Hockey the Game

A visit to St. Joseph’s Indian High School at Museum Road I had witnessed hockey training organised here. I was really stunned by the immense talents the boys of this school had displayed & by the coaches imparting various skills of hockey to these young lads. I had really learnt a lot about Hockey only now. The scoop, how to aim at the goal from different angles and how to pass the ball while nearing the goal. The coaches’ advice to the goalkeepers was not to fall while saving a goal as this may prove to be an advantage for the opposing team. The goalkeepers were too good at their tasks. My best wishes for them and also for their future endeavours. We as spectators/audiences think it is very easy to play Hockey but today I did learn that been a hockey player is not an easy task at all. We do have lots of talents and we must give these young lads a lot of opportunities so that they could prove themselves in the years to come. There are some youths who believe in hard work and in serving the nation but there are other intelligent youths who believe mainly in accumulating more and more ‘ Money’ on hand and also believe in whiling away their time by indulging in a lot of mischievous deeds.
