A little anecdote: I remember travelling for a badminton tournament with a friend a few years ago. The excitement of the matches, the thrill of the competition, and the camaraderie with fellow players were unmatched. My friend didn’t understand the rules of the matches, which made it hard to get into. So I taught them how everything worked, and he got hooked on the next game. Ever since we’ve been playing badminton with each other just because of that one tournament. But what made the experience even more memorable was my comfortable stay, just minutes away from the venue. It made all the difference in ensuring I was well-rested and ready for each game.
