Following the disheartening relegation of the Indian women’s hockey team from the Pro League, chief coach Harendra Singh has spoken candidly about the areas needing improvement. While acknowledging the disappointment of the outcome, he believes this setback presents a crucial opportunity for the team to reset, reassess, and come back stronger.

Time Management and Mental Toughness: Key Focus Areas

Singh pinpointed two critical areas for development: time management and what he termed “soft PCs,” referring to the mental aspect of the game. He stressed the importance of players effectively managing their time both on and off the field to maximize training and recovery. Furthermore, he highlighted the need for enhanced mental toughness to handle the pressures of international competition.

A Chance for Growth and Rebuilding
