KUALA LUMPUR: Every defeat is a lesson on the road to becoming a champion, and Datuk Seri Lee Chong Wei wants Malaysian shuttlers to remember that when results do not go their way.
The former world No. 1 urged national players to keep believing in themselves despite setbacks, drawing on his own painful defeats to remind them that success takes time and perseverance.
"To all Malaysian players competing this week, whether you win or lose, never lose confidence," said Chong Wei in a post on his Facebook page.
"I have experienced painful defeats myself. But believe me, every match, every challenge and every defeat is part of the journey towards becoming a champion."
