Un o\u2019r Aelodau a Urddwyd yn Neuadd Enwogion Chwaraeon Cymru \u2013 David Phelps<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

David Phelps<\/strong> wedi treulio mwy na dwy ddegawd ym myd tawel, disgybledig saethu reifflau elitaidd, camp lle mae llwyddiant yn cael ei fesur mewn ffracsiynau o filimetrau a gall y gwahaniaeth rhwng buddugoliaeth ac anhysbysrwydd fod y cryndod lleiaf. Ddydd Iau 25 Mehefin, cydnabuwyd yr oes honno o gywirdeb, gwydnwch a gwasanaeth wrth iddo gael ei sefydlu yn Neuadd Enwogion Chwaraeon Cymru, gan ymuno \u00e2 rhestr anrhydedd a gedwir ar gyfer ffigurau chwaraeon mwyaf dylanwadol y genedl, fel Syr Gareth Edwards, Colin Jackson, y Fonesig Tanni Grey-Thompson a Barry John.<\/p>\n

Gyrfa wedi'i hadeiladu ar gywirdeb a dyfalbarhad<\/h3>\n

\"\"Dechreuodd taith Davids yng Nghaerdydd, lle darganfu saethu gyntaf yn ei arddegau. Yr hyn a ddilynodd oedd gyrfa a ddiffiniwyd gan hirhoedledd a rhagoriaeth. Mae wedi cynrychioli Prydain Fawr gartref a thramor, gan gynrychioli T\u00eem Dewar Prydain Fawr saith gwaith a chystadlu dros Brydain Fawr mewn pedair Pencampwriaeth Ewropeaidd a saith Cwpan y Byd. Daeth ei ddatblygiad arloesol, a'i foment o falchder mwyaf, yng Ngemau'r Gymanwlad 2006 ym Melbourne, lle enillodd aur yn y reiffl 50m ar y prone, perfformiad a'i cyhoeddodd fel un o'r saethwyr gorau a gynhyrchwyd gan Gymru erioed, ac efydd yn y parau reiffl 50m ar y prone. Ddeuddeg mlynedd yn ddiweddarach, yn Arfordir Aur 2018, ailadroddodd y gamp, gan sicrhau ail aur a smentio ei etifeddiaeth fel pencampwr y Gymanwlad ddwywaith.
\nNid dim ond medalau oedd y buddugoliaethau hynny; roeddent yn gynnyrch blynyddoedd o hyfforddiant manwl, meistrolaeth dechnegol, a gallu diysgog i berfformio o dan bwysau. Mewn camp lle mae'r ymylon yn ficrosgopig, roedd David yn gyson yn dod o hyd i ffordd i godi uwchlaw iddynt.<\/p>\n

O athletwr i bensaer y genhedlaeth nesaf\"\"<\/h3>\n

Ni wnaeth ymddeoliad o gystadlaethau elitaidd yn 2018 nodi diwedd ar ei ddylanwad, os o gwbl, fe'i hehangodd. Fel hyfforddwr reiffl Llwybr Perfformiad Saethu Cymru, mae bellach yn llunio dyfodol y gamp yng Nghymru. Mae ei hyfforddi yn cyfuno cywirdeb technegol \u00e2 dealltwriaeth ddofn o ofynion seicolegol cystadleuaeth, gan helpu athletwyr ifanc i lywio'r un pwysau ag yr oedd ef ar un adeg yn ei wynebu.
\nMae cydweithwyr yn ei ddisgrifio fel rhywun tawel, dadansoddol, ac awdurdodol yn dawel, y math o hyfforddwr a all weld nam yn safle saethwr o bob cwr o'r ystod neu gynnig un frawddeg sy'n newid trywydd perfformiad.<\/p>\n

Buddugoliaeth nodedig ar y llwyfan rhyngwladol<\/h3>\n

\"\"Yn 2025, ychwanegodd David bennod newydd at ei CV hyfforddi pan arweiniodd D\u00eem NSRA Roberts i'w buddugoliaeth gyntaf dros yr Unol Daleithiau mewn 16 mlynedd. Mae G\u00eam Roberts, cystadleuaeth reiffl bach hanesyddol sy'n dyddio'n \u00f4l i 1931, yn un o gemau rhyngwladol mwyaf mawreddog y gamp. I'r t\u00eem Prydeinig, roedd torri'r rhediad buddugol hir Americanaidd yn fwy na chanlyniad, roedd yn ddatganiad.
\nRhoddodd athletwyr glod i baratoad manwl Davids, ei eglurder strategol, a'i arweinyddiaeth gyson fel ffactorau pendant. Iddo ef, roedd yn foment o falchder nid yn unig am y fuddugoliaeth ei hun, ond am yr hyn a gynrychiolodd, sef adfywiad rhagoriaeth Brydeinig mewn disgyblaeth y mae wedi ymroi ei fywyd iddi.<\/p>\n

Llais i athletwyr y tu hwnt i'r ystod<\/h3>\n

Mae ymrwymiad Davids i chwaraeon yn ymestyn i lywodraethu ac eiriolaeth athletwyr. Fel aelod o Gomisiwn Athletwyr Gemau'r Gymanwlad Cymru, mae'n cyfrannu at lunio polisi, gwella lles athletwyr, a sicrhau bod gan gystadleuwyr ar draws pob camp lais yn y penderfyniadau sy'n effeithio arnynt. Mae'n r\u00f4l sy'n adlewyrchu ei athroniaeth ehangach, nad yw chwaraeon yn ymwneud \u00e2 pherfformiad yn unig, ond \u00e2'r strwythurau, y cyfleoedd, a'r systemau cymorth sy'n caniat\u00e1u i athletwyr ffynnu.<\/p>\n

Etifeddiaeth sy'n deilwng o Neuadd yr Enwogion<\/h3>\n

Mae ei gyflwyno i Neuadd Enwogion Chwaraeon Cymru yn fwy na dathliad o fedalau. Mae'n cydnabod bywyd chwaraeon cyflawn; athletwr, hyfforddwr, mentor, eiriolwr. Mae David wedi dylanwadu ar saethu Cymru ar bob lefel, o ddatblygiad gwaelodol i bodiymau rhyngwladol, ac mae ei effaith yn parhau i ymestyn allan drwy'r athletwyr y mae'n eu hyfforddi a'r systemau y mae'n helpu i'w llunio.
\nI ddyn a adeiladodd ei yrfa ar dawelwch a llonyddwch, mae ei etifeddiaeth yn siarad yn uchel<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
