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.
Hey everyone, I came third in Women’s Doubles at the 2011 Canadian National Championships this past weekend. My doulbes partner and I Val Loker, took out the second seeds, then we lost in the semis in a monster match that lasted over an hour (21-17, 17-21, 21-16). I was a little disappointed we lost but it was a great game and it could have gone either way. Then we won the 3/4 play-off. I played great in that match so all in all the tournament was pretty good. Hope you guys like some of the rally I will try and get some other ones up soon, there were some really long ones!
Hey everyone, I know it has been forever but I am back now! I hope you guys like this one. I have included demonstrations of the dynamic stretches. They start at 2:56.
Hey everyone, I made it back to Canada for the Holidays. Here is my post about the things I have found that I like and dislike about Denmark so far. I know it is a long one but I hope everyone likes it.
Hi everyone, so yesterday I took the train to Aarhus for the day to do some Christmas shopping before I come home to Canada for Christmas. It was awesome, lots of different things in the stores compared to Canada. I also liked that some stores sell the same stuff but certain items would be on sale in one store and then different ones in another. This way I could search around for the best price on specific items I wanted. That leaves you with a good feeling because you know you found a good deal!
I saw these beautiful bird feeders and thought ‘that is perfect for my mom’ but then I realized that these bird feeders were way to fragile for the monster squirrels that my mom is always battling in our backyard. I heard that Denmark does have squirrels but I have never see one here and if they do then Denmark’s squirrels are quite tame compared to Canadian squirrels. 
Aarhus is a town about an hour and 20 min train ride from Ikast. It had a great indoor shopping mall and a really pretty outdoor shopping/walking street. I spent the day looking around both. All the shops were busy with people Christmas shopping. The one thing I noticed was that every shop would gift wrap whatever you were buying right there. I have definately not noticed that in Canada. When I was in one of the big department stores, they had a lingerie fashion show. They had chocolate, champagne and a DJ set up. So I hung around and watch the show for a while. It was lots of fun. All in all it was a great day, it even had some light fluffy snow flakes falling from the sky to top off the Christmas spirit. It was a lovely Christmas shopping day.

Hey everyone, I have decided to name this drill the Ultimate Rally drill because it is focused around playing long tough rallies. Hope you like it!
Hey Everyone, this week’s song is Hallelujah covered by one of the players from my badminton club, Ashley Moss. He is a great singer. I go next door to listen to him practice, I am not very musical but I love music and he is really good. I really like when he takes mainstream songs and gives them his own personal twist. You can also check out his player profile under: Team Ikast.
Hey Everyone I learned a new drill being here in Denmark and it is totally great!
Hey everyone, so this song is totally rocking my ipod right now. When Rihanna originally came out with ‘Pon De Reply’ a couple years ago I totally didn’t like her at all but she is really growing on me. Especially this song, it just makes me want to dance!
