Turkish Chiropractic Sports Council
Background: The primary function of the FICS Executive Council (ExCo) is oversight of the organisation's strategic direction to grow the sports chiropractic community on the world stage. The FICS Regional representatives are members of the FICS Exco, and their primary responsibility is to be the connection between the FICS ExCo and the NCSC. These reports help your Regional Representative stay connected to your NCSC strengths, weaknesses/challenges, opportunities, and tactics that the NCSC is facing. We encourage you to reach out to your FICS Regional Representative to discuss any issues you are facing so that they can contact you and discuss this at a mutually convenient time.
Please stay connected with your FICS Regional Representative and invite them to a couple of your board meetings each year so we can build that strong connection, awareness and communication link. This online reporting template is a tool to raise reporting and does not replace the interaction between the Regions and the FICS Regional Representative. This process enables FICS and the NCSC to create a strong working relationship to provide continuous support and feedback to serve and grow the broader sports chiropractic community.
Instructions: The NCSC quarterly report has two sections:
Part I. Activities which the NCSC are working on or have been doing in the past quarter.
Part II. Areas with which the NCSC would like FICS assistance. This part will assist FICS in supporting your NCSC and sharing resources for the growth of sports chiropractic.
If there is no activity in the last quarter, a "NA" response is sufficient. However, before you list "NA", please consider any significant information/developments concerning your NCSC and sports chiropractic during this period. You may consider including any updates on projects you are working on or issues that your NCSC reported on in previous reports, which are still ongoing.
How the reports are used:
These reports are tabled and discussed by the ExCo at quarterly meetings with follow-up by the ExCo Regional Representative.

1. ACTIVITY: Summary of activity within your NCSC over the last quarter. If there has not been much activity in the last quarter, you may consider including any projects you are working on, issues your NCSC is facing, discussions or growth with which you may like support. | Due to the pandemic, the freedom of movement inter provinces is extremely limited. The sporting events have been very limited at the amateur level. Only professional leagues have been active with restrictions. Recently I have been taking care of the Turkish national springboard and platform diving team. The head coach and the director of the team is my patient and he greatly values chiropractic care. Under his supervision, the team attended the European diving Championships for the first time in their history over summer 2021 in Croatia. Also very recently 5 members of the team made the cut-off points to attend the World Diving Championships. I look forward to attending the team as long as I can. I seek to further strengthen relationships using this opportunity. |
CHALLENGES: List any challenges which your NCSC are facing, or your Executives are working to solve. (List N/A if none at this stage) | There are four challenges I'd like to make note of. The second challenge is some of the graduates of the Bahcesehir University Masters in Chiropractic Sciences program do show interest however they are also discouraged to join the NCSC because the program is not accredited by ECCE just yet and that they really won't be getting much in return if they should become members. The third challenge would of financial issues. The Turkish currency to Euro, US dollars, and Swiss Franc isn't encouraging. Those who show interest are undermined by status and money well-spent dilemmas. The fourth challenge would be the lack of national chiropractic regulation and very restricted space to practice discourages those to spend extra dollars investing in knowledge and memberships but not being able to fully make use of it. |
Part II: Areas where FICS and your NCSC could collaborate | |
COLLABORATION: College/Educational Institution with which you have / or are developing relationships with. (If applicable) | I am the coordinator of the masters in chiropractic sciences program at the Bahcesehir University of Istanbul. It is a program recognized by the WFC and listed under their directory. I also currently teach there. A colloboration maybe considered between FICS, myself and these institutions. |
EVENTS/GAMES: Any contacts you have with International Sporting Federations. Do you need any help from FICS to organise contact with holders of regional/international games? (If applicable) | Actually, this would be very beneficial for those developing nations and regions. I personally would like to consider this as a project with ISF commission to assist those regions develop. |
COLLABORATION: List any major events/conferences which you have coming up and a event link so FICS can co-promote. (If applicable) | none |
OPPORTUNITIES: List any opportunities which you may like FICS to help support or promote. (If applicable) | See above |
FOLLOW-UP: Please select any followup you are interested in. FICS will get the respective Commission Chair or your Regional Rep to contact you. (If applicable) | Education: Interesting in hosting an ICSC Seminar |
