In case you, like I this morning, do not realize it, if you run quickly backwards 6-7 feet while turning your head back to look upwards at the shuttle attempting to go way over your head and then you jump and shift your upper body weight backwards by swinging your arm to hit the shuttle with the raquet, you should not expect to land on your feet. A little extra weight padding on your rump like I have is not to your disadvantage in this case. When I landed, the teacher and my coplayers asked me if I was okay and the first thing out of my mouth was "did it make it?" meaning did the shuttle that I just embarrassed the hell out of myself to hit make it over the net. It didn't. At least the only things wounded were my pride and a small bruise on my elbow.
