Indian hockey has entered a key preparation phase as the national team starts focusing on high-intensity fitness training, match readiness, and stronger team coordination ahead of upcoming international challenges. Officials close to the setup said the coaching group is working on fresh combinations, improving finishing in crucial moments, and sharpening defensive structure during fast-paced games.
The Indian camp is also giving special attention to young talents, with selectors closely monitoring performances to build a balanced squad that can handle pressure in major tournaments. With the hockey calendar expected to stay busy, the focus remains on improving consistency, reducing errors, and building a team that can compete strongly against top-ranked nations.
Sports analysts believe this phase is important for India’s long-term goal of returning to the top level in world hockey, as disciplined preparation and regular international exposure will play a crucial role in the months ahead.
