In relation to the topic, I found this Azraai Khor's post on Facebook
He was talking about professionalism among local players. Who should shoulder the responsibility to educate our players who are all mostly youngsters.
Majority of them started playing in the local league as soon as they left school and sad to say that many have poor education background.
As what Azraai Khor mentioned in his posting, these players do not have the skill to manage their income during the time they are attached with a team. They might not have Plan B with their income to save for the rainy days.
Sports is a risky activity and athletes who earn a living through sports can have their income jeapordised anytime. Injury and decreasing of skill is the worst enemy.
When I was lecturing about training under the National Coaching Accreditation Scheme's (SPKK) Sports Science, I always tell the coaches who attended the course that "Injury is the begining of the end of an athlete's career" relating to how many once a talented player and hopeful athlete had to give up sports due to injury.
What Azraai Khor mention in his post is all true.
