Indian badminton team scripted history by becoming the only 6th nation to win the Thomas Cup.
Coincidentally, it was the first final appearance too.
With a young squad, beating the great team with so much success and experience.
It all starts from the effort and surely the effort of players, the federation can not be neglected.
BAI, It's approach and the result!
Badminton association of India, which governs Badminton as a sport in India.
The BAI is also responsible for the training and development of the players, along with its basic duty to organize different tournaments.
The working style is unique, and exceptional!
Even though Badminton as a sport is very common in India but not a professional option.
To change this BAI had to improve the concept, bring out the best from the players, and thus automatically generate the interest.
The success and proper reimbursement only can make most people in India choose it as a profession, and make parents help their children to learn and improve.
Also creating a cycle without any void.
And BAI is very much successful in this, in collaboration with the central government, it started the training program, development, and proper care of the players.
The process of identifying the talent like Lakshya, bringing out the best in him is one example.
The squad picked up for after deliberation and the inclusion of HS Pronnoy also shows the right approach.
Different foreign exposure tours!
Success is only guaranteed when we do overall development.
The federation has done it by making players go out from the niche and learn from the foreign tours.
The organization has done enough for our players to improve and stay calm during crucial moments.
The Thomas cup win is the result of that, a crucial juncture and proper use of it made us win it in the straight sets.
Not only against Indonesia but teams like Malaysia and Denmark.
It shows how properly the nurturing of the players has been done.
With limited sources, the government is bound to invest.
Thus successful endeavors ensured that and TOPS initiative, foreign exposure funding brings better organization abilities.
The conflicts are none but only the positives.
The way the federation and the government worked together to bring the best of the coaches to train players shows dedication.
While many federations have marked previous months and years with conflicts and poor results.
The BAI stands still with a lot to show and also the way it should be worked too.
Past, Present, and the Future!
Even the cricket team lacks consistency in the international tournaments.
On the other hand, the continuous success and less gap between the two are commendable.
Years after years, Badminton players have brought glory to the nation.
From Olympic medals to the big tournament wins.
The development is also universal, as both men and women badminton players shared it.
Lesson to learn from BAI.
The lesson that many federations including AIFF need to learn is proper development, fewer conflicts, and more output.
The organization of the tournaments, regular updates, and the growth.
We haven't seen that in consecutive years marked with improper management and downfall.
The solo good performances of the players and the teams don't make the AIFF better.
The only thing which is better with AIFF is the inclusion of young players, their development, and proper nurturing.
But there is more that should be done unless you want to stay in the background of the happy faces.
