Eng Hian Women's Doubles coach

Extraordinary Athlete

Eng Hian helped Greysia and Apriyani win gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics, whatever type of sport they studied, always accompanied by an extraordinary coach. In the long history of the Olympics, there has never been an extraordinary athlete who won a gold medal without being accompanied by a coach.

Finally, the presence of a coach becomes very important for athletes. Coaches (in universal language called coaches) first arrived at the sports area.

In the last two decades, the idea of ​​coaching has been carried over to the business realm. Even for the leadership framework, coaching is the mantra most discussed and implemented.

Coaching tactics with various schools of thought, ideas and tools are applicable to several leaders, whatever their level of position.

Eng Hian led Greysia and Apriyani to win gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics. Leadership as a coach is one of the specific performance measures of a leader. Why so?

Because, to borrow a sports idiom, extraordinary children always have extraordinary coaches. Productive subordinates are the result of the patience of the leader as the trainer.

Requirements to Become a Trainer

Robby Djohan, whose actions as business leader deserve to be recorded in gold ink. From his patience as a trainer, several experts were born finance in Indonesia, for example Agus Martowardoyo, Peter Stock and Arwin Rasyid.

Even the property king from Indonesia whose property business is soaring in Australia, Iwan Sunito, admitted that Robby Djohan is his coach.

"When I was at the crossroads of starting a business, I always visited Mr. Robby. I lack some knowledge from him, especially the knowledge of taking care of humans.

"He ordered me to study Blue Ocean Strategy so that my business would be different from competitors," said Iwan Sunito, as taken from his autobiographical book, Without Borders.

The success of Robby Djohan and several other leaders as coaches in improving their subordinates (coachees) is due to implementing the five concepts called "TRUST."

The first concept of T is short for "put". This means that when a leader acts as a coach, he places the status of the leader on the status of his subordinates. That's what is said with empathy.

The understanding of coaching itself is to help and encourage subordinates to become more skilled, patient, efficient and effective at work.

Coaches help subordinates realize their invisible strengths (talents, character) so that they become visible in the form of attitudes, skills and performance.

To change strength into realness, the trainer's empathy becomes the basis for collaborating with subordinates. Coaches feel and adapt to what their subordinates feel and feel.

Interested as the second concept and an extension of R. If subordinates have self-esteem and hope. Eng Hian led Greysia and Apriyani to win gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics.

Therefore, treat your subordinates as mature and characterful individuals. At the age of 19, initially paired with Greysia, Apriyani won the Thailand Open.

Eng Hian said that he had the responsibility to look after Apriyani as a rising young star. “Many colleagues invite me to meet, even during training. I also have to try to look after Apriyani. "If not, there will be many problems that will make him undisciplined," explained Eng Hian. (Kompas, 3/8/2021).

Interested, the next key is for Eng Hian to accompany Apriyani. So it is normal that while competing at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Apriyani only answered briefly "Ready!" or “Yes!” when he received orders from Eng Hian from the edge of the field.

The interest in what Eng Hian had done spread within Apriyani, who had a strong interest in her coach.

3rd pillar, letter U, sums up “reveal.” The coaching process exists for two reasons: (1) anticipating the future, (2) filling the gap in skills needed with the skills possessed by subordinates.

To fill the skills gap, the coach must express the problems that the subordinates encounter. For example, in the first semester of the target that has been set, apparently the subordinates were only able to achieve 75%.

To cover the 25 percent of targets that have not been realized while also meeting 100 percent of the targets for the following semester, subordinates need to sharpen their skills or learn new skills. Expressing what evidence there is provides clear standards for subordinates to act and take action. 4th pillar, exit.

As an extension of the letter S. Coaching is different from discussion. In the discussion process, the counselor will give him ideas, tools and tactics and the subordinates just have to do what the counselor formulates.

The relationship is like a doctor and a patient. The coaching process is about changing strengths into real ones. Concentrate on skills that can be explored and improved.

Coaches are innovative partners for subordinates. Therefore, the solution to the problems encountered by the subordinates is formulated by the subordinates themselves. The role of the coach is more like an accompanist, partner and motivator. The letter T as the 5th pillar as a summary of get.

The responsibility of the leader is to find the best strengths from the subordinates and together to realize the skills and abilities of the subordinates. Eng Hian's accuracy in covering Greysia's shortcomings and showing her strengths is a service step.

For doubles play, service is usually done with the backhand. This is Greysia's weakness. With Eng Hian's polish, Greysia replaced the serve with a forehand.

This forehand service move is unnatural. Apparently that was Greysia's ability. Finding the strengths of your subordinates and polishing them into abilities is a pillar that a coach must have. Eng Hian run it with the plenary.

The results were brilliant, Greysia and Apriyani wrote history as the first Indonesian women's doubles to win gold Olympic Tokyo 2020.
