@labiebsadat @galeri_futsal Masuk akal kok mas, di 2022 kita unlucky aja. Pondasinya cuma bener” di sempurnakan oleh coach Souto aja. Squad skrg sudah jauh lebih dewasa dan matang. Disciplined minds, no noice, they just came to fight 🔥

Guillermo got #Seahawks QB Sam Darnold to wear a ham hat, then had the crowd cheering “Ham for Sam!” afterward. 😭

@firzieidris Dion loan atau tebus kontrak tuh?

[Michael James @MichaelJamesK]

Kalau mau compete dan player pool kita besar Top priority dan second harus coba dirayu semua.

Team U-23 kmrn agak kurang banget, nggak tau chemistrynya atau emang segitu aja levelnya. Karena yang U-23 kmrn ini menarik 3 pelatih (STY AFF, Gerald AFC dan AFF juga IS di Sea-Games) yang pegang dan kurang perform semua. Jadi akan ada gap itu di U-23 kmrn untuk senior. Kalau memang Target di WC 2030 😊

@RockyPadila @YouTube 2 asing + 1 heritage atau kalau mau 3 asing tetep 2 yg di lapangan.

Successful athletes are, by definition, supremely fit individuals. The display of mental fortitude and athletic ability while battling for supremacy in the sporting arena means we tend to place them on a pedestal, believing they are mentally and physically superior to the rest of us mere mortals.

But while that image helps cultivate the revered star status, it clouds our expectations and conceals the stark reality that every athlete is also a human being with the same frailties and vulnerabilities as the rest of us.

Not only do athletes suffer more injuries than the average person as they continually test their physical capabilities, but when they can’t train or compete due to injury, their whole purpose and identity as an athlete is compromised, which is mentally extremely challenging.

A little over a year ago at the #WorldTourFinals, while Lee Zii Jia was playing some of his best #badminton, he suffered a debilitating ankle injury. Since then, he’s made 2 aborted attempts at return to competition, playing just 7 matches throughout the whole of 2025.

This week the #Olympic Bronze medallist returns to competition at the #MalaysiaOpen2026. And after so long out with injury, the return certainly won’t be easy, not least due to the mental torment every athlete endures while unable to compete.

I also know from bitter experience, after several surgeries following ruptured ACLs in both knees, the expectations from others to immediately perform as you did before the injury is both a heavy burden and totally unrealistic.

So, whilst I, like most badminton fans, eagerly anticipate Lee’s return, we should also be mindful that we need to help and encourage any athlete in their valiant return from injury, not chastise and criticise. We need to understand the universal struggles of every human being in overcoming adversity. Returning athletes deserve both compassion and admiration for the courage and perseverance to keep fighting while on the seemingly relentless road to rehabilitation.

And above all we need to understand and be sympathetic to the fact the mental pain endured during recovery is often greater than the physical pain of the injury itself.
