We wish Coach Phu a very happy birthday! One year older he is, but still more immature than the youngest junior we have on the team. ^_^ We wish him many more years of fun and excitement coaching all of us.
P.S. Thanks to everyone for your best wishes and for coming to surprise him! I will post pics soon.

Happy New Year!
Wishing everyone a very happy Chinese New Year! ^_^
Here is an update from Ryan in China:
Hey Everyone,
You should all know im perfectly fine here. im Alive and very well. The training here is very intensive and at the same time really entertaining. The Kids here are very hard workers. They practically train all day and night. They train with great spirt and everytime they hit a smash, they let out a loud roar. well they yell SOOO liek dominick. If u dont know what that sounds like you can ask dominick to do it for you now.
Even the girls yell. Especially when they clear and SMASH. If you all look at my pictures ive posted up The two girls are 9 and 10. and They are here to train professionally.. They live at the training center and train everyday for about 4 hours and condition and jump rope on their own for fun. Right outside where they sleep and eat.
And the guys. The two Shortest guys are always 9 and 10. And they are just as dedicated as the girls. Right after a 4 hour training session they work out for an extra 30 minutes and Run for an extra 30.
Everyone here has a short resemblence of you guys back home. I guess thats why most peolpe say all Asians look alike huh. Haha... It makes me miss you all back home alot. I hope you are all training hard . cause im bragging about you all ALOT here. Saying you all train hard and how our slogan is Never give Up NEver Surrender.
These next two weeks. Since its New years here Or Spring fesitval everyone is on break. So all the professional players are coming back to help train the kids and play alot. Ive gotten to play a few and its very fun. Its fun cause i get to play my heart out with no regrets.

Message from Ryan in China
We found out yesterday that Ryan is *alive* and well! Here is a note from him to the team:
Hey everyone i hope you miss me a lot.
First, im sure everyone is wondering how im doing. I'm great actually. Everyone here is nice to me and treat me like i was leo back home hahah...
Everyone here reminds me of you guys ranging from short kids with amazing slices like Justin to super dark skinned guys with super smash like Son.
Although the kids I train with are a lot younger (all the kids i train with range from 9-14...lolol), they are about my skill level! They train with such a passion here it's out of this world. Everytime they think they do a good shot they scream SOOOOO really loud. every kid, not just some. And one day the coach came super late and all the girls just did double jumps for fun... the girls are 7-8...Karen's age. They can do up to 50 about from what i counted.
okay thats all i have time for today..
I miss everyone
Train hard and train with passion!
Bye --RYan
