Ahead of the Olympics, Coach asks Ginting and Jojo to take care of their condition

Jakarta, Beritasatu.com – Indonesia's men's singles badminton coach, Irwansyah, emphasized to his students to continue to pay attention to both their physical and mental conditions ahead of the 2024 Olympics in Paris. This is done through a series of more intensive exercises and special sessions.

According to Irwansyah, the Olympics are the main focus this year, but preparations for the event and afterwards are just as important. Athletes such as Jonatan Christie and Anthony Sinisuka Ginting, who are champions and finalists at the 2024 All England Open, are undergoing well-planned physical training, supported by sports science, to ensure accurate data and balance in training.

“More intensive training leading up to the Olympics includes measuring speed, muscle strength, as well as strategy and technique training. “This is important because playing on the field requires not only good technical abilities but also excellent physical endurance,” he said.

Apart from preparations for the Olympics, the Indonesian elite team will also compete in the 2024 Asian Badminton Championships in Ningbo, China, which is one of the final qualifying points for the Paris Olympics. They will also participate in the Thomas Cup and Uber Cup, held in China in the same month.

Irwansyah emphasized the importance of maintaining high motivation among athletes, especially when facing busy training schedules. Support from various parties, including psychologists, sports science and technical teams, is very helpful in maintaining the enthusiasm and focus of athletes.

With the discipline of hard work and professionalism possessed by the athletes, Irwansyah is confident that they can maintain their best performance and achieve success in every competition they participate in.
