00:00Perak vs Persekutuan
00:07The Persekutuan's 30 years of glory without a gold medal is a shocking achievement
00:15because they defeated their nearest rival, Perak,
00:18which is represented by some of the youngest players
00:21such as Shi Homi and Mitsuki Leong in a team event.
00:24The training session has started since the end of the last edition
00:30and I hope the efforts will continue to dominate the next edition.
00:40I think this year we have a mixture of senior and junior players.
00:46It was a very risky strategy,
00:51but as a head coach, I do believe it's not just about winning this competition,
00:57but we do want to have a feeder program,
01:00so we can always produce players and maintain and get better in the result.
01:08The competition is definitely very tough.
01:12I mean, Sukma is like once in two years,
01:15so it's a very tough competition.
01:17The pressure is very high.
01:18You could see some players who normally finish 2-3 weeks,
01:23competing 2-3 weeks, 4 weeks non-stop,
01:25but after one week, you could see they are mentally exhausted
01:30because of the pressure, the expectation from the team,
01:33from their association, parents and all that, from the coaches' expectations.
01:40So it's mentally a bit tough for them.
