Jugraj Singh, who was once acknowledged as India ’s drag flick wonder, is back in news. This time he is in the headlines, not as a player but as a coach.
Hockey India has decided to utilize his talent for grooming, nurturing and polishing some of the promising drag flickers the country has for the coming international events in general and the CWG and Asian games in particular.
Jugraj Singh reported for the national camp at Pune where he has been put in command of training of drag flickers, including former skipper Sandeep Singh. Though the Indian team has gone to Ipoh to defend its Raja Azlan Shah Cup title, some of the probables for the Commonwealth games and the Asian games to be held later this year, are continuing their training at the national camp. Some of the players rested for the Ipoh tournament are training at Pune.
“Yes, I joined the camp yesterday;” confirmed Jugraj Singh saying that he has accepted this challenging assignment as “ India has some of the talented and brightest drag flickers. All they need is some personal attention and finishing,” adds Jugraj Singh.
