THE BADGE CHRONICLES
“‘Every Badge has a Story!’ In 2006 I started working as a consultant/coach to Adidas (pictures are always reused each year I forgot the Nike cap) together with Adidas the Adidas player development program was created. A program that was a service to Adidas contracted players for interim coaching, player development and scouting. Paradorn was one of the early adopters. One of the nicest guys on tour and one of the greatest athletes to ever play the game. A top ten player from Thailand with an incredible power game!”
