I recently went to KL, in Malaysia for two weeks training at Misbun Sideks Academy. 6am wake up calls and unbelievable humidity made for a difficult time, the training being during the hottest times of the day mostly! We stayed at the Sunway resort which had its own water park and shopping mall in the hotel which was where most of our free time was spent! I learnt alot and gained confidence in my training and fitness ready for the long season ahead and also got some vital practice in with my new doubles partner Lauren Bromley.
Whilst we were there we also went to an orphanage that one of the lads on our tour had been volunteering at for the past few months and last summer, this was the most amazing experience and one that everyone enjoyed and left feeling extremely lucky with what we have and learnt alot from! They put shows on and we gave them a badminton exhibition and played with all of them…some of them even beat us!Lets hope this trip helps me get better results this season throughout!
