Shanmugam has been associated with the Jude Felix  Hockey Academy in Bangalore since its inception and Senthil Kumar has  been a player of note on the domestic front. <\/p>\n<p>The coaches will  play critical roles in getting their teams up to speed for the  tournament as they will also double up as sounding boards for the Head  Coach besides ensuring effective implementation of game plans and  tactics.<\/p>\n<p>Ashish Ballal, the Mumbai team coach and a member of the  1998 Asian Games gold medal winning Indian team, said, \u201cThese are  exciting times for Indian hockey. The Draft system, for instance, is a  fantastic concept and it has ensured that all the teams are well matched  and balanced in terms of talent and potential. This alone will ensure  some exciting hockey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPersonally, I am looking forward to my  tenure with Andrew Meredith who is a tech freak. It is a fantastic  opportunity for not just me to learn and for the youngsters in the side  to get a feel of international hockey. The fact that each team has  support staff like a physio, video analyst besides others, is itself a  big step forward for Indian hockey.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Karl Da Costa, Deputy  General Manager, Nimbus Sport, said: \u201cThe highly professional support  staff is evidence of how serious we are in our commitment to hockey. It  is our intention to provide quality leadership to each of the franchise  teams while the young Indian players will definitely benefit from this  professional environment that will also help them lift their performance  level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Mumbai: <\/strong>The World Series Hockey will not only contribute to  enhancement of the profile of hockey in India, but also provide a highly  professional environment and leadership to each of the eight franchise  teams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-hockey-hockey"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>World-class support staff for WSH Teams - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
