Physically, Latif is not unlike most athletes. However, mentally, he has trouble keeping his focus. Speaking to Utusan Malaysia following his win at the recent SUKMA 2016 in Kuching, his coach, Mohd Syahrul Amri Suhaimi, elaborated, "The challenge with training Abdul Latif is making sure to give him more than 100% of my concentration because he experiences difficulty in staying focused."
