Keeping a Cool Head On Court

[DennisNielsen]

I firmly believe it is important to keep a cool head on court, something that the foreign players seem to do better than the British, especially the far eastern players.

You cannot play when you lose your head, unfortunately I know this to my cost. I think the younger players should be taught this lesson as early as possible and there should be a fine issued to anyone who receives a yellow or red card on court.

You don't see the far eastern players losing their heads, something that we should learn from. I have been to a few tournaments this season and have seen some terrible behavior on court. I believe the players need harsher punishment if they misbehave.....do you agree with me?

I don't think badminton players are in the same financial league as in other sports to warrant a fine. I think that perhaps the threat of losing points & matches with the current card system is enough. Although I do disapprove of bad behaviour on court, look what McEnroe's noteriety did for Tennis.

Admitedly Daniel they are not in the same league as other sports, but they do need to be taught a lesson
