Following Imogen Bankier's recent departure from the Great Britain Badminton Programme, her mixed doubles partner Chris Adcock remains optimistic about what lies ahead on the road to Rio.
Focus
The Leicester-born athlete, who will not know his next pairing until the official announcements regarding playing line-ups are made, is happy to concentrate on his men's doubles progress with Andy Ellis.
He added: "I am playing men's doubles with Andy at the minute and we are putting in some really good performances. We are focusing on that as a pair and focus on myself in training so that when I do get put into a new partnership, I am more than ready to go straight in."
With recent news about Badminton England planning a move to a new £20million training base and headquarters in the Buckinghamshire town, Adcock is enthusiastic about what it could mean for the future of British badminton.
"I have had a brief look at the plans and it looks like it would be a spectacular venue and a great home for badminton," he said. "We are lucky enough to have a good facility at the minute but if they can improve that and make it more of an arena performance-wise, then that would be brilliant."
Aiming to provide a successful legacy, the London 2012 Olympics were always about 'inspiring a generation.' The GB player believes that the sport is heading in the right direction, saying: "Together with Badminton England and UK Sport, if we can get that new centre up and running and get more people enjoying and playing badminton then it can only be good for the sport.
"I think the Olympics as a whole produced a great legacy but if we can get just a few more people picking up a racquet, renting a court and going to play, then our job is done."
So with the Rio plans having already been submitted to UK Sport, Adcock is aiming to ensure the next four year's culminate in a much more successful way than his first Olympic experience.
He added: "For us as players, it is just to make sure we are doing everything we can to get ourselves better, making sure that when we enter the next Olympics we are in a position to medal and to be favourites for a medal.
"As athletes we need to fully focus on performance, making sure we make the most of every second on court so that we can put ourselves in the best position possible.
"It is all about making sure what happened in London doesn't happen again."
With a positive attitude and sturdy determination, it seems that Adcock and the other British players have a realistic shot at bringing home more than just memories when they leave Rio in 2016.
