After topping the points table in the inaugural season before narrowly missing out in the final, JSW Soorma Hockey Club will head into the second season of the Women\u2019s HIL determined to go one step further as they mount another serious title challenge.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Co-captain Salima Tete says the team has drawn strength from how last season shaped them. \u201cThis season is about courage, not caution. We showed what we\u2019re capable of when we stay together. We know what we\u2019re capable of, and that gives us freedom. The plan is to trust our instincts and compete honestly in every moment.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Co-captain and goalkeeper Savita Punia believes early matches reveal a team\u2019s true character. \u201cThe first game is never about perfection. It\u2019s about habits; how you defend as a unit, how you talk to each other under pressure, and how quickly you reset after a mistake. If we stay calm and connected, the results will follow.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
