Pakistan vs Australia Olympic 2012 Hockey Match Commission Report
Lets analyze the performance of the Pakistan hockey team in the game against Australia. What led to such an abysmal failure should be learned and corrected.
Several factors I'm unsure about is the diet of the players relative to their physical performance and energy level to withstand the duration of a high intensity hockey match.
1) Diet:
From what I've heard Pakistani players were foolishly fasting. If this is true, coach, management, and players should be scolded and reprimanded. Players are not on a strict athletic diet regiment which can optimize performance, due to poor diet and fasting Pakistani team faced energy shortage much like the country.
2) Astro-Turf
To be discussed. Feel free to address point 2 and add your thoughts about this element of game play.
3) Skill
Pakistani players were not skillful enough to attain possession and attack during the game. This is a failure of coaching and practice, players were simply outclassed and failed to response to changing conditions through out the game.
4) Physique of players
Players physique is crucial, players should be lean and muscular, not bulky. Some of the players do not meet the optimal physical physique to play Olympic hockey.
5) Funds
Pakistan Hockey team needs more funding, better training, better training facility, and more.
6) New methods and techniques
New methods and techniques should be adopted to meet today's standard of Hockey, this can be facilitated by better training and facilities.
The team performed poorly and shamefully, if true the players fasted knowing they are in a competitive sport in the Olympics, such foolishness shouldn't be tolerated.
