کوچنگ میں یہ سب اہم باتیں ہیں جو آپ کو ذہن میں رکھنی چاہئیں تاکہ آپ ایک موثر اور کامیاب کوچ بن سکیں۔

Becoming a coach is a big step - well done! - and can initially be confusing. Don't stress. Here's a quick breakdown of some coaching fundamentals that can put you on the right path.

How to get into the coaching mindset

Before leaping head first into coaching it is worth thinking about why you are coaching, who you are coaching and what they are probably looking to get out the sessions and you as their coach.

Think about the following in relation to the team(s) that you coach; you might find that the answers differ for different teams:

• Why do people play sport?
• What does it mean to be a coach?
• What jobs might a “coach” do?
• What should be taken into consideration when planning a session?

Make sure that you keep this contextual information in mind when you’re planning sessions; are your plans appropriate for the team and players you’re coaching? If you create a positive learning environment then you’ll see better results. Be aware of mistakes made, and use that knowledge to create methods for improving in specific areas.

کوچ بننا ایک بڑا قدم ہے، مبارک ہو! لیکن یہ شروع میں کچھ الجھن پیدا کر سکتا ہے، اور آپ کو پریشان ہونے کی ضرورت نہیں ہے۔ یہاں کچھ بنیادی اصول ہیں جو آپ کو کوچنگ کے راستے پر صحیح سمت دکھا سکتے ہیں۔

سب سے پہلے، کوچنگ کی ذہنیت کو سمجھنا ضروری ہے۔ اس سے پہلے کہ آپ کوچنگ کی دنیا میں قدم رکھیں، یہ سوچنا ضروری ہے کہ آپ کوچنگ کیوں کر رہے ہیں، آپ کس کو کوچنگ دے رہے ہیں اور وہ اس سیشنز سے کیا حاصل کرنے کی توقع رکھتے ہیں۔ یہ سوالات آپ کی سوچ کی رہنمائی کریں گے۔

آپ جس ٹیم کو کوچ کر رہے ہیں، اس کے بارے میں سوچیں؛ یہ سوالات آپ کو مختلف ٹیموں کے حوالے سے مختلف جوابات دے سکتے ہیں:

لوگ کھیل کیوں کھیلتے ہیں؟ کھیل کا مقصد صرف جیتنا نہیں ہوتا بلکہ یہ تفریح، جسمانی صحت، اور ٹیم ورک جیسے مختلف پہلوؤں کو بھی فروغ دیتا ہے۔ آپ کو یہ سمجھنا ضروری ہے کہ آپ کے کھلاڑیوں کی مختلف ضروریات اور خواہشات ہو سکتی ہیں۔

ایک کوچ کا کیا مطلب ہوتا ہے؟ ایک کوچ صرف ایک ٹیکنیکل تربیت دینے والا شخص نہیں ہوتا بلکہ وہ ایک رہنما، مشیر، اور کھلاڑیوں کے لئے حوصلہ افزائی کا ذریعہ بھی ہوتا ہے۔ کوچ کا کردار کھلاڑیوں کی ترقی میں مدد فراہم کرنا ہوتا ہے اور انہیں ان کے مقاصد کے حصول میں معاونت فراہم کرنا ہوتا ہے۔

کوچ کے کیا کام ہو سکتے ہیں؟ کوچ کا کام صرف ٹریننگ دینا نہیں بلکہ کھلاڑیوں کی ذہنی اور جسمانی بہتری پر بھی نظر رکھنا، ٹیم کے ماحول کو بہتر بنانا، اور ہر کھلاڑی کی منفرد ضروریات کو سمجھ کر ان کی تربیت کرنا ہوتا ہے۔

جب آپ سیشنز کی منصوبہ بندی کر رہے ہوں تو کیا چیزیں مدنظر رکھی جائیں؟ یہ بہت ضروری ہے کہ آپ اپنی سیشنز کو کھلاڑیوں کی سطح، عمر اور ان کی ضروریات کے مطابق ترتیب دیں۔ ایک کامیاب سیشن وہی ہوتا ہے جس میں کھلاڑیوں کو نہ صرف سیکھنے کا موقع ملے بلکہ وہ اسے تفریح کے طور پر بھی دیکھیں۔ اس کے لئے آپ کو ایک مثبت سیکھنے کا ماحول پیدا کرنا ہوتا ہے۔

جب آپ سیشنز کی منصوبہ بندی کریں تو ہمیشہ اس بات کو ذہن میں رکھیں کہ کیا آپ کی پلاننگ کھلاڑیوں اور ٹیم کی ضروریات کے مطابق ہے؟ اگر آپ ایک ایسا ماحول تخلیق کرتے ہیں جہاں کھلاڑی بہتر سیکھ سکیں اور اپنی غلطیوں سے سبق حاصل کر سکیں، تو آپ کو بہتر نتائج حاصل ہوں گے۔

The history of flying disc sports in Pakistan dates back several decades, with informal games and gatherings introducing the sport to enthusiasts across the country. Initially known as "Daysee Frisbee" or simply "Frisbee," the sport gained popularity as a recreational activity and a form of exercise, particularly in athletes' warm-up routines. Though the exact origins are unclear, flying disc sports have been enjoyed since the 1970s, forming a cherished part of childhood memories for many.

Early Development

The early days were marked by grassroots enthusiasm, with players crafting their unique styles and techniques. Despite the lack of formal organization or structured competitions, a strong disc culture emerged. By 1998, efforts to formalize the sport gained momentum, with players exploring different formats such as Ultimate Frisbee and Beach Ultimate.

Founding of PFDF

In the early 2000s, the Pakistan Flying Disc Federation (PFDF) was founded in Gujranwala by Toseef Bukhari, a passionate advocate of the sport. Under the guidance of renowned players like Azhar Khan Burki, Zeeshan Azam, Fatah Dad Khan Burki, and Tauheed ul-Zaman Khan, the federation laid the groundwork for organized flying disc sports. Associations such as the Association of Ultimate Frisbee Pakistan, Pakistan Beach Ultimate Flying Disc Association, and Pakistan Disc Golf Association were established, creating a robust structure to promote the sport nationwide.

Organizational Growth

PFDF facilitated the establishment of regional associations, including the Islamabad Frisbee Association, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) Flying Disc Association, Sindh Flying Disc Association, and Balochistan Flying Disc Association. By the 2000s, these associations had created a vibrant community through informal playgroups and organized events in urban areas, spreading the love for flying disc sports across Pakistan.

Leadership and Vision

After 2020, under the leadership of Syed Fraz Amjad, the PFDF entered a new era of growth. As Secretary General, Fraz played a crucial role in promoting the sport, fostering inclusivity, and ensuring accessibility for all. His vision and commitment strengthened the federation and helped expand the sport’s reach across the country.

Challenges and Resilience

The PFDF has faced various challenges, including limited resources, political dynamics, and issues of legitimacy. Rivalries and power struggles, particularly in cities like Faisalabad and Gujranwala, have tested the federation’s resolve. However, through transparency and fairness, PFDF has maintained an inclusive and democratic structure, ensuring that all members and leaders have a voice in its operations.

Events and Media Presence

PFDF has actively promoted the sport through national tournaments and online platforms, including YouTube and Facebook under "Pakistan Flying Disc Federation [Official]." These efforts continue to draw attention to the sport and its growing community.

Manufacturing and Future Prospects

In 2024, PFDF embarked on an initiative to manufacture and distribute high-quality 175-gram Ultimate discs within Pakistan, a significant step towards strengthening the sport’s infrastructure.

Looking Ahead

Flying disc sports in Pakistan now include a variety of disciplines such as Ultimate, Beach Ultimate, Guts, Freestyle, Overall, and the uniquely local Daysee. Efforts to introduce Disc Golf are also underway, with the PFDF working to overcome challenges like equipment accessibility and infrastructure development.

The journey of flying disc sports in Pakistan is a testament to the passion and dedication of pioneers like Toseef Bukhari and the PFDF leadership. As the federation looks to the future, it remains committed to growing the sport, building strong community connections, and providing opportunities for players of all ages and backgrounds to excel.
