00:00TNT badminton player Shaquida D'Eboulay continues to make strides on the international circuit and for 2026 she's hoping to
00:07take her game to a new level.
00:09So my plan is just to try to compete in as many tournaments as possible to improve my world ranking
00:19and to improve my performance overall.
00:22When is your next event?
00:24Well hopefully it would be nationals which will take place in Taqueribua in March.
00:30She indicated that she's been working on improving her fitness for competitions.
00:34It's mainly about trying to build on fitness because you can't really do that during the course of the year
00:41as you have to focus more on peaking and taking part in tournaments.
00:45And focusing a bit on skills but mainly building the base for fitness.
00:51D'Eboulay participated in approximately eight competitions in 2025 and says her performances had not been consistent for different reasons.
00:59Why do you think your performance was up and down?
01:03I would say maybe because of the lack of training at certain points of the year carried a few niggles
01:11throughout the course of the year.
01:15And yeah not really taking part in like training camps and so on abroad so I think yeah that kind
01:21of led to the yeah the mix bag.
01:25However she's prepared to do what it takes to achieve her goals.
01:28I would say maybe trying to make it on the international podium.
01:35Last year I made a couple quarter finals so I would like to take that next step of trying to
01:41make it on the podium.
01:43This is the Dufour TV's Expo.
