Badminton: BAM says yes to Rexy

THE BA of Malaysia (BAM) has approved Rexy Mainaky's request for Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong to have joint-training sessions with back-up pairs in order to help the senior combination improve their defence.
Rexy and back-up coach Tan Kim Her have agreed on twice a week sessions besides matchplay on Wednesday and Saturday.

The first session was held yesterday where Boon Heong had a one-hour session with Mak Hee Chun-Tan Wee Kiong and Goh Wei Shem-Lim Khim Wah.

Kim Her said it will be a long term arrangement as both groups of players will benefit from the training.
"The arrangement was to help Kien Keat and Boon Heong improve their defence while the back-up pairs will also improve by training with the top pair. It is a long term plan as it is going to help all the pairs in their preparation for the 2012 Olympics."

"Boon Heong had a one-hour session with Hee Chun-Wee Kiong and Wei Shem-Khim Wah who did the attacking. Kien Keat wasn't around but he will join the next session.

"I will not involve the younger back-up combinations as Kien Keat-Boon Heong will not benefit much from the training. Rexy and I have to constantly discuss so that the training sessions are fruitful and there is progress."

The joint-training is one of the ways Rexy feels Kien Keat-Boon Heong can rectify some of their weaknesses as Hee Chun-Wee Kiong and Wei Shem-Khim Wah are quite effective in their attacks.

The back-up pairs have also been struggling of late and getting quality training time with Kien Keat-Boon Heong is also expected to help them develop their overall performance.

Malaysian junior athletes are just too ‘lembik’

Saya setuju. We are working on more coaches! “ @ManOlimpik : Malaysian junior athletes are just too ‘lembik’ http://t.co/7D7wmHWaNy ” — Khairy Jamaluddin (@Khairykj) June 10, 2014 The benchmark. Can our junior athletes train as hard as Malaysia's world No.1 badminton player, Lee Chong Wei? “IT IS okay lah. The training is not too bad lah. I will try lah … Wah, so hard lah today.” These are some of the common statements I hear from our juniors nowadays. It is not only in badminton. It is the easy-going, laid-back attitude and lack of competitiveness at grassroots level that we have problems producing quality players. I have travelled quite a bit. After ending my decade-long career with the national team, I went to play in the league in Europe. It’s different there. The European athletes know what they want. And they do it with real focus. Even the young ones possess admirable self-control and show a high level of commitment. During my time in the ...

Organising Major Sports Events Can Inspire Sports Culture Among The People - Khairy

PUTRAJAYA, June 5 (Bernama) -- Organising major sports events can help inspire sports culture among the people and ensure a healthy lifestyle said Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin. Khairy said the Tour of Malaysia cycling race organised since 1963, for example, can encourage more people to take the sport in a more competitive way or just for recreation purposes. "A study carried out by a world renown medical journal, The Lancet, revealed that 61 percent of adults in Malaysia do not engage themselves in active sports. "A study by the Health Ministry revealed that only 25 percent of Malaysians exercise," he said in his speech when launching the 2013 Tour of Malaysia (Jelajah Malaysia) at the Youth and Sports Ministry, here, Wednesday. "Cycling, though not as popular here as in countries like Denmark, the activity is becoming popular among the people as can be seen through an increase in sale of bicycles for recreation," he sa...

KBS realistik

TERUJA...Shabery (dua dari kanan) melancarkan Logo Tahun Industri Sukan 2011-2012 di Casa 1, MSN, semalam. KETIKA beberapa sukan utama diletakkan sasaran meraih pingat khususnya emas di Sukan Olimpik 2012 London, penyertaan bola sepak dan hoki sebagai keluarga baru program Road To London pula dilihat sekadar membantu mereka melepasi kelayakan. Mungkin bersikap lebih realistik dengan keupayaan kedua-dua sukan itu di pentas lebih tinggi, Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek mahu segala bantuan diberikan kepada sejumlah 50 pemain bola sepak dan hoki kebangsaan bagi membolehkan mereka tersenarai sebagai kontinjen ke London. “Bagi acara hoki dan bola sepak, kita tidak boleh melihat bantuan perlu diberi selepas mereka layak tetapi kita akan cuba bantu mereka supaya mereka layak. “Tiada kompromi terhadap misi mendapatkan emas pertama tetapi sasaran kita tahun ini ialah mendapatkan seberapa ramai atlet ke Sukan Olimpik,” katanya selepas mempen...
