Passion in badminton

My name is Joonas Korhonen, and I am a professional badminton player based in Helsinki area, Finland. I’ve been playing badminton since I was 8 years old, and began coaching at the age of 17.

On a senior level, I’m proud to have won two bronze medals in the national championships for men’s singles, as well as achieving the title of Finnish doubles champion in 2023.

Additionally, I earned a silver medal in the Bulgarian International tournament in 2019.

As a junior player, I achieved places 9-16 in both the world junior championships for mixed doubles and the European junior championships for men’s singles under 19 years old.

I’m also proud to have won gold in singles, doubles, and mixed doubles in the Finnish national championships for players under 19 years old – a rare accomplishment that has been achieved by few.



Now Joonas Badminton provide services include paid badminton consultation sessions, and we are currently developing badminton lessons(backhand, footwork, and a lot more) which will be available soon.

Stories & my hobbies:

As a child, I was an active participant in various sports. My athletic journey began when I was just five years old, playing tennis with my father. Shortly after, I joined a local club to continue playing tennis but ended up quitting when I was seven. I then turned to football and played it for a few years. I also enjoyed playing floorball outdoors with my neighbors. However, from the very beginning, I felt a special connection with badminton. I was fascinated by the speed of the game, and despite the injuries I sustained due to high-speed and intense training during my teenage years, I continued to persevere.
I had to adapt my playing style as I matured as a player. The numerous injuries I sustained led me to develop a more defensive playing style over the years. I felt that my body could no longer handle the intense training and workloads, so I had to practice less. Despite the changes I had to make, I never lost my love for the sport.

During the most challenging times in my career, I turned to eastern philosophy and meditation. This interest grew over time and became my most important hobby, which I practice daily. I have also read over 50 books related to meditation, and I believe that it has helped me develop not only as an athlete but also as a person.
My experience in various sports has helped me understand the importance of hard work, perseverance, and the ability to adapt. These values have become integral to my approach to badminton, both as a player and a coach. My story is a testament to the idea that success comes from the combination of dedication, hard work, and a willingness to learn and grow.
