Transformasi skuad sepak takraw


Skuad sepak takraw negara memasuki fasa baru dalam latihan harian selepas mengadakan kerjasama erat dengan Majlis Sukan Negara.

KUALA LUMPUR - Skuad sepak takraw negara bakal melalui satu proses tranformasi dalam usaha memantapkan kembali pasukan tersebut yang mengalami kemerosotan prestasi di pentas antarabangsa beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini.
Ketua Pengarah Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN), Datuk Zolkples Embong berkata, perubahan yang dilakukan itu ialah melibatkan aspek fizikal, mental dan spiritual yang kali ini lebih diberi penekanan selain menyerahkan kepercayaan penuh kepada jurulatih untuk membentuk skuad yang mantap.

''Selain aspek fizikal, mental dan spiritual, kita juga mengambil kira program sains sukan yang perlu dijalani para pemain.

''Harap ia akan membawa satu perubahan yang baru kepada sukan sepak takraw kerana dulu kita tidak campur sangat dengan sesi latihan skuad negara dan sekarang ini Persatuan Sepak Takraw Malaysia (PSM) lebih terbuka serta bersedia untuk menjalinkan kerjasama lebih erat dengan MSN,'' katanya ketika dihubungi Utusan Malaysia di sini, semalam.


Skuad sepak takraw menerima tamparan hebat apabila kerap dikritik ekoran prestasi buruk yang dipamerkan dan episod duka itu berterusan setelah Malaysia tidak lagi digeruni lawan di pentas antarabangsa.
Demi sebutir pingat emas Sukan Asia Guangzhou, November ini yang sekali gus menjadi penebus maruah kekecewaan Sukan SEA XXV Laos, Disember lalu, satu rombakan jurulatih dan pemain telah dilakukan bagi memantapkan kembali skuad kebangsaan yang kian tercalar maruah mereka.

Menurut Zolkples, beliau yakin terhadap usaha yang sedang dilakukan oleh MSN kerana sebelum ini, institusi itu telah berjaya membuktikan kemampuan untuk membangunkan sukan berprestasi tinggi di negara ini.
Jelasnya, skuad sepak takraw akan melalui proses yang sama seperti mana yang dijalani oleh sukan-sukan lain.

''Para pemain akan menjalani latihan dan pendedahan seperti biasa selain menyertai pelbagai pertandingan kompetitif bagi meningkatkan kualiti permainan mereka,'' ujarnya.
Selain itu, beliau memberitahu, pihaknya turut melantik seorang penyelaras pasukan yang akan melakukan kerja-kerja menyelaras untuk skuad negara.
''Penyelaras ini kita bayar gaji penuh dan dia ditugaskan bagi memastikan skuad takraw negara diselaras dengan lebih teratur.

''Namun begitu, perlu diingat tugas penyelaras ini berbeza dengan pengurus pasukan, jangan keliru pula,'' tambahnya.

Mengulas mengenai peranan jurulatih, Zolkples berkata, memberi sepenuh kepercayaan kepada jurulatih untuk menjalankan tugasnya amat penting kerana dia yang bertanggungjawab bagi membentuk pasukan yang baik serta mantap.

Menurut beliau, MSN turut memberi kebebasan kepada jurulatih skuad kebangsaan untuk mencari ramuan terbaik tanpa ada campur tangan daripada mana-mana pihak pun.

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...

As such, the Prime Minister said, it was important to scout for young talents in sports. "I observe that the Malaysia Games (Sukma) has become one of the important platforms to do so. "In this arena, the potentials and skills of the youngsters can be identified for development so that they can achieve greater success in sports," he said in his message in the souvenir book of the 12th Sukma from May 31 until June 9.

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...
