Ong Ewe Hock (Interview Part 1)(转载之badminton information.com)
What age did you start playing ? At the age of 13th, in Penang, this was considered late. I was actuallymore interested in soccer at the start. My elder brother, Ong Ewe Chyewas a national team doubles player and it was mainly because of himthat I got interested in the sport as I tagged along. He was six years my elder. He was the nationaldoubles player together with the Sidek brothers (Razif and Jalani) andCheah Soon Kit – Soo Beng Kiang then. Was it your intention to be a professional player from the start ? No, it all started by just taking up the sport as ahobby. As I got better, I was invited to train with the Penangbadminton state program. I later competed in my state’s juniorchampionship which I won. The three best players from each state inMalaysia were selected to compete against each other, which I also won. From there, I was drafted into the nationalset-up. As I mentioned, I preferred soccer to badminton so it wasunexpected that I ended up as a professional badminton player. When did you realize you were good enough to be a world beater ? It’s a step-by-step process, from taking up thesport as a hobby to wining a few junior tournaments to thinking “I wantto be the best in Malaysia” to wanting to become the best in the world.It’s really a gradual process. The mini-success I had at junior levelbrought about the hunger for bigger things to come. How were you noticed at the national level ? It was an automatic process in that from winning the state tournamentat juniors to winning the juniors at the national level, the selectorstook notice of me. I was eighteen (18) when I was drafted into thenational junior squad. Penang seems to produce quite a few successful badminton players at the world arena. Why is that ? Penang has produced Datuk Eddy Choong, Teh Kew Sun, Koay Kar Lin, OngEwe Chye, myself to Lee Chong Wei, the current world number two. Penanghas a system whereby the players start from very young at the age ofseven. Over weekends, there are gatherings organized by the Penang BadmintonState Association for the youngsters to learn the basics of the game.We encourage them to come and develop proper fundamentals rather thanthem going outside and learning all the wrong basics from the start. Which year was you drafted into the national squad ? 1991, after Form Five, when I was nineteen,straight after my SPM. I got involved full-time in the sport. I won thenational junior under 18 and under 20 and I was regarded as one of thenext batch of up and coming stars to replace the current crop ofplayers then, which consisted of Rashid Sidek and the Sidek Brothers,Foo Kok Keong, Kwan Yoke Meng, Cheah Soon Kit and others; basically thenucleus of the side that won the 1992 Thomas Cup. Have you ever considered making a name in doubles ? Since your brother was a national doubles player. I actually won a few doubles titles at the nationaljunior level but my aim was always to become a national singles playersince the day I joined the state training programme. Did any of your batch mates made the same grade as you ? If not, what was the reason ? It’s all down to commitment. Some didn’t take it asseriously. There is also the talent element and the luck factor. Onewho did make the grade was Yong Hock Kin. He was the second singles forour national team then.
