VISIBLE FUTURE FOR SPORTS THROUGH ADHYAKSA DAULT’S PAL

One of Indonesia’s tremendous fame is on sports which always take for granted in every sport tournaments even in Olympic. Such badminton, volley ball, tennis, etc. become our specialty, blooming Indonesia in the world. Of course, it is not as simple as dreaming to realize it. Processes are the main reason behind its success. What process do they need? Indeed exercise is the answer. Indonesia has good potential athletes to be trained and in this case Indonesia has had KONI(Komite Olah raga Nasional Indonesia) which execute trainings for all branch sports such Pelatnas(Pelatihan Nasional or National Training) to prepare athletes before they go to championships. Well, we used to have KONI which is actually not too effective lately, but now to maintain, train, and prepare athletes we have PAL( Program Atlet Andalan) proposed by Adhyaksa Dault, the State Minister of Youth and Sports, in 2008. The question is what makes KONI and PAL distinct and why Adhyaksa makes PAL instead of developing KONI.
This year, there will be SEA Games/SEAG 2009 in Laos. Flashing back to several years ago, in 2005 SEAG Filipina, Indonesia was able to be in the fifth rank; in 2007 SEAG Thailand, Indonesia was in the forth rank; and hopefully in SEAG 2009 Laos, Indonesia will be in the third rank. SEAG 2009 is considered harder because of rivals from other countries, e.g. Vietnam has made long term training for its athletes. Adhyaksa believes that Indonesia has to be general champion in SEAG 2011 Indonesia. Besides, other countries have applied sport science and he wants to do so in Indonesia. Thus, he wants to realize it through PAL to accelerate and train our best athletes for international tournaments rather than with KONI which is often trapped in corruption. Unless Indonesia has visible guaranteed program like PAL, Indonesia will not gain all its goals. It is severe reason why Adhyaksa wants to realize it.
Why people favor with PAL? Because of those backgrounds. They further see how ineffectively KONI works to realize it. According to Adhyaksa, PAL is not a counterpart for KONI. Indeed it works with its own way but still they both would like to gain the same result, KONI is like hardware and PAL is like software. Since KONI could not prove much of its success lately, Adhyaksa just thinks of other solution for our sports future, PAL. Still, KONI’s athletes can also join in PAL because in PAL’s selection they look for the best athlethes to be main athletes. PAL, specified and focused on 20 branch sports, can be so effective because it is not as many as KONI in handling athletes so that its visibility in its success to bring up our athletes to champion by gaining training from professional coaches is severe seen. Even if they walk not in the same path but again and again, for sure they are aimed at preparing our athletes in championships.
In 2008, Adhyaksa Dault proposed PAL-different program from Garuda Emas and Indonesia Bangkit used to be created by KONI and ineffective-, prepared for SEAG 2009 Laos until 2012 London Olympic, to be granted by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. PAL itself takes 100 best athletes to be in contract for four years and each contract costs RP 1 billion per year and PAL needs RP 400 billion for main athletes during four years. PAL also has prepared 230 athletes for 20 branch sports consist of 100 main athletes, supported by pratama athletes and junior athletes as liners, recruited either by PAL or also by registering by themselves to PAL. A simple doubt coming toward this case is that this March, there is national selection, for Martial Arts Games 2009 on April, for Pelatnas followed by 115 athletes and 40 of them are PAL’s. Seen from the nature of PAL which gives good facilities and financial support to its athletes, Madju Dharyanto Hutapea( head of AMAG National Training) said that PAL’s athletes would not be all out because of the distinct matters. In Pelatnas held by KONI, they only get RP 2,6 million while in PAL they can even get more. In common sense, people prefer to choose PAL to KONI since PAL your life is guaranteed; athletes get more privileges within their career.
The standard of PAL athletes’ success is that by Asian level competition and at least in a year they are sent in three competitions; if they do not give any champion contribution, they will be replaced by pratama athletes. PAL, launched in November, 12th 2008, is financially supported by APBN and DPR RI. Besides, PAL is also in tied agreements with other ministries such Minister for Internal Affairs, the State Minister for Control of Machinery of the State, Minister of Public Welfare. etc. Simply it shows that actually PAL is considerable to be revealed. Furthermore, PAL is independently managed and given autonomy to maintain its more less 300 selected athletes. Even though many people disfavor with PAL but agreements coming from other ministries, law protection form UU No. 3 2005 about National Sports System granted by President, and good response from DPR RI reflect how background, mechanism, visibility, and solvency of Adhyaksa’s proposal remains good.
