With Sports In Her Blood, Jyoti Singh, Daughter Of An International Athlete, Aims To Forge A Legacy Of Her Own
Junior World Cup City: Born in Jhansi, 21-year-old Jyoti Singh is already making waves in Indian hockey. The youngster has already shown her credentials in her brief career so far, captaining India at the FIH Hockey Women's Junior World Cup City of Santiago 2025. She also made her senior debut last year, featuring in four matches of the FIH Hockey Pro League 2024/25 (Women), including a remarkable win against World No. 1, the Netherlands, a performance that highlighted her readiness for the biggest stage.
Jyoti’s journey with sports started at a very young age, when she visited training grounds with her father, who was an international long distance runner. However, it was her cousin sister who inspired her to pick up the hockey stick at the age of 11.
Reflecting on her journey so far, Jyoti shared, “Sports runs in my family. My father was an international athlete, so I’d go to the ground with him to do some running, and also play some badminton. However, it was my cousin sister who inspired me to play hockey. She was part of the senior academy. Whenever she would come home for summer vacations, I would spend time with her and want to be like her.”
