Notable games: All of the Hunter games/ Playoffs
"Well in the Hunter games we were always the underdogs. I tried my best against my games against Brendan but was always outplayed. So I wouldn’t say I was a major role player in the games in Hunter or playoffs because it was always the team that carried me XD. You guys are the best and encouraged me to perform the best I could. Every clear, drive, drop, net, backhand, and smash had support from you guys and motivated me to try harder. I did get a couple of good smashes on Brendan and Sayed which were satisfying. I’m sorry I couldn’t make it count the times that you needed me. The Hunter games were always fun because we were always so close to winning especially the semi-finals during playoffs. We lost 2-3 but it was the closest match we had with them and we put up a great fight. Let’s take that loss and make it a stepping stone for the next season where you guys take the championship. :P :D :P ( I believe in you guys.)" - Abdur Khan
Words of Praise from teammates:
“Abdur is a great player who brings together the team as a tight-knit family. He's always positive, even if the odds are against us. Abdur never gives up and serves as an inspiration for everyone on the team.”
“Great player, motivational, teaches well, fun to talk to.”
“He was a great captain who was very encouraging.”
“As the captain he has been influential in bringing the team together.”
“Great Captain.”
“He is a great captain and person. He has helped me learn and get better at badminton.”
“Cuz why not. Wasn’t there for his stuff but I can see that he works hard esp with that trio with hao and ralph.”
Words to the future team:
Remember the most important thing is to have fun when you're playing badminton. If you want to improve you have to dedicate time and energy to practice. Improvement doesn’t happen in a day but it’s a progress of every time you step on the court. Hold your heads up high every time you are playing a game and never give up on a shot until the shuttlecock falls on the ground. The game is never over until one person scores 21 so there’s always a chance to come back, so believe in yourselves. Lastly, I would like to thank everyone I met in my badminton career for making it a memorable experience and being another family to me. The Second Era of Bronx Science Badminton begins with you guys so make it a great one!
