promoting badminton yes but i don't think he is going to manage it on a break-even basis because to break even in the operation with that number of courts and futsal pitch either the rate has to be high or some subsidies from sponsors if the rate is not bear in mind main line is coaching and there has to be sinking fund for them to participate in competitions later lets see the rates and the sponsors advertisement later and we can make a better assumption
Taufik hidayat badminton centre!... what a nice short documentary on youtube [video=youtube;KwuH8FtHEzs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwuH8FtHEzs[/video]

Badzine had an interview with Taufik Hidayat about his Badminton school . Also, Badzine had an interview with Taufik Hidayat, asking him about his Badminton school; Badzine: What’s your expectation of TH arena? Taufik: I hope to boost the players' regeneration by creating more talented players. Of course we won't be able to see the result in a short time. This will take some time - approximately five or ten years - to witness the emergence of new stars. Source: http://www.badzine.info/index.php/p...-interview--taufik-to-launch-new-academy.html .
yes that was a very promising statement and i am sure taufik knows what he is doing. in 5 to 10 years time we will see some new talents from him wish him all the success
Perhaps Taufik is thinking of training players from younger ages (say from 8 to 12) . Perhaps Taufik is thinking of training players from younger ages (say, from 8 to 12). In 5 to 10 years' time, these players will be our future champions. IMHO, it is a good idea. .
I'm a huge fan of Indonesian badminton. Many reasons, and I wont get into them here and now. My post here is simply to share my recent thoughts and concerns. 1. Most people agree that the TH Arena is a good thing but then again, most have concerns about its viability. Some say that TH is a good money manager and businessman. I think he has had no time really to devote to look after his businesses. Its possible his family and other confidantes do this for him. So basically, he has to trust that a close circle of people are with him in this venture. 2. It doesn't matter how wealthy he or his family is. This sort of venture can very quickly make you bankrupt if you dont know exactly what you are doing. No one wants to see that hapen to TH. 3. He needs to pull in professionals from various disciplines to make this a viable long-term project. Finance; Management; Maintenance; Public Relations, Physical trainers, diet advisors, physiotherapists, coaches, guest lecturers, motivational leaders etc to name a few. Professionals will want money. 4. He needs to establish a network of talent-scouts all over the country. These people have to be provided very clear briefs on what to look for, and where. These are the people who will "feed the funnel" with the prospects, who will then be filtered through a process of elimination. Without this system, the Arena will be a non-starter insofar as his vision is concerned. 5. He will need to esablish a very comprehensive gym for strength training, with full-time accredited trainers who work in conjunction with the coaches and dietary professionals. 6. He will preferably need to establish a separate place for high-altitude training for the high-performance students. In the long run this will pay dividends in terms of performance. The benefits of this kind of approach are tremendous. Maybe the mountainous areas of Java can be used for this purpose. It also lends variance and freshness to the program. 7. He must get big corporate-style businesses interested. Not family-run businesses, preferably. Partonage and sponsorship is more than just about the money. The partnerships have many advantageous side-effects. 8. Finally, right here on BC. What about the influential Indonesian expats who are badminton fanatics? Do they want to do something for this project? Can they contact TH and offer their inputs? It could be in many forms: cash; technical knowledge; management skills; professional advise; endowments; scholarships; etc. What has prompted this post? I could be dead wrong but I have this sinking feeling that Indonesian badminton at the highest levels, has no real depth left at all. Alas, there is no second line with the potential and real capability to step up and become world-beaters in the next 2 years. The associations seem to churning out a lot of mediocre players, but none with star potential. If it continues to go this way, it would be like a disaster waiting to happen. I hope and pray I am wrong. OK, go ahead now. Slam me.
don't worry, cobalt, taufik only needs to be around the arena it will work just like magic, believe me of course the financial side he needs to be careful. with his vast experiences, skills and knowledge of badminton if he can pass them down, in no time we would be able to see many mini-taufik!
The short documentary on YouTube (Post #82) has been removed. WHY? . Just discovered that the short documentary on YouTube posted by george@chongwei (Post #82) has been removed. Why? .
Taufik Hidayat's Badminton School . Not much news have been received from Taufik Hidayat's Badminton School. Has any Indonesian BCer attended the coaching there? .
great pics! It seems there will be a lot of advertising stuff. But the building is not yet finished, as I can see. Is it already know when the arena will be opened? And will it available for toerisme?
FYI, TH Arena will be officially open around Indonesia Open Premier...LCW, Gade, Boonsak so far agreed to attend and play some exhibitions...still waiting for LD to confirm.... Yonex is sponsoring the Arena also....Adrianus ( initially playing for Singapore) has been attached to taufik's camp....Taufik and the gang indeed to look for new talents..
. It's only a five-minute drive from the Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) training camp in Cipayung. .
