TuksBadminton: Bongani von Bodenstein off to Commonwealth Games

Your hard work has propelled you to the top. Which one of your victories would you say was the most rewarding and why?
I would say it was being crowned triple champ in 2017 at the USSA because I was injured two weeks prior to the tournament and I wasn’t at a 100%, but winning and becoming one of the few people to win triple champ back to back really brought me joy.

 

Many players have routines and habits when they play badminton. Do you have any thing you do before a game?
I like to pray in a quiet place to calm myself down, then I listen to hip hop music to pump me up and lastly I listen to worship music and begin envisioning the game and victory.

 

You have proven yourself to be a winner, what would you like to achieve next year?
Next year is the Olympic qualifying year and I would like to balance my studies and get my world ranking to top 120 in the world, and top three in Africa.
