Bangalore: Injured Indian hockey custodian PR Sreejesh said Tuesday that sharing experiences with the youngsters will not only benefit them but will also enable him in honing his skills further.
Sreejesh, who sustained a knee injury during this year’s Azlan Shah Cup and has been out of action for past five months, is on his way to complete recovery and has joined his teammates at the SAI Centre here Wednesday, to continue his rehabilitation process.
“I think it’s important for me to share my experiences with the younger players and give them feedback on their performances. By this, I can improve my game and learn new things as well. When I come back on the field, I will know where I need to improve upon,” Sreejesh stated.
Sreejesh has been helping the youngsters in the national camp, something that will benefit young goalkeepers like Akash Chikte and Suraj Karkera in the upcoming Asia Cup in Dhaka. The 29-year-old goalkeeper looked in good spirits on his comeback and said, “It feels good to be back and starting some light training with my teammates.”
Sreejesh expressed confidence about India’s improvements under the new chief coach Sjoerd Marijne, who has replaced sacked Roelant Oltmans. “With a new coach in place now, this team will take a new direction. I am sure all the players are looking forward for better results,” he signed off.
