The job of the fans is to help their team win but even in defeat they should continue to support their team. In India, we dont have this character - we get overjoyed when the team wins, we abuse them when they lose. Scoeity should laugh at these fair weather fans.
Another point, we need sponsors for lower level games - like college games. Those are the ones who can do with facilities. Money will come anyway to the national players. This is another thing we can learn from the west.
We not only need good coaches...the coach who understands each player and their movements, but also a sports psychologist who can help the coach understand the mind of each player and the opponent's GAME PLAN.
Only advertisements and prestige boosting documentaries featuring India as a team winning....does not make sense...does not motivate players who have to perform on the field......they need 1 to 1 counseling and the guts & grit to fight the psychological warfare on the field and dressing rooms. By those TV commercials, we the people of India (I wont call citizens) get excited (not motivated) and start expecting more than what our players can deliver...and when they cant...we get into critical politics.
I have a scientific way of dealing with this kind of Player Performance Psychology. Lets give our players an environment to excel and then we can desire from them.
Ever heard of the Erricson-Rylo therapy?? Well, this was the historic Psycotherapy which the British Football Academy deployed with the help of renowned Swiss Coach from Italy - Erricson and the Sport Psychologist - Rylo. This was done to revive the English Football team with talents like Bechkam, Roonie, Owen etc when they were defeated by Germany to qualify for the World Cup under the Managership of Kevin Keegan (himself a world cup player for England).

You seem to be saying exactly what Ric Ericcson said in a TV interview. He would have liked to help the Indian Hockey team but the IHF said no. He also pointed out that the IHF always takes a short term view whereas a long term plan is called for.

I donno who said what...as I dont watch TV, rather dont have time for that. But yes Nirpinder.....we need a long term plan....to revive the player's thought process.
