Yes, thats true for sure, but do u think, that this is the only way to success and that this only have advantages? In Japan and Korea, the kids have the same standard day and these both countrys have the most suicides on the world, much more then the next countries in that statistics. And there are table tennis player like Timo Boll (he was the no1) and Ovtcharov, who also lived in Germany in his childhood who became absolute world class player, without such a pressure. Of cuz they also did a lot to become so strong, but they not had these 12 hours-school-days like in some Asian countries.
And I have met and know some pupil from Japan, the Phillippines and China and they all hate their school life, they really are jealous on the European school system (which also have differences) and I dont think that their way of grow up is a good one and it cannot be the only way to be successful. Also even China is not being world class in everything and in every sports. So their school system is (in my opinion) not the big reason, why the Chinese are so strong in table tennis.
And Zraxel has not to justify, he is not responsible that his school system is not the same like the school system of China or Japan.
Having been in both east and west, of course one will enjoy the west
But the west is too much "ease"
Same applies for TT training.
We once had a top chinese coach here and the TT body told the coach not to train the kids hard as we are the west, our kids can't sustain the work load.
What I am trying to point out is, in the east, the parents will want the child to go through hardship when young.
In west, it is mostly spoiled, as they worry the kid works too hard.
In the east, when the coach scolds the child, the mom will ask the kid why the coach scold and then scold the child another time.
In the west, the mom will sue the coach
Of course in the east, heavy western influence, so a lot of this has started to change.
Now the western system imo is too ease, it needs to increase a bit, and most of this is from home culture/teachings.
Boll, Dima is only 2 people, if there are a constant 3 or 5 in this level, then we are talking.
What Zraxel and his young mind only sees that China is winning, but he doesn't see it is become England is loosing.
The problem is always within, kids need to stop looking outside for solutions, they need to start from within
