Malaysia n shuttler Lee Chong Wei shared on Facebook a funny anecdote while rallying support for his countrymen competing at the 2024 Paris Olympics .
The 41-year-old, who retired in 2019 after a career that included three Olympic silver medals, encouraged Malaysians to never stop cheering for Team Malaysia to bring home the country's first gold. Malaysia sent a contingent of 26 athletes to participate in this year's Olympics across 11 sports, including diving, sailing, swimming and badminton.While he advised the athletes not to be nervous, he acknowledged that it is impossible not to be.
"When I competed in my first Olympics, even when I faced Ng Wei from Hong Kong, my hands trembled with nervousness," he recounted.When his coach noticed how anxious he was, he called for a psychologist to calm him down. The man took his hand and gave Lee a motivational speech:"Jason, don't be nervous, I know it's your first time. Strengthen your mental and emotional state and don't be nervous.""Hey, bro, my name isn't Jason," Lee told the man tasked to calm his nerves."This is the first time I've been a psychologist for such a big event, so before I motivate you, I have to motivate myself first.
