Struggling Jun Hao and Justin get advice from their former master
KUALA LUMPUR: There are no shortcuts to becoming a world-class player, and men's singles Leong Jun Hao and Justin Hoh must work harder to reach the highest level, said their former coach Datuk Misbun Sidek.
KUALA LUMPUR: Former coach Datuk Misbun Sidek has advised struggling world No. 31 Leong Jun Hao and world No. 45 Justin Hoh that they need to work harder to reach the highest level. Misbun, who coached both players in their development years, believes they already possess the skills to compete at the top level but require more intensive training.
He stated that if they receive sufficient training, their performance will inevitably improve. Misbun expressed concern over the current state of the national men's singles players, acknowledging that while they have the ability to play, there are several issues in their game that need addressing. Jun Hao will participate in his second Asian Games, set to take place from September 19 to October 4, while Justin will make his debut at the event.
