Cyberlynx bentuk pasukan kebangsaan berkaliber

Pengetahuan pelajar dalam sukan adalah kelebihan untuk menjadikan mereka individu serba boleh serta Berjaya.

Malaysia mempunyai sebuah pasukan bola sepak yang membanggakan untuk tiga dekad yang lalu, namun sejak kebelakangan ini prestasi pemain bola se­pak kita kian menurun.

Ia jelas apabila pasukan kebangsaan kita ditewaskan oleh Emiriah Arab Bersatu (UAE) dan Palestin dalam perlawanan kelayakan Piala Dunia 2018, sekali gus menyebabkan kedudukan pa­sukan negara berada di ke­dudukan 30 paling bawah, iaitu posisi nombor 173.

Keadaan itu amat memalukan kerana jika dibandingkan dengan Palestin, Malay­sia mempunyai banyak kemudahan, wang dan peluang untuk membentuk serta membina sebuah pasukan yang berkaliber. Negara kita sudah lama berusaha keras ke arah melahirkan pemain berkualiti, namun tidak dinafikan ia bukanlah tugas mudah.

Sambar peluang

Harus disedari, ia mengambil masa lama untuk menghasilkan pasukan bola sepak yang baik. Bagaimanapim, ia tidak mustahil jika pe­luang yang ada dikejar dan disambar segera.

Pembangunan bola sepak harus bermula dengan belia kerana ia akan meneambil kan pemain bola sepak ber­kaliber.

Kepentingan dan minat dalam bidang sukan perlu dipupuk daripada peringkat akar umbi generasi muda. Tetapi tidak dinafikan ramai ibu bapa tidak menggalakkan anak mereka untuk menceburi bidang berkenaan secara serius.

Suatu kebiasaan bagi masyarakat Asia yang berpendapat bahawa seseorang itu hanya boleh beijaya dalam bidang akademik dan bu- kannya bidang sukan.

Walaupun, keadaan ini sedang melalui perubahan, masih ramai yang tidak nampak sebab untuk menggalakkan anak mereka men­ceburi sukan kerana masih tidak dapat membayangkan keijaya yang cemerlang da­lam bidang itu di negara ki­ta.

Ini adalah suatu tanggapan yang salah. Sebenamya, kekurangan pemain bola se­pak yang beijaya di negara kita berpunca daripada ku- rang minat serta galakan ibu bapa. Sikap dan pemikiran sebegini harus berubah.

Pembangunan sukan da­lam kalangan belia dan remaja perlu bermula pada waktu persekolahan. Pelajar dalam lingkungan umur 7 hingga 17 tahun menghabiskan banyak masa di sekolah. Walaupun ada mata pelajaran Pendidikan Jasmani, ia tidak membawa ba­nyak manfaat kerana dianggap sebagai waktu untuk bermain serta berseronok.

Walaupun prestasi akade­mik penting, pengetahuan pelajar dalam bidang sukan adalah satu kelebihan untuk menjadikan mereka indivi- du serba boleh serta berjaya.

Isu utama dalam pemba­ngunan dan perkembangan bola sepak dalam kalangan belia muda kini adalah kurangnya disiplin antara me­reka dan iurulatih. Suatu

lakukan, seperti mendapatkan kepakaran, pengetahu­an dan kemahiran rakan sekerja yang berada di luar negara.

Pembangunan bola sepak belia negara hanya boleh dicapai dengan adanya input daripada semua pihak termasuk kerajaan, ibu bapa dan persatuan bola sepak negara. Malaysia masih mampu melahirkan dan membentuk pasukan bola sepak kebangsaan berkaliber dengan adanya sokongan sewajamya semua pihak.

Nursery For Football Talents

Selangor club set up first academy up north at 5JK (T) Mak Mandin

By Loganath Velloo

THE Selangor-based My World Football Chib has chosen SJK (T) Mak Mandin in Butterworth as the base for its fifth football academy to groom young players.

My World FC, which fielded a team in the Football Association of Selangor league, launched the academy to train past and present students of SJK (T) Mak Mandin at the MPSP Sports Complex in Bukit Meitajam, Penang.

The students, who a re divided into ’Under 9, Under-12 and Under-18 categories, will attend twice-weekly training sessions and compete in tournaments under the My World banner.

The club is working closely with SJK (T) Mak Mandin and ex-players of the Butterworth Recreation Club (BRC) to make the academy project a success.

The school is the first outside the Klang Valley to be earmarked for My World FC’s football academy project.

Since 2013, the club has set up football academies at SJK (T) Bestari Jaya in Batang Berjuntai, SJK (T) Vageesar in Kuala Selangor, SJK (T) Saraswathy in Kuala Lumpur and SJK (T) Bandar Barn Salak Tinggi in Sepang.

“We are excited to team up with SJK (T) Mak Mandin and BRC veterans for our first football academy project outside Selangor and Kuala Lumpur,” said My World FC youth development programme director Kumaran Velu.

“The school authorities were very support­ive when My World approached them with the proposal.

“The BRC veterans will help us with the training of the kids. There will be seven coaches under our project at the school.

"We have plans to enter the My World teams in the league and invitational age- group competitions in Penang.

“We are also planning to launch two more academies in Kuala Kangsar (Perak) and Kapar (Selangor).”

Kumaran explained that the main objective of the academies was to provide young players, especially the needy, with the opportunity to receive proper basic training in football.

“My World FC wants to contribute to football in the country. It will be great it we are able to produce talented players who can go on to play at a higher level.

“We also hope to promote an active life­style for the youngsters and keep them away from undesirable activities.”

About 50 trainees turned up for the recent launch of the academy by Bagan Dalam assemblyman A. Tanasekharan.

Following a two-hour training session by the academy coaches, the trainees took on the BRC veterans in a friendly match.

Run for a cause

Body, mind and soul - wellness

The Star/ Body, mind and soul – wellness/Tuesday, 20 December 2016

THE adage “First we build the tools, then the tools build us” proved true in the relationship between Sanctuary Health Sdn Bhd and iron- man contestant Jeff Lau Jun Tean.

While each sportsperson requires his own personal will, desire and dream to propel forward in his chosen arena, he would inevitably require tools to train and prepare.

A runner making interesting inroads into the international world of ultra-runs, Lau said exercise, training apparatus and equipment play a significant part in his training.

Lau, the eldest of six children and a communication design graduate from RMIT University in Melbourne, started running in secondary school in a bid to lose some weight and to get fit.

He eventually entered marathons for “the fun of it” and discovered his penchant for running.

He also developed a passion for raising funds for worthy causes.

“This actually came about as I was recovering from a knee ligament injury three years ago and I made a decision to do something worthy with my feet,” he said.

In 2014, the 26-year-old challenged himself in a 250km run across the Sahara desert in a bid to raise funds for the Malaysian AIDS Foundation.

He shared that his inspiration came about after the MH17 tragedy, which saw the demise of many AIDS research scientists.

“I personally know people with HIV and I felt this was a big loss and wanted to contribute to this cause,” said Lau.

Early this year, he completed the

The Spider Cord is Lau's favourite.

Iron Man Challenge within the stipulated qualifying time.

He trained only for three months, and this is where the Sanctband Active Series products from Sanctuary Health really helped.

“The Spider Cord, Super Loop Band and Mini Loop Band as well as the Balance Cushion are especially useful as I am not one to frequent the gymnasium much,” said Lau.

He also especially liked that Sanctband products are highly portable and convenient for training while travelling and during ultra­runs. They can easily be packed into a bag and used anywhere.

Launched in June 2015, the Sanctband Active Series is Sanctuary

Health’s range of latex-free exercise equipment targeted for strength and stamina training in fitness and sports.

The eight products in this range complete and complement Sanctband’s original range of equipment originally designed for therapy exercises.

Lau is currently preparing for his next race - the 6633 Arctic Ultra race - which spans a distance of 560km from Yukon to the Arctic Circle.

From the scorching Sahara to the freezing Arctic, Lau will be running this race to raise funds for a worthy cause.

His training partners will again include the Sanctband Active Series products, especially his favourite Spider Cord.

“My passion for running is not only to fulfil a personal need,” said Lau.

“I also truly want to inspire people to be fit and healthy and also to pursue their dreams. It’s a worthwhile package for me -1 get to run, stay fit, participate in international events and also contribute to charity.”

And supporting Lau is Sanctuary Health, which is committed to helping aspiring individuals, especially those in sports and fitness, to achieve their dreams of making a difference.

This is a story of ordinary people doing extraordinary thing which will become great inspirations and contribute to the benefit of many.
