Re: How to change the national game?
One austro turf is not sufficient enough. BTW if you recall , our down fall started from that time when Austro turf was introduced.
I my self been hockey player and know very well howdifficult it is for a street player like me to make adjustment in the game from natural grounds to Austro … With Austro turf, fitness is much more important than skills. Definitely Europeans and koreans are much fit ( as a nation then us )
Further from where a street player will bring shoes for turf which will be weard off with in few months of play. As mentioned above hockey is no more for poor countries.
If our limited resources are spend on selected skilled players than definitely we can produce better results than today but I dont see old glory days coming back
