Taking care of minds and adaptability the key, says Manpreet Singh as India hunt for elusive 4th Asian Games hockey gold

Hindustan Times  

Indian men's hockey's incredible domination in the Olympics is well documented - the team won all six gold medals on offer between the 1928 and 1956 Games and then went on to win two more in 1964 and 1980. India's third gold medal win came at Incheon 2014, which was seen as an indicator of the team's stock getting back to near the top of the international table. Three years later though, Manpreet would be among the players beaming away on the podium in Tokyo as India won an Olympic medal in hockey for the first time 1980. However, they still had a major hiccup in the form of the stunning early exit from the 2023 Hockey World Cup which led to Graham Reid resigning as the team's head coach. Harendra Singh, who had won silver at the 1990 Asian Games as a player, was leading the team in Jakarta whereas it is South African Craig Fulton who is helming the team this time.
