[Saba Sports News] Recently, Danish badminton legend Kenneth Jonassen, the head coach of the Malaysian team, was asked about the lack of good results in August. He said he focuses more on guiding players to think independently, encouraging two-way communication, and not expecting immediate results. Instead, he emphasizes consistent effort every day. This coaching style helps Malaysian players develop a deeper sense of individual responsibility and tactical understanding, enabling them to make more flexible decisions on the court within a structured system. Jonathan himself has no regrets about his decision to coach in Malaysia. The editor believes that different countries have their own badminton cultures and training styles. Jonathan’s arrival from Denmark to Malaysia has promoted the exchange and integration of both badminton cultures. This not only helps Malaysia absorb Denmark’s advanced experience but also allows Jonathan to understand the strengths and characteristics of Malaysian badminton, achieving mutual benefits and contributing to the diversification of global badminton.
