He added that he took every criticism as a lesson and accepted it with an open heart.
“It was never my intention to hurt anyone. I only did that to raise their spirits and to motivate them.
“I apologized to the players, especially the two players involved, and their parents,” the coach said, as reported by Sinar Harian.
On January 1st, the Malaysia Volleyball Association (MAVA) suspended the Melaka U-14 girls’ volleyball coach who was caught on video slapping two of his players.
In a statement, MAVA said it would investigate the incident which took place in December, as reported by Free Malaysia Today?
What do you guys think of his apology? Should he get a second chance?
