Tiga sukan elit tanpa jurulatih tahap 3

KETIKA Kementerian Belia dan Sukan meletakkan sasaran sekurang-kurangnya satu emas di Olimpik London 2012, persoalan timbul terhadap persiapan memburu kejayaan itu apabila terdedah sukan terbabit - badminton, memanah, berbasikal - tidak mempunyai jurulatih tahap tiga.

Sijil Kejurulatihan Tahap 3 Kebangsaan, adalah pengiktirafan tertinggi bagi seseorang jurulatih di negara ini dan mereka yang mempunyai sijil ini dianggap sudah pun memiliki cukup pendedahan dan ilmu berkaitan kejurulatihan termasuk sains sukan.

Berita Harian difahamkan, ketika ini hanya enam jurulatih tahap tiga, berkhidmat dengan Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN), namun tidak seorang pun daripada keenam-enam jurulatih ini termasuk dalam kelompok tiga sukan yang menjadi sasaran KBS itu.


Sejak Lembaga Kejurulatihan Kebangsaan (LKK) ditubuhkan pada 1987, sudah ada 279 jurulatih tahap tiga namun, kebanyakan mereka tidak terbabit sepenuh masa melatih atlit berprestasi tinggi.

Ketua Pengarah MSN, Datuk Zolkples Embong (gambar) , mengakui betapa tahap jurulatih negara perlu ditingkatkan terutama membabitkan kualiti jurulatih itu sendiri andai sasaran melahirkan atlit bertaraf dunia mahu dicapai.

“Saya tidak pasti berapa ramai yang mempunyai sijil kejurulatihan tahap tiga yang terbabit melatih tiga sukan utama ini. Namun kita akan berusaha memastikan semua jurulatih yang bernaung di bawah MSN akan memiliki sijil tahap tiga selain sijil kejurulatihan sukan khusus.

“MSN juga dalam perancangan bagi melahirkan bukan saja atlit bertaraf dunia tetapi jurulatih bertaraf dunia dan mereka mampu dieksport untuk melatih negara lain. Kalau boleh kita mahu melahirkan lebih ramai jurulatih seperti Terry Walsh yang mempunyai segala ramuan mencukupi untuk melatih pasukan negara,” katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian selepas majlis perasmian Konvensyen Instruktur Sains Sukan dan Bengkel Latihan untuk Jurulatih di ibu negara semalam. Bengkel berkenaan dirasmikan Timbalan Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Wee Jeck Seng yang mewakili Menterinya, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

Sementara itu, Pengerusi LKK, Dr Ahmad Muner Che Muhammad, berkata matlamat lembaga itu bukan mahu melihat kepada kuantiti tetapi kualiti jurulatih itu kerana menyedari betapa walaupun tiga sukan terbabit tidak mempunyai jurulatih tahap tiga, mereka masih mampu melahirkan atlit bertaraf dunia.

Ex-coach's jail sentence cut to a year

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal yesterday sentenced former athletics coach C. Ramanathan to 12 months' jail for molesting two junior athletes 19 years ago. A three-man bench led by Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus unanimously dismissed Ramanathan's appeal against conviction, but varied the jail sentence of four years to a year, which was to run concurrently. Following yesterday's ruling, Ramanathan, 75, a former teacher, walked out a free man as he had served 10 months in Kajang Prison. Convicts get one-third remission for good behaviour while in prison. However, he will lose his pension. Hishamudin, who sat with Datuk Abdul Wahab Patail and Datuk Linton Albert, said the court found no merit to overturn the conviction. "However, in reducing the sentence, we considered Ramanathan's age and the long years the appeal has taken." Deputy public prosecutor Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud submitted that then High Court judge Tan Sri Abdull Hamid E...

Badminton: Fans rooting for all-Malaysian semis

Reports: RAJES PAUL KUALA LUMPUR: The home fans will be rooting for an all-Malaysian men’s singles semi-final between Lee Chong Wei and Liew Daren. But Chong Wei is more fancied to advance than Daren in quarter-final matches against Indonesian Simon Santoso and Dane Peter Gade-Christensen respectively at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil today. Yesterday, Chong Wei defeated Vietnamese Nguyen Tien Minh 21-9, 18-21, 21-7 in a second-round match that saw the world number one struggling to adapt to the draught in the stadium in the second game. And Daren continued a fairy tale run in his home Open, blowing away a toothless Hsueh Hsuan-yi of Taiwan 21-14, 21-12. Although Choong Wei had to slog for the win over Tien Minh, the top seed and defending champion felt that he was playing better by the day. “I got off to a good start but found it hard to cope with the draught. I tried to catch up after losing my momentum but that did not happen and I decided to conserve energy for ...

Rajagobal Let Off The Hook

PETALING JAYA, April 24 (Bernama) -- National head coach Datuk K. Rajagobal was let off the hook by the Football Association of Malaysia's (FAM) Disciplinary Committee after finding no evidence that he had violated FAM's Article 88, as claimed. FAM Disciplinary Committee chairman Datuk Taufik Abdul Razak said the committee had decided not to charge Rajagobal after carefully analysing the video of the post-match press conference by the 56-year-old coach. "After listening to the recording of the post-match press conference, we decided to drop the charge against Rajagopal as he did not make such a statement. "Maybe his (Rajagobal) assessment and comments of the match was misconstrued by the media. There was no mention of the FAM policy throughout his comments," said Taufik after emerging from a three-hour Disciplinary Committee meeting at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya, here, Wednesday. Rajagobal who does not mince his words when asked to com...
