Bachmann: Focus on AG, Olympics
Chairperson Richard Bachmann had an epiphany while doing the rounds of Philippine Sports Commission-owned facilities around the country recently. “We should focus on the Asian Games and the Olympics,” Bachmann said during the Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex on Tuesday. “That should be the goal.” Bachmann expressed the belief as he was discussing the PSC’s preparations for the 32nd Southeast Asian Games taking place in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, next month. While Bachmann is not belittling the SEA Games, the PSC chief made it clear that it is high time for everyone to change their mind-set. “I am not putting it (SEA Games) down. The SEA Games is a given. We can win it.” Bachmann had just been to Cebu and Zamboanga and these trips have made him realize that a drastic change has to take place. “That (Asian Games and Olympics) should be our goal,” Bachman said, stressing that most of the pictures and memorabilia he had seen during his four months as PSC leader showed mainly triumphs in the lowly SEA Games. Still, Bachmann swears “it won’t happen overnight.” “It’s not going to be easy changing that mind-set,” he added. Meanwhile, Bachmann bared that national sports associations wishing to cash in on the PSC’s coffers have to come up with stellar showings in the SEA Games and other major meets. “If an NSA wants more money, they have to win,” said Bachmann, who will be watching the 800-plus Philippine delegation attempt to better its fourth-place finish in Hanoi during the 5 to 17 May edition in the Cambodian capital. “You perform, you get money for next year,” he said. To gauge an NSA’s performance, the PSC has created a matrix which will be the basis of its grading system. With a little over two weeks left, the PSC said all the athletes’ needs have already been taken care of, including their allowances. “The PSC is just trying to take care of the athletes,” he said, refusing to issue a forecast on Team Philippines' final placing. “If I go the Alaska way, we have to improve. If we were fourth last year, we should improve this time,” Bachmann, a former Alaska mainstay and executive, said. “If you look at some of the sports, a lot of their athletes are abroad (training and competing) and I hope they get the confidence and perform well.” The post Bachmann: Focus on AG, Olympics appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
