Herry joined the National Board of the Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) since 1993. The badminton trainer initially handled the Pratama National squad of Indonesia of the upcoming talents. Starting in 1999 he became the main trainer and coach for men's doubles at the National training center Pelatnas Cipayung, taking over from Christian Hadinata who became the Director of National Pelatnas of PBSI. When he started his job as a coach at the National training office, Herry was still a PB Tangkas club coach. But then he decided to let go his club ties to choose the status as a free independent coach with no conflicts of interest. In fact, Herry was not even worried when he was cut off from the National Board of PBSI in 2007. At that time, the male doubles coaching was entrusted to Sigit Pamungkas. Without responsibilities at the National training center until 2011, Herry chose his time for activities outside of badminton. He spent most of his time with his hobby of bird chirping and aviary business.
