About Badminton Coaching

My Way of Coaching

At Navodaya Badminton Academy, we keep things real. I’m Shrishail Mitkari, and I’ve played at the national level. For me, it’s all about passion, perseverance, and performance. I won’t sugarcoat stuff. If your basics are off, I’ll say it straight - ‘तूने shuttle मारा नीचे से ऊपर’ (You hit the shuttle from below). We fix it right then. The goal is to ‘हमेशा flat मारना है’ (always hit it flat).

How We Train

No shortcuts here, only hard work.

Multi-shuttle badminton drills to boost attack, defense, and reaction speed.
Loads of rally practice - 1v1, 2v1, 3v1 - so you learn to handle pressure.
Badminton footwork training is serious business. You’ll hear me shout “Quick, quick, quick!” while you cover all four corners and work on smash-tap moves.

Building Strength & Mindset

We don’t just play with a racket. Strength and conditioning for badminton is a must, so expect agility ladders, resistance bands, weights, and regular fitness checks. Mindset coaching for players is part of daily warm-ups: deep breathing, Om chanting, and focus drills. When it’s crunch time, I want you to ‘Points लो’ (take points).

Who Can Join?

Kids with big dreams, adults wanting to improve, total beginners, or competitive players looking for a push. If you’re serious, we’re here.

Facilities

Train at pro-level courts in Navi Mumbai, Kalyan, and Badlapur. Wooden and synthetic surfaces, all the gear, no excuses.

What I Expect

I’ll push you, sometimes tough, but it works. If you’re ready for hard work and straight talk, then ठीक है? (Okay?)

My Story

Hey, Shrishail Mitkari here. Badminton is not just a sport for me, it’s my heartbeat. I started Navodaya Badminton Academy in Navi Mumbai to shape future champs. My style? Direct, loud, and on-court. 'Smash! Quick, quick!'—you’ll hear me. If you mess up, I’ll tell you. तूने क्या किया था? ये मारा. (What was that shot?) But before we smash shuttles, we chill the mind with Om chanting, breathing, Bhramari. Mind first, body next. Watching kids and adults win medals—best feeling.
