The just concluded Thomas-Uber Cup Tournament serves to help Malaysia and other contestants learn an important lesson which is that when it comes to especially in sporting events - that the most determined player or team will almost always win.

China has been consistent throughout since they started participating in the Thomas-Uber Cup Tournament and yet the South Korea women's team displayed a new high in determination to ensure they landed the Uber Cup.

Essentially any possible contestant/team who determines with conviction the need to win a forthcoming tournament is able to reach new highs and when they do this with dedication, all that is necessary is preparation beforehand.

Late starters India who played better this time round said they know their strengths for now but continous dedication to the game will ensure improvement.

Our own Malaysian team should basically be re-set with younger players who have an innate zeal like that displayed by Lin Dan of China.

New players with a basic mindset like that of Lin Dan whose flawless display of command during any game will enable any young Malaysian player to surely hone up whatever necessary talent to ensure future victory.
