Chief Coach Sjoerd Marijne:  In 2020, when the former Netherlands international Janneke Schopman joined the Indian Women's Hockey Team support staff under then Chief Coach Sjoerd Marijne, the team was preparing for the Tokyo Olympics 2020 as one of the dark horses in the race to a podium finish.

Just over three years later, Janneke Schopman will be leading the Indian Women's Hockey Team as Chief Coach in the upcoming edition of the Hangzhou Asian Games, with the Indian Team tipped as the favourites for the prestigious tournament.

Schopman opened up about the team's preparations and how the players and coaching staff deal with the pressure of expectations in a candid conversation on the latest episode of Hockey Te Charcha, a podcast series launched by Hockey India.
