Esmond first started playing badminton recreationally at a young age. About 8 years ago, his interest in badminton resurfaced because he watched his son grow in his badminton skills through class when he was young. This is where he met our president Henry Wong, who offered him the position to be a coach. Esmond accepted this position and found what is now his passion: to help kids like his son to not only play badminton well, but also to enjoy the sport and to be more skillful in their abilities. Recently, he received his Shuttle Time coaching certification in June of 2023. He still plays recreationally with other coaches and friends, but he also trains competitively at Vancouver Racquets Club. He coached at Westlu for two years (2021 to 2023) as a volunteer coach, teaching the beginner class. At F-16, he hopes to see young players like the ones in his previous class improve, and wishes to see them grow into future athletes.
