'''Abdul Rashid Mohd Sidek''' (born 8 July 1968) is a Malaysian former [[badminton]] player and [[Coach (sport)|coach]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=NewspaperSG - Terms and Conditions |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Page/beritaharian19920524-1.1.14?ST=1&AT=search&k=misbun%20sidek%20keluarga&QT=misbun,sidek,keluarga&oref=article |access-date=2023-02-21 |website=eresources.nlb.gov.sg |language=en-SG}}</ref>

== Personal life ==
He is the youngest of the famous five [[Sidek brothers]]. Rashid and his siblings gained exposure to badminton from their father, [[Sidek Abdullah Kamar|Mohd Sidek]], a former player turned coach. Under the guidance of their father, Rashid and the rest of his siblings were trained to be champions from an early age. Additionally, Rashid was also an alumnus of [[Victoria Institution]] from the 1981–1986 batch.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.viweb.freehosting.net/badminton.htm|title=Our Badminton Greats|website=www.viweb.freehosting.net|access-date=25 June 2016|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161027002728/http://www.viweb.freehosting.net/badminton.htm|archive-date=27 October 2016|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

== Career ==
After completing his [[Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia|Sijil Penilaian Menengah (SPM)]] exam, he was injected into the Project 1988/90 squad with the aim of regaining the [[Thomas Cup]]. In the 1990 Thomas Cup, Rashid played well but Malaysia lost the finals to China 1–4.

He won the [[Malaysia Open (badminton)|Malaysian Open]] title for three consecutive years in 1990, 1991, and 1992. As a result, he became known by many as “jaguh kampung” (literally, "local hero"). In the [[1992 Thomas Cup|Thomas Cup]] final in 1992, he beat [[Ardy Wiranata]] to give Malaysia the first point in a dramatic 3-2 win over rivals Indonesia - the first championship won by Malaysia in 25 years, and the last to this day.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://news.google.com.my/newspapers?id=qbgTAAAAIBAJ&sjid=SpADAAAAIBAJ&pg=4389,2586328&hl=en|title=New Straits Times - Google News Archive Search|website=news.google.com.my|access-date=25 June 2016}}</ref>

Over the next three years, Rashid's performance declined, but he bounced back in 1996, when he won the Asia Cup and [[German Open (badminton)|German Open]], then reached the finals of the [[1996 All England Open Badminton Championships|All England]] before losing to [[Poul-Erik Høyer Larsen|Paul-Erik Hoyer Larsen]] from Denmark. His ranking rose to among the top three in the world. He won the bronze medal at the [[Badminton at the 1996 Summer Olympics – Men's singles|1996 Atlanta Olympics]], beating the top seed, [[Joko Suprianto]] of Indonesia en route to the semi-finals, where he was beaten by [[Dong Jiong]]. However, he beat Indonesia's 1995 world champion, [[Heryanto Arbi]], 5-15, 15-11, 15-6 in the third place playoff.

In 1997, Rashid reached the top of the world ranking.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://nusa-mahsuri.com/b_rashid.htm|title=Biodata Rashid Sidek|website=nusa-mahsuri.com|access-date=25 June 2016}}</ref> He later began to make way for new generation players like [[Wong Choong Hann]], Yong Hock Kin and [[Roslin Hashim]].

He retired in 2000, when aged only 32, to make way for younger and new generation players.

== Coaching ==
Upon his retirement, Rashid was appointed as national coach by the [[Badminton Association of Malaysia]] from 2003 until 2015.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thestar.com.my/sport/badminton/2015/03/30/rashid-quits-bam|title=Badminton: Rashid sever ties with BAM {{!}} The Star Online|website=www.thestar.com.my|access-date=2020-03-23}}</ref> He became instrumental for the success of the new generation badminton players such as [[Liew Daren|Daren Liew]] and [[Chong Wei Feng]]. Apart from that, he was a coach for Nusa Mahsuri, the first professional badminton club in Malaysia from 1996 to 2002.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.malaysiakini.com/sukan/342929|title=Lebih 50 pemain berguru dengan anak-anak Sidek|date=2016-05-25|work=Malaysiakini|access-date=2018-07-11|language=ms-MY}}</ref> Currently, he acts as the advisor for the club which he had set up with his brother, Jalani.

He also became national para-badminton coach, serving as [[Cheah Liek Hou]]'s coach who won the first ever gold medal in para-badminton at 2020 Summer Paralympics in Tokyo.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nst.com.my/sports/badminton/2021/09/724450/bronze-winning-olympian-gold-standard-coach|title=From bronze-winning Olympian to gold-standard coach|publisher=NST|accessdate=5 September 2021|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20210905021124/https://www.nst.com.my/sports/badminton/2021/09/724450/bronze-winning-olympian-gold-standard-coach|archivedate=5 September 2021|url-status=dead}}</ref>
