Q. How are you coping with the lockdown?

GR: We have tried to use this period to be as productive as possible. We have had one-on-one meetings with the players and have reset all our goals. We are doing a few team bonding exercises.

We have asked the players to share stories about their life and background on videos and then we are going to make a composite video once we receive the thoughts from our players.

We will share the composite video with the team and this exercise will help all of us to get to know each other a bit better.

Our strength and conditioning staff has been doing an exceptional job. They have motivated the players to work on their fitness during this period.

Q. Can online coaching courses effectively convey the message of an outdoor game like hockey?

GR: The Hockey India level 'Basic' coaching course online has helped the players understand all the rules of the game much better. The rules of the game are really important.
