If you're a badminton player and you've spent some time on Youtube searching topics like, how to play badminton, how to be good at badminton or how to be better at badminton then you've probably come across the Youtuber we spoke to!
You may have seen some of his more popular videos, "How to Play Backhands like Taufik Hidayat" or "Perfect Badminton Low Serve Every Time”. We really admire that he has been able to educate badminton players and fans while still allowing non-badminton players to enjoy his videos too with his great sense of humour!
Some of you may know who I'm talking about by now but if you don't, his name is Jonathan Tang and he is the founder of Swift Badminton.
For those of you unfamiliar, you can find his channel here and one of his more popular videos, "How to Play Backhands like Taufik Hidayat" is below:
Now for those of you interested in the conversation we had with Jonathan, check out the full episode below or click here:
Jonathan talks about his journey in badminton, including his "Badminton-preneur" choices and mindset. He shows us the keys to success and how to take on the myriad of challenges that entrepreneurship brings.
