We are Greg and Jenny, the creators of Badminton Insight.
We are two professional badminton players from England and have both been heavily involved in badminton throughout our lives.
We created Badminton Insight as we believe that with our experience, knowledge, and passion for the game we can provide valuable resources for both players and coaches to expand their knowledge.
2000 – 2013
We both started playing badminton at a very early age, playing multiple times a week and competing in tournaments around the UK and Europe throughout our childhood. The photo below is us at 11 years old!
2013 – 2019
After joining Loughborough University in 2013 (Jenny studied International Business and Greg studied Sports Management), this is where our professional badminton journey began: we started training on-court 2 times per day, doing weights training 3 times per week, seeing a nutritionist and psychologist, and getting regular sports massages. Throughout our time at University (alongside studying and training) we also both did various part-time jobs, including coaching, stringing, being a Deliveroo rider and even a security guard!
We also started competing regularly in professional tournaments across Europe, and eventually won our first international title together in 2018 at the Norwegian International!
After completing an Undergraduate degree and a Masters degree, we graduated from Loughborough University in December 2019.
2020 – Now
So much has happened in this period! We started Badminton Insight in April 2020 with the aim of helping grow the sport around the world by educating and inspiring players of all levels to improve their game. Since then we have gained more than 440,000 YouTube subscribers and 55 million views (at the time of writing), and we have even broken a Guinness World Record!
In 2023 we also reached a career high ranking of 28 in the world, and on a personal note we got married in July 2023 (this is one of our most frequently asked questions!)
Thank you for taking the time to read about our journey until now, and we hope that Badminton Insight can help you in your own badminton journey!
We have a strong passion of growing the sport around the world.
We will use up-to-date methods and strive to be innovative in how we teach badminton through online resources.
We want to provide access to high-quality resources to help people improve.
