Hi everyone,
In this episode, which has been available on patreon.com/vittinghus for a few days as a video podcast, I'm interviewing Raphael Sachetat, the founder of Solibad, a charity organization that uses badminton to create programs and help underprivileged children around the world.
I'm sure most of you, if not all, are already aware of Solibad and how fund I am of supporting them. So it was about time to get Raphael on to talk a bit deeper about the background of the charity and the work they do.
Raphael shares his background as a journalist and photographer in the badminton industry and explains how Solibad started. We talk about the Solibad projects in Bekasi, Indonesia, and also in Madagascar, where they provide support and opportunities for children in need.
We also talk about Solibad Days, a fun(d)raising event that aims to raise awareness and funds for the organization.
I hope you all find it interesting and if you want to donate or just learn more about the amazing work they all do, please go visit solibad.net. Remember 100% of all donations go directly to supporting the projects. All administrative fees are covered privately by the amazing volunteers behind Solibad!
Enjoy everyone!

This episode goes through some of the answers All England provided us with last week - with special focus on the questions I asked in the latest episode.
I also offer an update on some of the most interesting battles for Olympic qualification in all 5 disciplines.
So tune in to hear my thoughts - and I already have to apologise for not talking about Marin winning her second AE title. The first one in 9 years and after having had two big knee surgeries! Not sure how I forgot to mention this on the episode, but it's some truly inspiring stuff! Big game player for sure.
Enjoy everyone!

Thursday Oct 26, 2023
Hi guys,
Here's a live episode recorded during the BWF Coaching Conference in Copenhagen back in August.
It's a real interesting chat to two amazing former players Ra Kyung Min & Christinna Pedersen.
Both have some incredible accolades like being former world no. 1's and having won medal at both the Olympics and World Championships.
Most of the talk is about their experience with coaches and coaching throughout their careers, which I found really interesting to hear about.
So hopefully you guys will as well.
