When I'm on the court, I'm a follower.

If we dare to win, we should also dare to lose

Coming in as a veteran, I'd like to finish with a gold medal.

Badminton in Beijing is huge - it's one of their top three sports.

One thing I always tell people. If you want to be gold medalist, you partner one.

Badminton is not popular in the U.S. because I think the mentality of badminton has to change.

If it's not televised, there's no way Americans will know about competitive badminton. All they know is the back-yard thing.

We do the majority of what most athletes do. For example, as a badminton player, you have to be able to run a long distance and sprint. We do weights three times a week.

Playing half court or even organising a practise game against another team is a great way to train. It ensures a tough session and is often the best way to learn what works and what doesn't

I hate that you don't have the insight. I hate that you shamelessly returned despite being kicked out. I hate that you don't even seem to have the slightest self-respect. And also the fact that you used San as your "heart-wrenching" excuse to return. Back to this hell-hole.

Don Chew is the owner of the Orange County Badminton Club, the location where I train. He played badminton when he was young and always had the passion for it. He never made it at the international level, but he wanted to give back to the sport. The majority of the elite players train at Orange County Badminton Club.
