Canadian vs Danish Juniors

So I have been quite busy training in a national training camp. And I decided to make a quick post about an observation I have made that is quite interesting to me.
 This training camp is being run by a former top Danish doubles player, and this year he decided to bring along a couple of Danish juniors with him to experience Canada and Canadian badminton. These juniors are quite good and one of them is the top U13 in Denmark right now. I watched them closely and made a couple of observations.
 The young Danish U13 #1, (We'll call him player 1) is obviously very good for his age. BUT he is not far above the top Canadian juniors that are the same age as him. I even witnessed player 1 lose several times to a couple of top Canadian U13 players.
 So, if this is true, how come the Denmark internationals can destroy the Canadian internationals? and why are there many more top level competitive players in Denmark?
 The only answer is motivation in the form of money. The Canadian U13s will likely stop playing after their junior careers are over, simply because they need to go to some sort of post secondary, get a job, and start their lives. While it is likely the top Danish U13 will stay in the top group all through juniors and try to be a top international player because he can make money doing it. He can acquire many more sponsorships for badminton in Denmark than anyone in Canada can. He could still go to post secondary, and support himself by playing on a club team or coaching younger players. Canadians have no option of a club team and very little opportunities to coach for a lot of money.
 So unfortunately the only way to match the current international level of badminton, is for more companies to throw more money at the sport, and increase the popularity.
 But the good news is that we aren't that far off in the younger categories (U13,U15) so hopefully we will still be able to catch up sometime...
