Hey Everyone, here is some footage from my women’s doubles semi-finals at the 2011 Canadian Senior Nationals. My doubles partner is Val Loker. We lost in three long games to Phyllis Chan and Christin Tsai. It was one of the longest matches I have ever played in my career. It was very painful. We had some very long rallies, but I guess that’s what happens when you put an attacking team (Val and I) vs. a defensive team (Phyllis and Christin). It was a really great, fun game but very physical. My body was dead by the end.
I hope you guys like it!
p.s. Val and I came third and the 2011 Canadian Nationals. We won the 3/4 play-off against Charmaine Reid and Suneeta Khare (21-13, 21-16)
Hi everyone, I found another good commercial done by Can Fund. It really sums up what Canadian athletes have to go through compared to other athletes around the world. I know that when I have told other Badminton Athletes from other countries what we have to do to be able to compete, they all can’t believe it. Many of them say they would never be competing in badminton if it was like that for them. Many Canadian athletes from all different sports, travel to tournaments around the world without a coach! Other teams arrive with managers, coaches, physio, massage. I have had coaches from other countries take pity on me and offer to coach me if they didn’t have any players competing at that time. I have also had other countries team physios ‘donate’ their time to me. This is not an uncommon practice of many Canadian Athletes. It does build a different kind of athlete though. There is a lot more sacrifice that Canadian athletes have to make. As a whole this type of commitment/sacrifice that us Canadian Athletes make bring us all together. When Canadian athletes get together we all swap horror stories that we all have experienced because of this lack of funding. It is definitely very bonding. We all can connect with each other this way. But it would be great in the future if we could find a connection to each other through winning medals instead of lack of funding.
Check out the Commercial
Hey everyone, I found this commercial produced in Toronto demonstrating some of the things Canadian Athletes have to deal with. It is pretty funny check it out!

Hi, I want to put in a little correction. In the video I said that Ashley and Kim won 25-23 in the third game but it was actually only two games. I meant to say in the second game.
