India men's hockey team defender and drag-flicker Harmanpreet Singh is eager to watch the FIH Hockey Pro League matches, which will resume on September 22 in Germany, as it will provide insights into the variations and combinations the European teams will display.The league will recommence with powerhouses Germany and Belgium facing-off against each other."Both these teams are really good and of course we are eager to watch them play and we will be following these matches closely because it will give us insights into their variations, any new combinations they are using," the drag-flicker said from the on-going National Coaching Camp in SAI, Bengaluru.Harmanpreet, who captained India to victory at the FIH in Tokyo last year, feels the Indian team has plenty of time to return to their formidable form and watching these FIH Pro League matches will help them implement changes to their tactics and be prepared before they begin their campaign in the tournament in April next year."I feel we have enough time to prepare. Since we will be following these teams closely, we will be able to make timely implements into our game," said Harmanpreet.He further added that the coaching staff had been ensuring that the players maintain their fitness levels over the past five months when training and coaching activities were halted due to nation-wide lockdowns and will be a key factor to bounce back."The good thing that happened during the past five months was the coaching staff particularly our Scientific Advisor Robin Arkel kept a close watch on our fitness and diet. Even when we were on a break, we had a schedule to follow. I think these factors will help us bounce back," added the defender.He recently took part in an online webinar where the drag-flicker interacted with over 50 students and faculty members of a University in Gandhinagar, Gujarat."It was the first time I was doing something like this online. I enjoyed sharing my knowledge about the game with the students. They had many questions on shaping and nurturing talent from the age of 12-13 years of age and they were also keen on understanding how one adapts to playing on synthetic turf after being used to grass surface," recalled Harmanpreet who engaged in this online activity on Major Dhyanchand's 115th birth centenary on Saturday."The session was interactive and I was particularly happy to know that the students followed our team's performances closely," he added.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
