Arul pilih 22 pemain terbaik


Kuala Lumpur: Ketua jurulatih skuad hoki remaja negara Arul Selvaraj perlu membuat keputusan tepat memilih 22 pemain terbaik sepanjang saingan Liga Hoki Remaja Malaysia (MJHL) untuk dipanggil menyertai kem negara buat kali pertama dalam usahanya membentuk skuad baru.
Bekas penolong jurulatih skuad kebangsaan itu nyata kesuntukan masa untuk memilih barisan pemain terbaik dan atas faktor itu, beliau perlu membuat keputusan bijak.

“Memang jika mengikut perancangan awal saya nak pilih seramai 40 hingga 45 pemain sebelum mengurangkannya kepada 25 hingga 30.

“Tapi saya sudah tiada masa untuk melakukan proses pemilihan seperti itu kerana perlu membentuk pasukan seawal mungkin. Sebab kami akan menyertai saingan Divisyen 1 (Liga Hoki Malaysia) bulan depan. “Saya akan memilih 22 pemain daripada penilaian dalam saingan liga dan tiga lagi pemain berdasarkan pemilihan di luar liga untuk menjadikan keseluruhan 25 pemain,” katanya ketika dihubungi semalam.

Arul berkata, dengan Piala Remaja Asia, satu-satunya saingan yang menawarkan tiket ke Piala Dunia 2016 berlangsung pada tahun depan di lokasi yang belum diumumkan lagi, beliau perlu mempersiapkan pasukan mantap seawal mungkin.

“Saya bukan hanya memilih pemain hebat dengan skil di atas padang, tapi mereka yang juga bijak sebab hoki moden memerlukan setiap pemain membuat keputusan dengan cepat,” 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...

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...
