JP
is the author of all of the articles in this site. He first
encountered badminton when he was in highschool, where he played
singles. Being a scrawny little kid back then and with other
more prominent athletic talents, JP abandoned badminton for
the time being and went on to pursue excellence in other sports.
It is not until he became a middle-aged guy when he "truly"
started to badminton. A friend of JP's, another badminton fan,
introduced JP to a group of people who play badminton with each
other regularly, and that's how it all started. Over the years,
JP has played many memorable matches, gained skills and experience,
and learned to truly love the game. Even though JP has become
pretty skilled in the game of badminton, he still strives to
improve himself.
Nowadays JP plays badminton several times a week, usually in
local community centres. He plays doubles most of the time,
and enjoys teaming up with his son, TJ, who shows up some of
the time, to play against people. When JP is not playing badminton,
he tries to improve his knowledge and understanding of the sport
by watching videos of high level competitions, training with
weights, and playing around with his racket. It's fairly recently
(in 2005) that JP started to write articles regarding badminton.
His goal is to compile and share his experiences with other
players and learn even more from discussing with other players.
JP also maintains a badminton blog, aptly named JP's
Badminton Blog.

TJ is JP's son, and the adminstrator/designer of this website. TJ is not a badminton "lover" like JP, but he thinks that badminton is fairly fun and is a good way to get some exercise, so he goes along to play some of the time. TJ is not quite as good a player as his father, but he still considers himself to be an fairly good player. TJ's other hobbies include playing video games, reading sci-fi novels and, of course, web design. This is not the only site that TJ is administering. He has several other sites under his possession as well. Here is an even more in depth profile of TJ, hosted on his own website.
