Kevin Sentil Mental Badminton Who Easily Give Up

JAKARTA The former men's doubles specialist, Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo, poked at badminton players who easily gave up. This has an impact on Indonesia's decline in achievements.

The badminton player who once occupied world number one with Marcus Fernaldi Gideon observed that currently there are some players who do not have a steel mentality when facing pressure in the match.

"If I see, now when they are depressed and so on, they easily give up."

"They don't want to try first. In fact, there is still a chance before the game is over," he said.

Kevin explained that the motivation not to lose in a competitive match must have been accustomed to all players since training.

He said that if such a mentality had been formed, it would automatically be carried into the tournament so that in a stressful situation, players would not easily waver.

"Personal experience, several times you have been far behind, but as long as you are still trying, there is always a way," said the player who was active in a pair with Marcus Fernaldi Gideon.

Indonesia's badminton achievements are currently slumping. Even though it has been in the middle of the year, Indonesia's representatives have only secured two Super 300 titles from the 2025 BWF World Tour events.

The two titles were obtained by Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti/Lanny Tria Mayasari at Thailand Masters and Jafar Hidayatullah/Felisha Alberta Nathaniel Pasaribu at Taipei Open.
