During the off-season, I try to increase my practice sessions, and I am also training with my coaches. – Lin Dan
When you fully focus in the match, you don’t think too much about the atmosphere and the climate. Even if the temperature goes up, we will both sweat the same. – Lin Dan
I have never considered any player as my competitor; each one of them is good and talented, and my job is to beat them. – Lin Dan
Of course, in China, there’s already plenty of people who like badminton. I’m hoping more foreigners, Americans, and other countries can get into this sport. – Lin Dan
I am no genius; I just worked hard like my other teammates, and I believe all my teammates can win the title as they work hard, too. – Lin Dan
Badminton is not only about winning. What is important to me is about playing hard, doing my best and putting up a good show for the spectators. – Lin Dan
It is difficult to single out any one player, as I aim to give my best against every single player that I have played so far against. – Lin Dan
If you play a match, then you got to give it all to beat the opponent; there is nothing like playing against a great or a non-great player. I treat them all as opponents and aim to beat them. – Lin Dan
Of course every player wants to go from good to better, but one should not be obsessed with it. – Lin Dan
I have admired Taufik Hidayat for being exceptionally talented and Hendrawan for being a great player only because of his hard work and dedication. I have always looked up to them as players. – Lin Dan
