if I have this opportunity to

aunt in Sichuan Province Song and Dance Ensemble members, its influence, Hu Na began learning ballet from the age of 6. In contact with tennis, she also juvenile sports school to learn gymnastics. One day, she inadvertently picked up the racket, keep their own name to play against the wall, do not know in what circumstances, not even hit a hundred balls. She was happy, feel the moment of dancing, gymnastics love, it seems a little fever.

born in tennis family, such talent, the ball steady, eye-hand coordination is high, look at the grandfather is also in the eyes of Chinese tennis celebrity Wenling, naturally overjoyed. From that day on, every day after school, she followed the grandfather school ball.

childhood, family, learn what not to force her. But Hu Na admitted, when many children would like to take athletic performance into the provincial team, can avoid the mountains and the countryside,cheap UGG boots, she also had this simple idea. 7-year-old school ball, 12-year-old youth team into the 15-year-old into the sports school, 16 years into the sports team. From the start, she felt that tennis is an easy thing to myself. Opponents of the game, although a large number of older than her, but she rarely lose. This is an immediate sense of accomplishment, she felt a lot of fun, always wanted to play the national championship.

play starting from the school, Hu Na's idol is the grandfather. He is the champion, also won the challenge sent by the Japanese warlords champion, is a hero in her eyes. Even have more than 60 years old, play action is still very beautiful. Later, Hu Na in the United States to play professional game, although can not see her play, her grandfather is still often written guidance.

Such as how to play the previous Council in order to suppress the opponents on the momentum; the score to a certain extent, what the tactics; or the winning moment, do not choose a conservative style of play because of stress, missed opportunities to win. These, then she can understand gradually. Sometimes, she even took my grandfather's letter to the court, when challenged, come to see, such good ideas. WTA players with the United States race is tight like a small Williams read the letter, with the same purpose.



Most players are good at baseline stroke, few people will play online. Grandfather taught her many different style of play and asked her to have to proactive.

16 years before the Hu Na been to Japan, Hong Kong, Romania, Spain and France game, but because of limited experience abroad, did not get the title. In this regard, she always felt unconvinced. Although there are TV, but tennis was not watching it on television. She still remembers, 16 years old, saw his first Wimbledon Na Lati Nova that in a video game. It was her first time to see someone playing backhand with both hands, feeling very strange. Green grass, a great yearning for her.

choice for the future onto the career path, she believes that athletes want to challenge players ranked higher than themselves, this sense of achievement, far more than simply take title in Asia. Although there were many foreign coaches think she has potential, invited her to go abroad to fight occupation. But the policy of the supremacy of national honor, she could not overcome.

and when she later saw some of the old in the Orange Bowl, the White House Cup fall by the wayside, have turned into the occupation, and even reached the world's top 30. (Unfinished)

then applied for political asylum. As Serial interviews are as follows:

do not want to just be a coach

However, more and more competition, less time reading. 91 years after retirement, she chose to return to college, while studying business management, but it is also the examination of the international coaching certificate, to prepare for the future.

living in America for many years, bought a house in California, Wu Na, also take their parents to live with them. However, she still feel inadequate sense of belonging. At this time, Taiwan has opened her heart. She recalls that early in the U.S., Taiwan, overseas Chinese have a lot of concern in California, her passion for the people of Taiwan have a very deep impression. In California, the majority of her friends are Taiwanese. 85,86 years, was invited to Taiwan to play, she is more of a feel at home.

80 years, Taiwan's fledgling tennis atmosphere. Among them, many of them because of 82 years, To 90 years, affected by Chang, more and more people playing tennis has become a fashion symbol.

However, she also observed that while many people play, but the real players participate in the competition, the strength of many in the West has lagged behind, no chance of competing abroad. She felt that, compared with the United States, Taiwan's athletes, but also needed her help. Later, Taiwan's WTA players Wengzai Ting, Wang Siting game began to go abroad, Hu Na are invited them to come home and live with them when they go on practice.

opportunity to come at this time, 93 years, Hu Na Ta Chang Foundation, and the Mediterranean Sea by the Taiwan International Centre for hire, as tennis consultant, as well as Star TV in Hong Kong as a global assessment.

Has been Naruwan, Brother Hotel and Sharp Foundation and other private companies,Discount UGG boots, institutional support, she has chosen a Bitan in Taipei County, a tennis club in operation. Chairman of the board, the renamed Hu Nabi Lake Tennis Club.

2000, when Hu Na said that Taiwan must have its own world tennis champion, no one would dare have such fantasies. That year, she picked 11,2 3-year-old girl, the club began to concentrate fully on her long-term. Among them, Chan Yung and then to Sydney at the WTA tournament in 2006 and 2007 Australian Open, won the doubles crown, runner-up, the Beijing Olympics, doubles and enter 16.



in Taiwan, Hu Na found a sense of belonging. (Picture)

from the first batch of young players get experience, in 2002, she went to Hualien elementary school children from a few hundred years, selected the three 8-year-old girl Ami, with train back to Taipei. She recalls that they have not even seen tennis. She is also looking for white children like Zhang, instead of the other coaches who have been affected, remained difficult to correct some of the habit of action. For Tanhua Juan, Sun Huiling, Yang Jiaxian, these 3 girls, Hu Na that in addition to good physical indigenous natural, 3 people have high athleticism, are also poor family, one of which children are orphans.

10 year plan begins. 3 girls, from the life, education, practice a ball game, game, responsible for all the Hu Na. Are currently second-year junior high school students, Hu Na said that they are very pure personality, like many indigenous children, has artistic talent, of particular interest in art, the best course is to sports scores, often on behalf of the school to participate in track and field competition. But mathematics, English is rather poor, so she let them tuition.

10-year-old began to participate in the competition in Taiwan this year in June, they also participated in national youth competitions in Beijing. Na Hu said the mainland competition, 14-year-old group of more than 100 participants. Three girls, one to Beijing, are acclimatized. And because it is the first time, there is no ranking, so outside the game from playing. Finally, in the repechage to reach the first two, be regarded as an experience, has been very good.

still single, Hu Na's relationship with the three girls, like friends, like family. Although the pay is not asking for anything, but Hu Na am glad I can give them some inspiration. When the Taiwanese media during their visit, they always say, going to be the same as the Hu Na aunt.

talk about challenges, said Hu Na, a good few years ago, Taiwan's economy, businesses are willing to sponsor the three kids to ball games. But in recent years, less sponsorship, so they rely on themselves. Fortunately, the girl's parents are with. We are most concerned about is how to help them play well together.



the next ten-year plan and Taiwan compared to other tennis clubs, tennis clubs Hu Na, including coaches, staff, members, students, more like a warm family. 10 years, Hu Na looked at many small members, all from the mother to play the first Tingzhaoduzi. Child was born, only a few months old to use the cart to play to the sidelines to see her mother. Children 2 years old, will run to the sidelines to play. Wait could get beat, and began to learn the ball.

held every year in various competitions, youth summer camps, winter camps, at present, including families, individuals, corporate bodies members and students, the club about 2 thousand. 12 coaches, including past national champion, and tennis national champion. In Taiwan, the players go out to competition, not easy to find sponsors. Coupled with a limited number of tennis clubs, many universities to teach part-time players want the ball, are not easy, the results actually work to the gas station. Hu Na that can help these players, she was very pleased.

things their own interest, is the most happy.

the game for three girls plan to obtain parental consent, she's planning is that if the fight occupation, 15 years old is the key. If these years are not being up play results difficult to interpret a dream after. But every day it takes too much time to the school, so after graduating from junior high school program so that they first concentrate on playing career a few years. Played out, to continue to fight. Do not come out to play, or you can go back to school. For example, she, like Graf, age 13 did not go to school. Michael Chang is 15 years after turning pro, there is no school. But in the meantime, she will ask the tutor to teach their high school curriculum. Taiwan's 10-year plan expires in 2012. Hu Na said the next 10 year plan is likely to expand in China. However, the training of Taiwan will not be interrupted, players can even cross-strait exchanges. Although that time, three girls have been 18 years old, but this does not mean the end of their tennis careers. She may also have another 10 years of planning, planting them to 28 years old.

Hu Na's sister and parents live in the Los Angeles suburb of Rowland Heights. In recent years, at least annually to accompany her parents to return to China to visit relatives once. For the preaching of the outside world, her early years in the U.S. to apply to China, but repeatedly rejected by the Government, said she would like to clarify: 93 years, parents to the United States shortly after her brother died in China from an accident. Family wants to without the knowledge of parents, so in the U.S. for many years, have not put things back to China. 2004, the parents or the know, wish to return to China, so it back with them.

comes back to China's development plans, Hu Na that a lot of talent in China, coupled with lower prices. Seedling selection in China, lower cost, but that does not mean that they will long stay in China for training. Basic training can be conducted in China, can be made if they are talented, you can send abroad earlier. If you are talented, but there was no money, you can refer to the Taiwan experience. Turned to private industry. WTA China in recent years, great achievements, has accelerated the popularity of tennis. Plus many friends have expressed interest, which gave her great confidence.

her analysis, in China, children have the playing field, by the State; But in Taiwan, by the parents; As for the United States and Europe, there are many youth training camps, and high levels of youth competition. Such as the United States Tennis Association, is a very profitable organization, sponsorship funds can be allocated to fight youth tournament at home and abroad. Even young players in Asia, as long as competition in the world, get good grades, can be incorporated into cultivation.

personal professional sports, China is now the system is still a challenge. Therefore, she wants to go, is the line outside the system, is a private support. As for support for athletes, future success will be how to feedback. She believes that as long as the pre-talk about good, should not be a problem.

living in Taipei County, Hu Na was not yet married, no object. She said, She relaxed, she says, br>
