Men’s hockey team is relatively well-balanced in comparison to women’s, which is developing: Sarpal Singh

The Hindu  

At 93, Sarpal Singh continues to impart knowledge on a sport he once played. The veteran hockey player and coach to over a dozen Olympians and Indian hockey internationals, has made several significant contributions to Punjab’s hockey culture. With the Indian men’s hockey team securing its spot at the Paris 2024 Olympics by winning gold at the Asian Games in Hangzhou and the women’s team narrowly missing out on the Olympic spot, Singh emphasised to Sportstar the importance of coaching and creating a ‘complete player’ in the Indian setup, calling it the need of the hour. Even Indian women’s hockey is improving to some extent but is yet to come on par with other countries in terms of physical fitness and techniques. As opposed to the USA and Germany women’s teams who are reasonably good in physical fitness due to astroturf facility and coaching, our team is still growing.
