Badminton is really going well. I feel powerful with my returns, confident carrying out the different hits and (sometimes) quick about covering the court.
My only problem is with the outfit.
I've played a lot of sports throughout my life. It all started with soccer. I began playing when I was about 5 years old. Next I joined city league softball. Basketball came in during the 5th grade. At some point around then I learned to ski. Then in middle school, volleyball replaced soccer and I joined the track team.
Ultimately it was volleyball that won out. I played two seasons a year starting from the 6th grade all the way up until I graduated from high school and then I moved on to playing college ball.
But we were talking about outfits (or more to the point - uniforms - but for this post it's about what to practice in, so if you'll allow it - outfits).
The outfit for volleyball is simple. Cutoff t-shirt, sport bra, spandex, knee socks, knee pads and your shoes. The best part is your spandex.
They are so tight and small that underwear isn't really something you need to consider. Actually you don't consider it. You just don't wear them. As I said, spandex are small and tight as it is - two birds, one stone.
But living in a country that claims to have a modesty issue about tits and ass, spandex seem an unlikely ally to have. Especially when you are practicing with your Principal, Vice Principal, and now 4 other teachers from your school.
But the humidity and footwork are winning out as the more pressing issue in determining what I wear to practice.
I've already given up wearing leggings and tees and have moved to shorts and bra-baring cutoffs. I didn't have a choice! Summer has started to set in and the humidity is averaging in the upper 60 percentile! I start sweating just in my warmup!
At first I felt uncomfortable in my cutoff. My Principal can see my bra!! My Vice Principal is getting flashed some skin! But dear God it's hot.
The cutoff has eased some of the temperature troubles, but what I need is spandex!!
The footwork for badminton feels similar to volleyball. Quick, short, low balanced steps that carry you in and out of your home position. They're easy enough to do, but not easy on wedgie riding panties. I can't return two volleys without having to discreetly try and pull my panties back into their desired position!
If I thought showing part of my bra was bad, how much worse is it to be constantly picking wedgies in front of my superiors?!
So Korea you have choice.... spandex or grandma panties?! And please, please, plllleaassseeee pick spandex!
