Daren carries on as Zii Jia’s part-time coach, but will he turn full-time?


Fit for double duty: Player-coach Daren says handling Zii Jia is not a challenge – the challenge is to find ways on how to maintain his consistency.

PETALING JAYA: Liew Daren has learnt much from his stint as a part-time coach for Lee Zii Jia.

Since the start of this year, Daren has been playing dual roles as a player and a coach for the world No. 4 but there have not been any immediate results on the badminton court for both but the former has certainly gained loads of experience.
