Sports management and medical diagnostics

Massad Al-Harthi

Based on the response of our dear readers, whom I am proud of their opinions and suggestions, and as a continuation of the previous article “The peg is a trainer and the disease is administrative”, I confirm that my courage in positive criticism stems from the directions of our wise leadership that we were brought up to support the positive side and criticize the negative. .

Today, I will try to assume the character of the doctor until he contributed to supporting my brothers in the Football Association and club administrations, and emphasizing that there is a general weakness in sports management.

My medical diagnosis will be limited to the last decade only, because the old past was more beautiful and better, and now the pains and tumors have increased and spread, and the masses are in great pain, and what happened specifically after the resignation of Muhammad Khalfan Al-Rumaithi from the presidency of the Football Association is the absence of the management personality and the evidence is the number of global coaches who They were hired, and they numbered six coaches within 10 years at a rate of one and a half years for each coach, and here is the preliminary diagnosis of the disease that the Emirati football suffers from, as any change needs time to work on consensus and harmony in thought and implement it if there is an institutional planning and not jurisprudence. People, and I am confident that they are looking for excellence in serving the national team and Emirati football, but the method has been sterile since ancient times, and here we mention the diagnosis of chronic diseases, including the lack of strategic planning, and we do not forget the weakness of the method of implementation of plans, and the weakness of communication channels with technical departments and players, and whether Is it possible, oh our esteemed administrations, of these changes in trainers and experiences that cost the state huge sums without learning from lessons?

Confirming the weakness of administrations I do not mean by the current administration only, because the current management teams have completed the work of previous administrations, as if they are competing, but in the opposite direction, and it seems that there is an opposite change to their creative ideas.

As for the diagnosis of the relationship of the management personality with the behavior of the players, the personality of the player is formed based on the personality of the management, and if it is not firm, the player may complain, feel and be pampered, but if it is strict accountability that applies the principle of reward and punishment, you will not find this is the case of our players and this is our reality, and we must return to the old fighters And not the old players, because they were already warriors.

Finally ... we see the teams whose countries are suffering from wars and instability, and there is no support for them, but their results and outcomes are ahead of us .. Goodbye, gentlemen.

• The personality of the player is formed based on the personality of the management. If it is not firm, the player may complain, feel and be pampered.
