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  .

Malaysian junior athletes are just too ‘lembik’

Saya setuju. We are working on more coaches! “ @ManOlimpik : Malaysian junior athletes are just too ‘lembik’ http://t.co/7D7wmHWaNy ” — Khairy Jamaluddin (@Khairykj) June 10, 2014 The benchmark. Can our junior athletes train as hard as Malaysia's world No.1 badminton player, Lee Chong Wei? “IT IS okay lah. The training is not too bad lah. I will try lah … Wah, so hard lah today.” These are some of the common statements I hear from our juniors nowadays. It is not only in badminton. It is the easy-going, laid-back attitude and lack of competitiveness at grassroots level that we have problems producing quality players. I have travelled quite a bit. After ending my decade-long career with the national team, I went to play in the league in Europe. It’s different there. The European athletes know what they want. And they do it with real focus. Even the young ones possess admirable self-control and show a high level of commitment. During my time in the ...

Organising Major Sports Events Can Inspire Sports Culture Among The People - Khairy

PUTRAJAYA, June 5 (Bernama) -- Organising major sports events can help inspire sports culture among the people and ensure a healthy lifestyle said Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin. Khairy said the Tour of Malaysia cycling race organised since 1963, for example, can encourage more people to take the sport in a more competitive way or just for recreation purposes. "A study carried out by a world renown medical journal, The Lancet, revealed that 61 percent of adults in Malaysia do not engage themselves in active sports. "A study by the Health Ministry revealed that only 25 percent of Malaysians exercise," he said in his speech when launching the 2013 Tour of Malaysia (Jelajah Malaysia) at the Youth and Sports Ministry, here, Wednesday. "Cycling, though not as popular here as in countries like Denmark, the activity is becoming popular among the people as can be seen through an increase in sale of bicycles for recreation," he sa...

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 ...
