India hockey team chief coach Harendra Singh has devised some unique yet effective ways to keep his team's discipline in check both on and off the field. On field, during training, if any player commits a mistake like faulty trapping, incorrect passing etc he has to stop whatever he's doing, leave his hockey stick at the side and do 10 push-ups on the spot.
During a training session at the GBK Sports Complex here recently, when the team indulged in some 6v6 play, any team conceding a goal had to stop and do push-ups.Off the field, the punishment is even funnier. If any player is late for a meeting or misplaces something or wears improper attire, he has to wear a funny-looking rooster head-shaped hat.
