INTERVIEW | India needs to do well in the first three matches in Paris: Herman Kruis

The Hindu  

As Hockey India’s High Performance Director, Herman Kruis is on a mission to develop Indian coaches. On the India men’s team’s chances at the Paris Olympics, the Dutch said there are 6-7 teams that are medal contenders, and it is imperative that India wins its first three matches and gets a head start before it thinks of winning a medal. The Indian men’s team at the Junior World Cup finished fourth while the women’s team ninth. When I visit Academies across India, I see the need to improve Indian coaches.
