Atlet negara perlu kuat karektor

KETIKA ramai yang terus bermain teka-teki mengenai kemampuan sebenar atlet negara untuk melakar kegemilangan di Sukan Olimpik London tahun depan, masih ada suara positif impian seumpama itu bukan sesuatu yang mustahil untuk dizahirkan.

Pembinaan karektor, aspek mungkin kurang diberi perhatian rupanya turut menjadi ramuan penting dalam menentukan sama ada seseorang atlet itu mampu meraih kejayaan apabila berdepan cabaran atau sebaliknya.

Ketua Pengarah Institut Sukan Negara (ISN), Datuk Dr Ramlan Abdul Aziz berkata, ketika ini, tiga atlet negara iaitu Datuk Lee Chong Wei, Azizulhasni Awang dan Pandelela Rinong  sudah pun menunjukkan karektor sebenar mereka sebagai atlet bertaraf Olimpian.

Menurut Dr Ramlan, pembinaan karektor tidak akan datang dengan hanya menyertai kejohanan tetapi lahir hasil keupayaan atlet itu sendiri mengatasi pelbagai dugaan demi meraih kejayaan di London kelak.

“Mereka perlu mempunyai karektor yang kuat iaitu apabila mereka berdepan pelbagai tekanan, mereka mampu menghadirkan strategi untuk mengatasinya.

“Chong Wei dan Azizulhasni memilikinya, begitu juga Pandelela. Di sebalik personalitinya yang agak pemalu, pembinaan karektornya cukup kuat,” katanya.

Chong Wei sudah melakar sejarah apabila memenangi pingat perak di Sukan Olimpik 2008 Beijing dan kini berjuang pula untuk meraih emas pertama Olimpik manakala Azizulhasni mempamerkan semangat wiranya kepada seluruh dunia apabila terus mengayuh biarpun kakinya tertusuk serpihan kayu ketika kejohanan Piala Dunia di Manchester, Februari lalu.

Menurutnya, biarpun pelbagai taktik dan pendedahan diberikan jurulatih dan aspek pentadbiran juga disediakan dengan cukup baik, pada akhirnya tugas memburu kemenangan terletak di bahu atlet itu sendiri.

“Atlet perlu berasa yakin dan jangan rasa gusar dengan tekanan. Mereka perlu memberi tumpuan terhadap penguasaan prestasi dan bukan kepada hasil.

“Ini penting kerana kadang-kala hasil keputusan pertandingan pada hari itu berada di luar jangkauan kuasa kita tetapi kita perlu berikhtiar untuk memberikan yang terbaik dan paling penting gabungan aspek fizikal dan psikologi perlu mantap.

“Mungkin pada masa kasar, kita melihat kekalahan disebabkan kelemahan mental tetapi ia mungkin disebabkan masalah lain seperti belum pulih sepenuhnya daripada kecederaan hingga menyebabkan persediaan fizikal turut terjejas,” katanya.

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 ...
