  Beyond the Basics is a series of sports books aimed at advanced players who have mastered the basics of their sport, but want to increase the standard of their play and improve their performance up to, if required, competition standard. This can be achieved by thorough understanding of the game, by optimum fitness, correct mental preparation and analysis of one's own and one's opponent's technique under different conditions. National Badminton Coach, Jake Downey, guides the player towards a complete understanding of the game and what he or she wants to achieve from it. He offers comprehensive practice techniques for all aspects of the game, including a complete reference list of strokes and racket and body skills and how to improve them in practice and in competition, and shows a player how to develop a winning attitude.
