India men's hockey team chief coach Harendra Singh

The Indian hockey team's new chief coach Harendra Singh — just three weeks into the job — is not one to mince words or sound politically correct like some of his predecessors, most of whom were foreigners. "I realise that I was the last Indian coach of the men's team back in 2010 and after me, all have been foreign coaches. So, the pressure on me is high. But I'm not one to be bogged down by pressure. Instead, I take pleasure in pressure," Harendra told mid-day yesterday over the phone from New Delhi.
