Abstract | While on-court performance is crucial in badminton, off-court Badminton player performance is not only determined by on-court skills and physical training but also significantly influenced by various off-court factors. This survey examines key off-court elements that impact player performance, including mental health, nutrition, sleep patterns, social support, academic or professional responsibilities, and coaching dynamics. Through a combination of interviews, surveys, and secondary data analysis, the study identifies critical correlations between these factors and athletic outcomes. The findings highlight that psychological well-being, including stress management and motivation, plays a pivotal role in maintaining focus and resilience. Balanced nutrition and proper hydration are essential for sustained energy and recovery, while consistent sleep patterns support physical and mental rejuvenation. Social support from family, peers, and coaches provides emotional stability and enhances confidence. Conversely, unmanaged stress, poor time management, and external pressures like academic or career demands can detract from a player’s performance. |
