We have seen and heard some "amazing" senarios of money being accidentally lost by some sports teams......on trips abroad....<br /><br />back up athletes form the big base of selection and it is essential that there is a constant inflow of them. HOWEVER good coaches and managers must keep a database of the performances of their athletes to justify their eligibility to represent the nation internationally.<br /><br />Documentation of their succeess must be appreciated by the relevant authorities and it is only logical at this century to realise that EVERYTHING requires money to run efficiently. <br /><br />The problem to day in sports is that there is lack of people with integrity and that makes the system weak and parents do lose hope in the system. Parents contribution is extremely important in developing the child's talent. Coaches who have identified and trained these talents must pass these talents onto NSC. They must carry on looking out for fresh ones and just not stop there. <br /><br />The elite are a different class altogether- their expectation is different and their needs are different.We have seen and heard the extent their demands ....in some sports just because they think they are " Celebrities".The drama sets in when their demands are not met....after all Malaysia wants them to be professionals....but fails to see the repercussions .....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
