Mantapkan mental Chong Wei: Tengku Kamil

KEKUATAN mental perlu diberi penekanan jaguh badminton negara, Datuk Lee Chong Wei jika mahu memenangi pingat emas Sukan Olimpik London tahun depan.
Timbalan Presiden Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM), Tengku Kamil Ismail Tengku Idris Shah, berkata berdasarkan prestasi semasa, Chong Wei dilihat tidak menghadapi masalah besar terutama dari segi kecergasan fizikal.

Namun, menurutnya, kekuatan mental dilihat menjadi halangan utamanya meraih kejayaan terutama membabitkan pertemuan dengan jaguh dunia, Lin Dan dari China.
“Pada pandangan peribadi saya, Chong Wei bukan saja perlu memberi tumpuan dari segi kecergasan fizikal tetapi mental harus diberi keutamaan jika mahu mencipta kejayaan besar terutama di pentas Sukan Olimpik.

“Jika dia (Chong Wei) dapat menanganinya, saya percaya pemain badminton seperti Lin Dan mampu ditewaskan,” katanya semalam.

Tengku Kamil Ismail berkata demikian ketika mengulas kegagalan Chong Wei menewaskan Lin Dan pada separuh akhir Terbuka China dan Terbuka Hong Kong baru-baru ini.

Kekalahan itu menyaksikan Chong Wei masih gagal menundukkan musuh ketatnya itu yang jelas sukar dijinakkan, sekaligus memberi petanda awal bahawa jaguh China itu bakal mempertahankan pingas emas seperti yang dilakukan pada Sukan Olimpik Beijing 2008.

Bagi memastikan prestasi Chong Wei berada pada tahap terbaik, menurut Tengku Kamil Ismail, dia diharap hanya memberi tumpuan pada kejohanan besar seperti Super Siri sahaja.
“Dengan memberi tumpuan pada kejohanan lebih berprestij, tempoh rehat Chong Wei lebih panjang berbanding jika dia menyertai semua kejohanan.

“Bagi saya, dia perlu memberi tumpuan pada kejohanan Super Siri. Saya harap kejohanan terdekat yang seharusnya menjadi tumpuan adalah Terbuka Korea dan Terbuka Malaysia Januari depan,” katanya.

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...

Badminton: Fans rooting for all-Malaysian semis

Reports: RAJES PAUL KUALA LUMPUR: The home fans will be rooting for an all-Malaysian men’s singles semi-final between Lee Chong Wei and Liew Daren. But Chong Wei is more fancied to advance than Daren in quarter-final matches against Indonesian Simon Santoso and Dane Peter Gade-Christensen respectively at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil today. Yesterday, Chong Wei defeated Vietnamese Nguyen Tien Minh 21-9, 18-21, 21-7 in a second-round match that saw the world number one struggling to adapt to the draught in the stadium in the second game. And Daren continued a fairy tale run in his home Open, blowing away a toothless Hsueh Hsuan-yi of Taiwan 21-14, 21-12. Although Choong Wei had to slog for the win over Tien Minh, the top seed and defending champion felt that he was playing better by the day. “I got off to a good start but found it hard to cope with the draught. I tried to catch up after losing my momentum but that did not happen and I decided to conserve energy for ...
