PETALING JAYA: Adapting to a new role as a coach at a young age can be daunting for many athletes, but Chang Yee Jun (pic) is not one of them.
The 22-year-old Yee Jun was one of the shuttlers dropped by the Badminton Association of Malaysia in their trimming exercise to achieve better results this year and ensure that players do not stagnate.
Yee Jun has decided to take up a new duty as a full-time coach at the CPS Badminton Academy and he is looking forward to grooming more young talents. “I returned to my hometown in Perlis to rest and that’s when CPS approached me with an offer to become one of their coaches. “I was reluctant at first as I wouldn’t have the opportunity to compete anymore, but there’s no other choice and I couldn’t stay as a shuttler forever.Yee Jun, who joined the senior squad five years ago, admitted that he was sad when he was dropped and it took him some time to adjust to his new daily routines.
