Hello! I am Sitan Zhan, a competitive junior badminton player in the USA. I was born in China, where my dad introduced me to the sport of badminton in our backyard, and ever since, I have fallen in love with it. Coming to the USA, I have consistently trained under coach Qiu Chongtian, where I was able to reach a nationally competitive. Then I moved to England, where I continued my pursuit of badminton, joining the county team and actively playing tournaments. After a while, I moved back to the Boston area and kept playing badminton. Throughout my journey, badminton has kept me healthy, improved my habits, and helped me find a sense of community in the several foreign places I moved to. Therefore, I hope to bring the same benefits that I was rewarded through coaching.
