💨 Abstract

Indian women’s hockey team captain Salima Tete emphasized that fitness is the team's primary focus. Coach Harendra Singh, who took charge in April 2024, underscores the importance of fitness, strength, and speed. The team’s recent tour to Australia, where they faced world No. 5, highlighted areas for improvement, particularly in finishing. Despite losing the series 1-2, Salima noted valuable lessons learned, including resilience and rectifying mistakes.
