Cheonan, Korea - With entering into the new year, the 1^st Intensive Training Program for Asian University Sport Leaders proceeded into the second half.

On Jan. 1st, 2016, the first lecture started with Presentation Skills for International Sport Events from Professor Peter Wonjae CHOI from Dankook University, who was also the designer of AUSF logo. He showed the audience with Steven Jobs' Stanford Commencement Speech to demonstrate the 3 steps of presentation, which are planning, designing and presenting. In the end, he showed the video clips on how AUSF logo was designed. In his opinion, simplism is the best way to design.

In the afternoon, participants enjoyed an eye feast of traditional Korean sport: taekwondo. The taekwondo demo team from Dankook University staged a wonderful performance and won long-lasting pauses from the audience. Mr. Seung-Tae JIN, the taekwondo coach from Dankook University made teams by combining the audience and the demo player. The participants learned and practiced.
