'If You Work Hard, No One Can Stop You': Salima Tete's Inspiring Message On Women's Day
FIH Hockey Women: Ahead of International Women’s Day, the Indian women’s hockey captain Salima Tete shared an inspiring message for young girls, urging them to dream big and break barriers in whichever discipline they are. Salima’s journey from a small village in Jharkhand to the international stage is a testament to her grit and determination. She first caught the nation’s attention when she captained the Indian junior team to a silver medal at the 2018 Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires.
“In some places, girls do not get much support. My parents support me a lot, and I want to tell girls to do everything openly and without fear. It is said that people from villages cannot do much, but that is not true. If you work hard, no one can stop you from moving forward,” Salima told IANS in a virtual interaction from her home town Simdega.
Her remarkable rise continued, making her only the second player from Jharkhand, after Nikki Pradhan, to represent India at the Olympics. Over the years, she has become a key figure in Indian women’s hockey, playing a crucial role in several major tournaments.
