Very interesting presentation that the present round of applause was Professor Branislav Pokrajac, Olympic winner as a player, and as a selector. He referred to several aspects of coaching work, but also expressed his view point in the Serbian handball.
– We often hear of „continuity“ in the reports of the Alliance after major competitions. Most often we are in competition, and thus result proclaim that we are involved? I see that after SP junior in Brazil spoke about disciplinary offenses, there were rumors about the situations that a team member can not afford. Selector cadets after the World Cup in Russia talked about that many players do not respect national jersey. This is the beginning of everything – said Pokrajac and added:
– Working on a project RSB few years ago with the junior Red Star, I found out that they pay a membership fee. It’s a disaster, this system. This means that, in fact, we have no system to quality to go from start to finish, from the youngest to the senior. Earlier we had a fist-scale tests, and you immediately see how he stands hands, whether the child was handball or send in basketball. It was then, and today our children pay a membership fee and that’s enough. Once a junior could not play, if he was not great at school, and when you ask kids today, they say „I play handball, what school?“. That no one alive to worry.
He stated Pokrajac and interesting detail from the time when he worked in Porto:
– When I arrived in Porto, I quickly realized that the players tactical ideas accepting faster than our players. I asked White Petric and another stranger why this is so, it was strange, considering the level of handball in Portugal compared to ours. They told me, the right wing is the third year of medicine, as well as left back, this study law, this DIF, one building. There can be no education. They were ready to learn. Here we see that the Portuguese champion wins Serbian in the middle of Novi Sad. It is normal that people are more likely to understand and accept when you have a level. Without education there is nothing.
FROM uneducated man – educated trainer?
Pokrajac deepened the story about the lack of education in the handball world …
Who creates the players? We have players who are uneducated, complete career, and having nothing to do, after a few years they want to be coaches. And, as of uneducated man to make educated trainers? This is the alchemy that is not working. That order and the Union should take into account. The relationship between the Faculty and the Union must work – said Pokrajac gave the example from Austria:
– Pedagogical practice in Austria is bound to go into some of German clubs where spend some time. Then meet and share experiences, create a seminar about it. Here I could not send a student to the clubs.
WHAT WILL SERBIA Selector?
– What do we want? To fill the national team? Players, above all, they have to play in the club. It was always the club gives the material a real world-class team. In a system where you have two weeks to get ready, players need to be saved in the club for the national team. You have to have a system of cadets, juniors over to that one player is ready for the senior national team. I often say, sealing the BMV’s not Mercedes. We must know what is being done from start to finish, and with us, every coach has his own philosophy, each director of „Fura your joke“ – he said Pokrajac and continued:
– There will always be some unhappy because he is not invited. This is normal if you have 35 candidates. When the game decides, national team coach, we’ve heard – selector. Why a handball coach? Peruničić and Atanasov know, by nomenclature of sports professions, you have the trainer at 4-5 levels. Each level of precision has certain qualifications that must possess. There is no interest selector, and therefore not qualified. Why do we have the selectors and coaches do not have, because the coaches have to have the qualifications and the selectors do not. What will Handball selector, ask this collection? It appeared quite often the case. If we had that led selection.
Compile NOT CONNECTED …
– National team should compile, but merged. For it is not enough to know two or three templates. More Vlado Štencl said that handball decathlon with a ball. The coach must be able to monitor and develop, not two circles around it and a template. Shooting should last until nadigraš defense, and not to dump after a pattern here. To reach it, it takes time. The point of all my team was to play as simpler, but then they all think they can do the same, and you then tend to …
