Joshua Kusan is a recreational badminton coach based in Sudbury ON. He is 22. The team he coaches consists of mostly 8 year old and 9 year old boys. What compells him most to teach is his younger brother's involvement on the team,
but also because he enjoys that the boys
like playing, but
still are
competitive
enough to
play to
enjoy the time
they're having.
He knows that
in high stress situations,
to keep his cool so the boys don't sense it.
Before a game day, he hypes the boys up
and makes sure that they practice so that
they are prepared.
Joshua said that he would just practice more than they usually do, and inform the boys if they were up against a stronger team.
