Subject: NT Ranking

it's ok...if you start at with 545 points and go to 721 in less than 2 months, you may be satisfied... But I have a question to you...

How do you this it is going? Above expectations? or disappointed?

I'm happy with our current ranking. I do hope to get Hong Kong a few more places higher, to make sure we'll get a more favorable draw in the next World Championship. Have to keep our ranking place above 70 (or below it, depending on how you see it).

But actually, I think this question is more for you instead of for me.
Do you think I'm doing a good job? Yes or no, please tell me what I'm doing wrong and right, but especially what I'm doing wrong, so I can learn from it and become a better coach for Hong Kong.

It seems other teams lost more points than we did!

I do think so. I think also the ranking place is saying that. After two months you and your team climbed up 12 places.

But also besides that... you try to be active in the community where barely people are responding to what you say. That's hard and everything except exciting.
I'm happy with you as NT Coach. Maybe one of the best we every had.

Thanks gsasia, I appreciate that.
