KUALA LUMPUR: It has been practised in the private sector for sometime and the Prime Minister has implemented it for all Cabinet ministers.
Now the national badminton set-up will be evaluated by the Key Performance Indicator (KPI).
The Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) secretary Ng Chin Chai said the coaching and training committee have approved the move to measure the performances of the players and coaches using the KPI.
“We are coming out with a more objective way of evaluating their progress.
“It is not just for the elite players but the back-up players will also have their own KPI.
“The back-up players do not necessarily have to win the smaller tournaments but they must fulfill certain criteria, for example, maybe to reach at least two quarter-finals out of the five they compete in.
“At the end of the year, every player under a particular coach must get certain percentages. The coaches will evaluate their players.
“We, in turn, will use that to measure the performance of the coaches. The coaches will inform the players the tournaments they are going to for the entire year from now.”
Previously, assessment was done based on the reports submitted by the coaches.
The elite shuttlers will play in 14 tournaments this year while the back-up shuttlers can look forward to participation in eight to 12 events.
However, Chin Chai said players can be stopped from going to tournaments if they suffered a drop in form or do not show commitment in training.
The coaching and training committee also decided that there is no need to promote any of the back-up players to the elite squad to fill the vacancy left by Hafiz Hashim as the new structure allows the coaches a longer period to see results.
Reigning Malaysia Games (Sukma) champion Mohd Arif Latif, who reached the recent National Circuit Grand Prix Finals in Terengganu, was in the running to claim the spot after high performance director Datuk James Selvaraj had proposed the matter but it was felt that it was too early to make changes to the set-up.
The elite and back-up players are currently getting ready for three back-to-back tournaments in Europe – the German Open next week followed by the All-England Open from March 8-13. Only the back-up players will be involved in the Swiss Open from March 15-20.
