According to Sardar along with having the Good Skills its very important to have a good Fitness.He Says "If you are skillful, but not fit, then you can’t show your skills on the field. Our coach Oltmans, and before him David John (physio) and Michael Nobbs (former coach), they all focused on fitness. During our classes there is a lot of talk about the importance of being fit. In a 60-minute game, you cannot show your skills unless you are fit by modern hockey standards. Training is very important. We have a lot of running and weight training sessions with our coaches and trainers."
Sardar says that Sports is a Great Intervention to safeguard our Youth from falling to Drugs
"I also think that if it wasn’t for hockey, maybe, I could have fallen for it (drugs) too. When you talk about drugs, I think sports can be a great intervention. As children, we would go to the ground in the morning and come back exhausted. We just went to sleep then. We didn’t have the time to think about anything else. So definitely, more avenues for sports should be introduced in the state. In Punjab, we get to hear about it (drug problem) a lot. I think the government is doing some good work. The youth should stay away from all these things."
