The athlete born in 1998 had a very good academic record in high school, so his family expected him to continue his education to stabilize his career. When Duc Phat shared with his family his desire to play professional sports, his paternal and maternal families and even his mother expressed their disapproval.
For Le Duc Phat, deciding to play sports is quite risky. If you were like other friends and followed the path of studies, you might have a stable job or career. It seems that the future in the educational path is also safer than in sports.

However, if you look at it overall, it is beneficial for players because they will experience and compete in more arenas.
According to Duc Phat, funding to participate in international tournaments is limited. However, badminton players also have many opportunities to compete. To save costs, competing alone will help players attend more international tournaments. Although I know that having an extra coach with me would be great, then the cost of participating in a tournament would increase. This story not only happens to Vietnamese athletes, but also to many European and American athletes who choose to compete alone.
