PBSI uses motivational trainer for juniors<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): In a bid to improve the performance of its
\njunior players, the Badminton Association of Indonesia (PBSI) has
\ninvited a motivational trainer in to encourage younger shuttlers
\nahead of international tournaments.<\/p>\n
The PBSI official in charge of athletes development, Mangombar
\nFerdinand Siregar, said on Thursday PBSI invited Andrie Wongso to
\nprovide input to the association on how to increase the juniors'
\nmotivation.<\/p>\n
\"It's not wrong to listen to another person's opinion on what
\nthey think of PBSI,\" he said.<\/p>\n
Siregar said some senior shuttlers had also visited Andrie for
\ninspiration ahead of important events, including the Thomas Cup.<\/p>\n
Andrie, owner of the Action and Wisdom motivation training
\ncenter, said his Thursday encounter with the young athletes was
\nonly the start of improving the PBSI training method.<\/p>\n
\"This is a brainwashing process. Not all of the shuttlers can
\nunderstand what their motivation is to become a shuttler. We know
\nthat non-technical factors really influences a shuttler's
\nperformance on court,\" said Andrie, who also owns the Harvest
\ncard factory.<\/p>\n
Andrie told the junior players they needed 100 percent self-
\nconfidence to attain their goals.<\/p>\n
\"Without 100 percent self-confidence, you won't be a champion.
\nYou must all focus your attention on one purpose: to be a
\nwinner,\" he said.<\/p>\n
The 19 juniors were admitted to the National Training Center
\nin Cipayung, East Jakarta, after several selections late last
\nyear and early this year. They include men's singles Vidre Wibowo
\nand Arief Rasidi, women's singles Mona Santoso and Enny Erlangga
\nand the men's doubles twin team of Donny Prasetyo and Denny
\nSetiawan.<\/p>\n
Top officials from the association did not attend the session.
\nPresent were men's singles coach Agus Dwi Santoso, women's
\nsingles assistant coach Khoo Mei Hwa and official in charge of
\nthe juniors Sumar.<\/p>\n
Andrie expressed hope that PBSI could create conditions where
\nshuttlers could feel they were highly motivated for training
\nsessions and competitions.<\/p>\n
Siregar said he hoped the juniors would become more successful
\nin reaching their targets after 2001, and would arrange a similar
\nsession for all coaches and senior shuttlers in the near future.
