Special Scoop: Behind the curtain, the success of ‘Bass-Popo’ inscribes history.
Something happy has happened in the Thai badminton scene. When the last 3 major badminton competitions in Thailand Breakthrough the COVID-19 checkpoint The competition was successfully completed.
But there are still stories that make Thais smile more broadly than that, which is the success of “basketball” Dechapol Phuwaranukroh And “Por Por” Supsiri Taerattanachai That Mao is a champion of mixed doubles, 3 big battles, whether it is a 1000 Super World Tour battle “Yonex Thailand Open” and “Toyota Thailand Open” Finish with “World Tour Finals 2020” It was the pair’s first win of the 1000 level. And is the first time for a Thai feathered fan to win the World Tour Finals as well
Basketball’s success is not easy. We’ll take a look at the behind-the-scenes look at how the team works. “SCG Badminton Academy” And especially the preparation during the nine months of no competition.
“Coach Om” Sermon Wisawat Head trainer Told of the work that The period when badminton was unable to compete because of the COVID-19 epidemic, a total of 9 months, was the time that needed to be used the most in developing sports science knowledge to athletes for further improvement. Let them know and understand with us The way of playing the opponent is studied. Simulate game scenarios to remove weaknesses and upgrade strengths. The past 9 months have been very worthwhile. Because during normal times, having to tour all the time There is no time to do it here.
“Both of them have made great progress. Both in physical and technical matters When the body is good, it is able to control the technical and skill competencies. Before the competition, the goal was to win all three trophies, although at that time the Chinese and Japanese teams had yet to withdraw. Because of the development of Bass and Popo “
Another strength that Coach Aum admires for their feathered counterparts is discipline.They both know what their duties are. And open exchanges of guidance with coaches and staff And after the training every athlete will give himself a daily assessment. Assess the coaches and teams. In order to recognize the flaws that will be fixed in the next day Which the coaches will evaluate the athletes as well Thus making the work very efficient
side Prof. Dr. Charoen Chaicharat Chief Sports Science Specialist SCG Badminton Academy said the nine months was a golden opportunity. We work hard There are both theory, practice and mental state. The key to both success is the strict discipline of doing everything according to the program. In addition, the adjustment of the use of energy in the play. It is something that athletes need to be learned. .. and is another factor that allows them to recover their physical condition quickly and successfully. Even competing almost every day and playing 3 games almost every match But both of them still had no signs of fatigue.
Prof. Dr. Charoen said that SCG Badminton Academy’s practice sessions are not focused on longer or longer training sessions than others. Instead, focus on the quality and objectives of each practice session that meets the questions and goals that we have set or not. By giving importance to and taking into account the body’s mechanical performance and balance
In the practice it is important to have a training method that is suitable for you. Not going to take on other people’s training styles to use with athletes And most importantly, to develop thinking skills A rational and realistic way of thinking .. For example, if P / basketball… wants to win or be the world champion or beat your opponent. What should I do? And in the past, we lost him because of what, etc. Because if we were the same model or copy other people to practice, we would never be able to win.
“The important thing that I always teach all athletes is concentration and mental control, which is very sensitive and important. We never put the pressure on them expecting to win. … Because every athlete will have accumulated pressure before going on the field And will put even more pressure during the game And this work shows that We have already stepped over there. Both exams incredibly well on their own mental health, and both of them are very good teamwork, both of the Ombaspo.
Venus Assawasitthavorn Director of the Enterprise Brand Management Office “SCG” said that the athletes must be appreciated.

“SCG believes in Thai athletes who are unbeaten in the world. Can stand as one of the world class If you have determination, dedication, practice and self-discipline, you must also be a professional. The success that has happened is a story that proves that Guidelines for sports science coupled with correct badminton skills But need to develop further The team still has to work harder. Because other nations have to fix and develop in order to defeat us. Including the need for the development of new athletes To have continuity too “
While Basketball and Popo say this achievement is the most impressive in the life of a badminton player. And has resulted from many years of hard work And the dream after this is to win medals in the Olympic Games Believe that Tokyo 2020 in Japan
While Coach Om concluded that, however, this work is still not called success. There is still a lot of work to do. There is a new story That I didn’t know yet And will have to learn more Including creating a new generation of athletes in the correct way
Until the day I got to that point To be called success Which must continue to be dedicated …
