Four first-round exits in as many tournaments – this was how national badminton player Yeo Jia Min started her 2023 season of “ups and downs”. Her confidence plummeted and the 24-year-old’s ranking dropped from a career-high 16th to 35th.
The series of losses at the start of 2023 affected her mentally and she grappled with confidence issues.
“I had a lot of mental struggle every time I lost and it hurt for a certain period... There were a few things to reflect after every match, whether physically in terms of not being able to keep up with the opponent, or mentally in terms of not having enough confidence.” Yeo, who is Singapore’s highest-ranked female singles player, added: “I learnt that they are also human, and they still prepare the same way every match. They make mistakes but what’s different is the self-belief in themselves to overcome difficulties.”
