Herry Uses Video Analysis To Prepare Doubles Pairs For 2025 World Championships

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 19 (Bernama) -- National men's doubles head coach Herry Iman Pierngadi has made video analysis a key approach to fine-tune his charges’ strategy for the 2025 Badminton Championship in Paris set to begin on Aug 25.

The approach helps to identify not only the strengths and weaknesses of opponents but also areas where his players can improve before stepping onto the court, he said.

"I usually use video analysis to discuss our game plan against opponents with the players, and from this discussion, we can identify which aspects need improvement. This process helps us uncover minor differences that can be crucial for achieving victory on match day.

"We cannot rely on outdated analysis, as players can improve through training, therefore, we need to focus on the most recent data, such as the results from the Japan Open and China Open held last month," he said during a training session at the Akedemi Badminton Malaysia (ABM) in Bukit Kiara today.

Malaysia will field its largest contingent of pairs, featuring four men's doubles teams: Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik, Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun, Wan Arif Wan Junaidi-Yap Roy King, and professional pair Goh Sze Fei -Nur Izzuddin Rumsani at the upcoming 2025 Badminton Championship.

Herry also had hopes that world number seven pair Wei Chong-Kai Wun could get past the quarter-final stage, to set a potential match against the world's top-ranked South Korean pair, Kim Won Ho-Seung Jae, after their quarter-final exit at the recent Japan Open.

The Indonesian-born coach also said that the national squad's preparations were disrupted following Wan Arif's bout of fever, but said Arif's condition is now recovering.
