KUCHING: Young taekwondo athletes in Sarawak are told to always be on their toes if they were to achieve greater success at the highest level.
Persatuan Taekwondo Negeri Sarawak (WTF) deputy president Azizul Annuar Adenan said up and coming athletes must set their benchmark to be on par with the best not only in the country but also in the world, in their pursuit for excellence.
“You (taekwondo athletes) must set your target and work hard to achieve them.
“Our technical team is ready to help, and the team in fact is putting in more efforts to raise the standard of our young potentials.
“The association has also engaged more experience and world class foreign coaches to assist our young athletes to achieve the best record,” he said during his visit to the Sarawak Sukma taekwondo (WTF) training centre here recently.
The state Sukma taekwondo (WTF) athletes had undergone their second phase of centralised training in preparation for Sukma.
About 50 selected athletes from throughout the state were called to undergo the centralised training in both Kyorugi and Poomsae events.
Accompanying Azizul during the visit were taekwondo (WTF) state technical Chairman Master Tan Check Joon and the association’s secretary general Hadysham Junaidi.
