Meanwhile, as the lights grew brighter, my head became clearer. After a few particularly long points, I found myself on the sidelines about to throw up.
A 10-minute rest, assisted leg lifts, and copious gulps of sports drink finally saved the day, and me, from the embarrassment of throwing up on camera.
That being said, I managed to take a couple of points off some of the players. But I didn’t come close to stealing a single one from Loh.
BUILDING RESISTANCE
In the second part of the session, known as the “multiple” or multiple shuttle drill, Ho threw shuttlecocks all over the court for Loh to return.
This allowed Loh to work on his court coverage without having too much impact on his injured shoulder, his coach added.
A “multiple” can also be in the form of a smash and drop shot combination where Loh will generally need to return 12 to 16 shuttlecocks per set, with about 20 seconds of rest in between.
«It’s basically about (making a) career. “It’s resistance training for my legs because the intensity of my workout (today) wasn’t that high, so I add more during (the) multiples,” Loh said.
For our training, the multiple was a “free” session, which meant flyers would come from anywhere and everywhere.
