Revington pamer sikap profesional

SIKAP profesional bekas ketua jurulatih skuad hoki senior negara, Paul Revington harus dipuji.

Walaupun 'kerusinya' telah diambil alih oleh Muhammad Dhaarma Raj Abdullah disebabkan masalah kesihatan yang dialami, Revington masih mahu memberikan sumbangan kepada skuad negara.

Buktinya, pengendali kelahiran Afrika Selatan itu dilihat turun membantu Dhaarma Raj semasa sesi latihan skuad negara di Stadium Hoki Nasional, Bukit Jalil semalam.

Dhaarma Raj berkata, Revington tetap bersemangat untuk membantu beliau dan skuad negara sehingga kontraknya yang masih berbaki tiga bulan tamat pada Mac depan.

Menurut Dhaarma Raj, tujuan Revington 'turun padang' adalah kerana jurulatih berusia 41 tahun itu masih menghormati kontrak dengan Persekutuan Hoki Malaysia (MHC).

"Hari ini (semalam) merupakan hari pertama beliau (Revington) turun ke padang. Beliau tidak perlu lagi menanggung tekanan yang dialami sebagai ketua jurulatih kerana saya yang perlu menanggungnya sekarang.

"Saya akan menggunakan khidmatnya selagi beliau masih berada di sini sehingga Kejohanan Cabaran Juara-Juara 1. Beliau mungkin boleh membantu saya dari segi pemberian idea kerana dia pakar dalam bidang taktikal.

"Saya amat berterima kasih dengan kesungguhan ditunjukkan beliau," katanya ketika ditemui semasa sesi latihan skuad negara di Stadium Hoki Nasional, Bukit Jalil semalam.

Sebelum ini, terdapat desas-desus mengatakan MHC akan menawarkan jawatan sebagai Penasihat Teknikal kepada Revington.

Ketika diminta mengulas mengenai perkara tersebut, Dhaarma Raj berkata, ia hanyalah sekadar khabar angin kerana Revington tidak pernah ditawarkan sebarang jawatan pada masa ini.

"Beliau tidak ditawarkan apa-apa kontrak baharu kerana beliau masih mempunyai notis peletakan jawatan selama tiga bulan.

"Selepas tamat notis tersebut, mungkin beliau akan menerima tawaran tersebut tetapi buat masa ini, beliau tidak ditawarkan apa-apa," katanya lagi.

Sebagai rekod, Revington dilantik sebagai jurulatih skuad senior negara bagi menggantikan Tai Beng Hai pada 22 Ogos 2012 apabila menandatangani kontrak selama dua tahun serta pilihan sambungan kontrak selama dua tahun lagi.

Bagaimanapun, bekas jurulatih Afrika Selatan dan Ireland itu secara rasmi melepaskan jawatan pada 20 Januari lalu.

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 ...
