Hey Cheung,
I am not going to Xiamen this summer; I am probably going to Xiamen for three weeks in December, my coach is looking into it for me. That is because this summer I will be playing in a Danish division II club (I believe) in Copenhagen for four months (from May to September 2004). I am getting the opportunity to meet Peter Gade there.It would not be economical to halt my training in Denmark for three weeks, pay $$$ to fly to Xiamen and train there, then fly back to Denmark. Don't you agree?

Hey Pete,
I believe the team is going for 22 or 23 days. This entails three weeks of intensive training, I looked over the program and it is very intensive. The cost is just under $4,000 Canadian, which covers airfare from Toronto to Xiamen, accomodation, food, training, and everything else. The program will be run by Coach Li (don't know his full name, but it is not Li Yongbo) and his group of coaches. I hear the provincial team trains there.

..MAS' national squad had him as one of the coaches before??..Are you asking BAM to get Mr. Park back??..
Wrong thread perhaps? This looks more like a PM, in fact. Oh, wait. I see now the 5-year-old post you were responding to, itself unrecognizably off-topic for such a thread.thats awesome reaper!!! i can only hope someday soon i get the opportunity to train overseas!!! An old training partner of mine from australia Ashley Moss plays for a Division I Danish club currently!! Maybe next year when i get strong enough and if i make the Australian national squad ill go for a holiday to train with him.
Keep us updated its really exciting too see!!!!!
The legendary player, currently the head coach of Japan National Team, Park Joo Bong, who has a nickname of "Emperor of Shuttlecock", now became Doctor. On August 20th, the coach Park got his Ph.D. degree from SoonCheonHyang University in Korea. His thesis title is "Modeling and analysis on the perfectionism, stress management, and achievement orientation of badminton players."

Well, looks like PJB is the second Korean badminton player to receive a Ph.D after KDM. It is not very surprising though that Korea takes education very seriously and even professional players ultimately achieve their doctorate degrees, something very rare indeed!
Both Koreans are world-class Olympians and I can't help but think that their brains might have something to do with their world-class achievements.
Just wonder though whether they have to get their masters degree before progressing to the doctorate after their first degrees.![]()

In 1910, Korea was annexed by Japan and remained a colony until the end of World War II in August 1945.
