India’s Bronze Medal Feat In 2020 Tokyo Olympics Motivated Me, Says Indian Jr Men’s Hockey Team Defender Amandeep Lakra
Sharing his excitement for the prestigious event, he reflected on his journey as a young player and being inspired by Hockey India president Dilip Tirkey, a former India Captain and one of India's greatest defenders. Dilip is also India's most-capped player. "As an aspiring player, I had the opportunity to meet the legendary Dilip Tirkey, who told me that he used to work out for four hours a day," he said, before adding, “He also advised us to be hardworking and focused in our efforts to become good players. His words inspired me, and I began making similar efforts. I started out at Panposh Sports Academy, but after my father was transferred, I had to stop playing."
He also stated that he is impressed by the drag-flicking abilities of current India Captain Harmanpreet Singh. "Watching him train closely here in SAI Bengaluru, I get to learn a lot from him and his on-field focus and style," Amandeep said.
