Be careful about the stories you tell yourself on difficult days. Exhaustion can sound like failure. Loneliness can sound like rejection. Fear can sound like truth. Wait until you are rested before believing every thought you think.
Laughter is anti-inflammatory. Crying is regulating. Hugging is immunoprotective. Singing is vagal toning. Dancing is neurogenic.
Joy is a biological necessity.
Horrified by the absolute apathy at @HospitalsApollo GIDC Ahmedabad. An acquaintance was admitted to the ICU in critical condition. At 8 PM, his wife & their infant—visiting the city for the first time—were rudely forced out of the waiting lounge. 1/5 #ApolloAhmedabad
Charging lakhs per day but evicting critical care attendants? If doctor needs to make a life-saving decision in the middle of the night, how will they connect if attendant is not immediately present ? This severely compromises patient treatment quality! 4/5 #MedicalNegligence
When the Hockey India president offered me the “development team,” I asked a few simple questions:
Do we really have a development team?
Who are the players in this development group?
What is the structure of the program?
What camps are approved for them?
What tournaments are they preparing for?
There were no answers to any of these questions.
And about goalkeeper coaching… after winning a Junior World Cup bronze medal as chief coach, making me a goalkeeper coach again — is that considered a promotion or a demotion?
4 teams.
6 foreign coaches.
3 foreign strength & conditioning coaches.
1 foreign video analyst.
2 foreign goalkeeper coaches (visiting).
1 foreign sports psychologist (visiting).
Lucky that at least we still have 1 Indian coach in each team 🙏( as per the hockey india app )
Junior team is already taken.
Maybe now it’s time for U18 too.
Sardar Singh and Rani Rampal are doing a great job, but maybe the president feels they are still “not experienced enough” or “qualified enough” to coach Indian teams.
So can we expect more foreign coaches there as well ??
