Being fast-tracked too soon has cost Justin dearly, says his former coach


PETALING JAYA: Justin Hoh’s serious injury at a young age could have been prevented if he was not fast-tracked into the national senior squad too soon, says his former coach Datuk Misbun Sidek.

Justin, 19, came under Misbun’s guidance when he took over the national junior team in 2020 and the shuttler started showing marked improvement after switching from the boys’ doubles.
