The 48-year-old Hendrawan has not only guided players to win titles but he knows how to help players rise from the ashes – he did it with Lee Chong Wei and he has done it again with Lee Zii Jia.
“Players deal with so many things, so I do my best to take away their pressures. I keep many things to myself and say only what the players need to hear. Zii Jia was given a show cause letter to buck up and fans hurled all kinds of hurtful criticism via social media.Fortunately, all the pep talk and encouragement from Hendrawan and several others in the team helped Zii Jia to come back with renewed determination to prove himself.
“I had to look into Chong Wei’s age and his training had to change. Instead of focusing on power and speed, we used a different approach to beat Kento. Zii Jia is a young player, so the way I deal with him is different. It’s all about building his confidence.” “I had been under pressure too from all corners. I’ve been a coach with Malaysia since July 2009. I’ve done my best with every batch of players I was given.
