I love hockey, so I am surviving: Shivendra
The Hindu
Asian Champions Trophy
CHENNAI
Shivendra Singh was a flamboyant striker and a natural crowd-puller in his heyday. With over 160 Internationals and around 80 strikes to his credit, he was one of the finest goal-scorers for India.
Now, as part of the coaching staff of the Indian hockey team at the Asian Champions Trophy here, Shivendra’s role is multi-fold. Apart from the coaching duties, the 40-year-old is the manager, and at times, the goalkeeping coach too.
“At the moment, I am enjoying it. I love hockey. So I am surviving,” Shivendra told The Hindu. “I teach the players the knack of scoring goals, how to receive the ball, how to score from rebounds. In fact, I explain to them everything.”
Shivendra said he has been actively coaching the goalkeepers for the past one year.
“I am learning from them [goalkeepers]. I practice with P.R. Sreejesh every day. Also, I have worked in special camps for ’keepers. Recently, we had a camp with goalkeeping coach Dennis van de Pol of Netherlands.”
