Salahkan jurulatih, bukan pemain: Sieh



SALAHKAN jurulatih dan bukannya pemain! Itu pandangan Setiausaha Kehormat Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM) Datuk Sieh Kok Chi yang menegaskan jurulatih badminton negara bertanggung jawab sepenuhnya bagi kegagalan pemain masing-masing untuk menampilkan aksi terbaik hingga terkubur di separuh akhir kepada juara sebenarnya, China, dalam saingan Piala Thomas, dua minggu.

Bagi Kok Chi, dengan jurulatih dipertanggungjawab merangkap program persediaan rapi menghadapi Piala Thomas, mereka tidak seharusnya memberi alasan lain seperti disiplin pemain atau terkejut dengan persediaan lebih baik pasukan lawan sebagai alasan kekalahan.

Kita tidak seharusnya menyalahkan pemain sepenuhnya sebaliknya bagi saya jurulatih perlu bertanggung jawab,” kata Kok Chi, semalam. “Jurulatih yang merangka dan merancang persediaan kepada setiap pemain menghadapi Piala Thomas, dan seandainya pemain mereka gagal, mereka juga gagal sebagai seorang jurulatih.

“Tidak dinafikan kita mempunyai antara barisan jurulatih tempatan terbaik dalam skuad kebangsaan tetapi saya lihat mereka ini hanya jurulatih ‘latih tubi’ saja dan tidak mengajar pemainnya mereka untuk menjadi pemain yang berfikir.

“Sehingga sekarang kita hanya mempunyai seorang saja pemain perseorangan bertaraf dunia, malangnya kita tidak lihat barisan pelapis terbaik yang akan muncul? Kenapa ada jurang?.” kata Kok Chi.

Mengenai faktor kelemahan mental dibangkitkan pemain dan Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM), Kok Chi berkata ia alasan rapuh kerana pasukan badminton terdahulu dan ahli yang lalu sudah membentuk mentaliti kemenangan tetapi tampak sudah terhakis ketika ini.
“Sukan kita sudah maju dan kita mempunyai pakar seperti ISN (Institut Sukan Negara) yang boleh memperbetulkan mentaliti itu,” kata Kok Chi. “Malah, jurulatih juga berperanan untuk menerapkan kekuatan mental kepada pemain masing-masing.”

Apa yang jelas ketika pemain dan BAM masih menganggap kelemahan mental ada kaitan dengan budaya negara ini, jaguh sukan negara yang lain seperti pelumba basikal sensasi Azizul Hasni Awang dan pemain skuasy nombor satu wanita dunia, Nicol Ann David, menidakkan andaian itu  .

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...

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...
