Hard work. Focus. Perseverance. Respect. I’ve learnt so many things from playing sport.

Shih-Yuan

[Shi-Yuan]

My name is Shih-Yuan and I play badminton.

Badminton is the fastest racquet sport in the world. It's exciting because the rallies can be played at such a fast pace.

I started playing badminton when I was five years old because of my mum. She's an Olympian and my coach. She's amazing.

My sister inspires me to play good badminton as we train together, encourage and motivate each other. She has supported me since the start.

When I'm in an intense game I feel more determined to win. I stay focused by taking deep breaths and never giving up.

Biggest achievements? Winning gold in doubles, singles and mixed at the under 13 national championships in 2022 and 2023.

In the future I hope I can follow in my mum's footsteps and play for Australia at the Olympics and Commonwealth Games.

And to inspire others to play the sport.
