FIH Hockey World Cup: As the Indian women’s hockey team continues its rigorous training at the national camp in Bengaluru, the focus remains firmly on skill enhancement and tactical discipline. Under the guidance of chief coach Sjoerd Marijne and scientific advisor Wayne Lombard, the 18-year-old midfielder Sakshi Rana is utilising this opportunity to sharpen her game and learn from her experienced teammates.

For Sakshi, who made a memorable senior debut last year by scoring a goal against Spain, the camp is an invaluable environment for daily growth and physical conditioning.

“Whatever things we are lacking in, they are making us work on that day by day,” Sakshi shared regarding the camp's productive atmosphere. “Wayne sir is doing a great job focusing on how much strength and fitness is needed, and teaching us the importance of recovery. As for the structure, they are explaining everything slowly and clearly. The senior players are also constantly pushing us juniors to give our absolute best.”
