Determined to improve and find spot in India’s team for Olympics, says Udita

Indian women’s hockey team player Udita, who is still finding her feet on the international stage, has expressed that she is determined to utilise the next few months to become a much better forward and make it to the team which will be travelling to Tokyo next year for the Olympics.

“The next few months are very crucial for me as I have a chance to improve drastically and possibly make it to the Indian Olympic team. I am continuously speaking to our coaches and senior players about the aspects I should improve in order to improve as a forward,” said Udita.

“I haven’t made a huge mark in the international circuit yet and I am very determined to change that. It’s been really great to be back on the pitch after a long break. I have a chance to hone my skills in the upcoming months. We are very grateful and thankful to Hockey India for putting the procedures in place at the right time so that we could come back to the pitch and improve as players,” she added.

The 22-year-old further said she has enjoyed watching the FIH Pro League matches since the tournament resumed in September. The forward said she particularly learned a lot from the close encounter between the Netherlands and Great Britain in the FIH Hockey Pro League on Tuesday.
