    Any sport is more instinctive than tactical if you don't know the sport well. Doesn't make it true though.

    Badminton if you take seriously is pretty intense. Much more intense than this. And I’ve played numerous sports. Football, badminton, basketball. A version of the padel game called pickle ball, unless it’s the same thing. Badminton if played seriously against someone of similar level can make you try to over extend to reach things which can lead to ankle or knee injuries. Whether it’s your knees giving out, you rolling your ankle, or the grip on your shoe being trash. It’s much easier to get injured in badminton than this game since you have to many intricate lateral and back and forth movements which could end up with ankle injuries, which is definitely worse for a footballer than anything else.
