Reflections
 .................................................................... We
got a lot of information about shuttleball
today. We knew about the history and how
it played. I admire Mr. Yang very
much. He had went through a lot, and faced
many difficulties when playing shuttleball.
But he never gave up. For him, playing shuttleball
is so much fun.
 ....................................................................
The thing that impressed me a lot is
a sentence said by Mr. Yang. He said it
takes a thousand times of practice to make
a movement an instinctive action. That s
why the players need to practice a lot everyday.
 ....................................................................
Today I learned the difference between
the Taiwanese shuttleball, Chinese shuttleball
and the takraw. Unlike Taiwanese Shuttleball,
Chinese shuttleball looks more like a shuttlecock
and it is the one used in the international
games. Takraw on the other hand is round
and hard, with no feathers.
