Retired Taiwanese badminton ace Tai Tzu-ying said she would like to spend her time passing on her experience to the next generation of players, once she has rested from an intense career in the sport.Speaking at a promotional event on Friday, the former world No. 1 said mentoring young players is something she hopes to do in the future.“I hope to share my experience and skills with grassroots and elementary school players,” Tai said. “I want to give them another perspective and more options before they enter junior high school, while helping them learn how to adapt their training and competition strategies in different situations.”
