Hmm…nice to be here ….especially since i’m not writing my blog for a while….because of ..mood
So i’ll tell you some updates about me…..
This story is about basketball
When i asked to be a coach for Rektor Cup this year, it was a little bit surprise….since i got less interest in basketball than futsal recently.
Yeah….right now i’m addicted playing futsal. I think arysco asked me because the team need someone who able to analyze the game …plus an official. He knew i’m not interested playing in an event anymore.
A coach? hmm…..i thought that would be interesting!
Frankly speaking, i think we lost last year because of our poor teamwork… plus a coach ‘factor’. (This is a subjective opinion, so i can be wrong)
At that time i was so desperate because i knew how the team should play… but the coach benched me, didn’t listen to my suggestion, while i was 200% sure that i’m able to do something….
Okay ….enough chit..chat about such lame past…..let those experiences become my lesson
This year, the team trusting me as a coach and i’ll dedicate my time and experience to them….
Thanks to my highschool coach Bachron, a great friend of mine… he was my first person who taught me how to win a game effectively. Note that he was the best player among all my friends and he led our school winning some championship, not only when he was playing but also as a coach after he graduated.
This year we have a plenty of great talents consist of new students, a big guy from Senegal(which is a great and intelligent player), plus few ‘experienced’ players from those….errr….. who haven’t graduate yet…..no offense…
So this will be a great ingredients to me, and i’ll make them playing my philosophy which is
“FAST, SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE”
I like something simple…just like some economic words said
sacrifice less but gain more
I like to build with strong foundations……i like strong basics
Some of them on the team complained that the practice method was boring…..they said it was too basic
I said back to them for not being cocky because they had poor basic….
if they already have good basic, they can come to me to discuss what to do next…
so i decide to do this way…
- Improve the basic skills (stamina, dribble, pass, shoot)
- Improve the teamwork quality (eliminate the ego)
- Improve game reading
Although some of players has very good individual skill….they’re getting sharp in analyzing a game….they don’t care even if they don’t score in a game….because the objective is winning the game
Maybe there are few players who are not comfortable enough…but i don’t care because i only care about the result….i my way works…then they better stop complaining (sound like a dictator isn’t it?)
So far so good…..we made it to final…..and i ‘m surprised how silly is the strategy that our opponent perform to trick my players.
If only i was a player, not a coach…..maybe i wouldn’t be aware such kind of strategy
It’s really really different ……..a player’s view inside the court with someone’s outside…..i mean me
This job teach me a lot….it will be part of my life experiences…a great one of course
I’ll post a picture after we hold the championship cup …..wish me
