After spending three weeks in the United States with nine girls from Hong Kong I feel like this trip has truly been the most important experience of my career. I speak about this eye opening experience being one of the first team in Asia to bring a girls team to play AAU against some of the highest level of competition in the States. Topics I go over include:

1.) My perspectives on what an Asian player needs to do if they have a dream of one day playing in the United States. I go into detail on what I think you will need in order to be successful at the higher levels.

2.) The cultural differences between Asian in American basketball and ways that we as Asians need to improve in order to play at the highest level.

3.) What needs to be done to narrow the gap, so the Asian athletes can reach their full potential on some of the biggest stages in the world.
