Amit Rohidas lays focus on fitness ahead of busy season

Talking about a busy season ahead, Rohidas said that it's important for the team to stay on top of their fitness level. "We are working really hard in the ongoing camp with the focus being on fitness, building our core, and improving our agility. It is a busy year of hockey and it's important we remain fresh from tournament-to-tournament and emphasis is also on a good recovery process to avoid small injuries," added the hockey ace from Sundargarh, Odisha.

Following their FIH Hockey Pro League games in London and Eindhoven which ends in June, the Indian Team will return home to prepare for the Hero Asian Champions Trophy at home in Chennai this August followed by the Hangzhou Asian Games 2023. "No doubt it's going to be an exciting period for hockey with major tournaments coming up. After the Asiad, we will commence the next season of Pro League and then there's the Hockey 5's World Cup as well so in that sense, there is a lot of hockey coming up right until the Paris Olympics." 

Speaking about his own performance, Rohidas said, "I was rested after the FIH Odisha Hockey World Cup 2023 Bhubaneswar-Rourkela which was good for me. I played some domestic hockey here in Bengaluru and also got to spend some quality time back home. I have come back to the camp feeling fresh both mentally and physically. Now I am just looking forward to the upcoming season," he signed off.
