THE BA of Malaysia (BAM) has hired foreign coaches from all its top rivals for more than two replica rolex decades but the practice has yet to yield consistent success.
Li Mao has the distinction of coaching the best of China and South Korea's singles players but Lee Chong Wei has achieved more under local coach Misbun Sidek
It was the same for doubles legend Park Joo Bong who not only coached the Koreans but also worked with England players before being attached to the national doubles squad with little success
Li Mao and Joo Bong are known as coaches with strict regimes but Denmark's Morten Frost Hansen represented the professional approach of Europe but there was still a lack of results.
For sure, their coaching methods were not to blame but a conclusion one can reach is that they failed because they didn't understand Malaysian culture.
Having tried the foreign approach, BAM has now lured Tan Kim Her back and what is probably needed now is for more local coaches to learn the trade abroad and return home with experience and impart their knowledge to players in a truly Malaysian way.
Kim Her is the first badminton coach who was able to take that challenge after coaching the national back-up squad for six years until 2005.
He was bold enough to take up a job with the highly successful South Korean team led by Olympic champion Lee Yong Dae.
Among the coaching staff were former Olympic champions Ha Tae Kwon and Kim Dong Moon but they respected Kim Her as that's the Korean culture - respecting leaders irrespective of their status and position.
Kim Her then moved moved to England in 2007 and was a success again simply because he knew he could not impose the Korean style of training with the English players.
He now faces a new challenge as he must now be able to impart the experience he obtained in two extreme environments in order to help Malaysian doubles.
Ironically, lack of professionalism, discipline and hunger to succeed at the major events have been the glaring problems Human hair extensions faced by the national doubles players and this makes Kim Her's experience more valuable.
Being a Malaysian who experienced world class badminton as a player and started his coaching career here, Kim Her has an advantage.
Kim Her cannot impose the Korean method of training as it has already failed here and neither can he give the players too much freedom as Malaysians are not independent by nature.
Basically, Kim Her has to strike a balance between the methods imposed in Korea and England.
Being the most senior local coach after Misbun Sidek means he will command respect from the players and this is another plus point from which Kim Her can take advantage in order to change the mindsets of the players.
Although Kim Her was specifically brought in to change the fortunes of inconsistent senior pairs Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong and Zakry Latif-Fairuzizuan Tazari, he will begin with the back-up players and this is a blessing in disguise for him.
His work with the back-up pairs should create confidence in the top pairs who will definitely work hard to achieve higher goals once Kim Her takes over the elite squad.
