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...

Sports press clippings on the 24 April 2008

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...
