Dharma Raj Ganti Revington Sebagai Ketua Jurulatih Skuad Senior

KUALA LUMPUR, 21 Jan (Bernama) -- Penolong jurulatih Muhammad Dharma Raj Abdullah Isnin dilantik sebagai ketua jurulatih skuad hoki senior negara menggantikan Paul Revington yang telah meletak jawatan, Jumaat lepas.

Naib Presiden Kanan Konfederasi Hoki Malaysia (MHC) Datuk Nur Azmi Ahmad berkata pelantikan Dharma Raj itu telah dipersetujui oleh Presiden MHC Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah yang mengadakan pertemuan dengan Revington dan barisan kejurulatihan skuad hoki negara, semalam.

"Kita sudah menerima keputusan Revington meletak jawatan," katanya.

Nur Azmi berkata dua bekas pemain negara K. Gobinathan dan Nor Azlan Bakar akan membantu Dharma Raj manakala pembantu Revington, Arul Selvaraj dilantik sebagai ketua jurulatih skuad remaja kebangsaan.

Beliau berkata Dharma Raj dilantik membimbing skuad senior memandangkan kesuntukan masa untuk MHC mencari jurulatih asing bagi mempersiapkan pasukan negara menghadapi Kejohanan Piala Sultan Azlan di Ipoh, Perak, Mac ini.

Revington, yang hadir pada sidang media tersebut, mendakwa belau mengalami masalah kesihatan berkaitan tekanan sejak mula membimbing skuad senior pada Jun, tahun lepas.

"Seseorang yang mengalami masalah ini boleh mengatasinya dengan berehat untuk beberapa hari tetapi saya tidak dalam keadaan seperti itu.

"Saya perlu mengendalikan 45 orang yang memerlukan kepimpinan saya setiap hari dan ini tidak memberi saya peluang menikmati cuti banyak hari untuk pulih semula," kata jurulatih kelahiran Afrika Selatan itu.

Revington bagaimanapun menjelaskan beliau berharap untuk membimbing skuad remaja negara pada masa depan, sambil menaruh keyakinan terhadap Darma Raj untuk meneruskan usaha cemerlangnya dengan skuad senior.

Dalam pada itu, Dharma Raj, yang membawa skuad remaja negara meraih tempat keempat pada Kejohanan Remaja Dunia di India, Disember lepas, berjanji untuk membantu skuad senior mencapai sasaran yang ditetapkan oleh MHC pada tahun ini.

"Saya bagaimanapun perlu berjumpa dengan pemain skuad senior terlebih dahulu sebelum melaksanakan perancangan untuk mencapai sasaran yang ditetapkan oleh pihak pengurusan," katanya.

Revington sebelum ini pernah melepaskan jawatan yang disandangnya selepas mendakwa Dharma Raj dan Pengarah Program Hoki 1MAS, Lim Chiow Chuan mencampuri hal ehwal skuad senior kebangsaan.

Kemelut berkenaan bagaimanapun selesai selepas Menteri Belia dan Sukan Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar mengadakan perjumpaan dengan Revington tahun lepas.

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...

Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob (centre) speaks to athletes after giving away the Olympic qualifying incentives in Putrajaya yesterday. — Pic: RAMDZAN MASIAM Thomas Cup Equally Important, Says Ismail PUTRAJAYA, April 23 (Bernama) -- Although Malaysia want badly a badminton gold at the Beijing Olympics in August, winning the Thomas Cup in Jakarta in May is equally important, said Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob. "My ministry deems all events participated by the national badminton squad as important including the Thomas Cup, which Malaysia last won in 1992. "Statements made that the Beijing Olympics takes precedence over other events is not the position of the ministry," he told reporters at his office here today. Ismail said no matter what events Malaysians competed, seeking glory for the nation should be the overriding priority. He said this when asked to comment on remarks by national badminton chief coach Yap Kim Hock on...
