Dream if you have the will to fight, work hard and realise them. For Chandigarh lad Harjit Singh, it has been a classic case of dedication and skill combining to form a success story. Harjit, who is a product of the Chandigarh Hockey Academy, has made it to the Dhaka-bound senior hockey team for the SAF Cup.

His coach Jasbir Singh Bajwa said, “Harjit is a very talented boy, with a very flexible body, which helps him in making acrobatic saves. He has never wavered off his aim and it is ultimately that single-minded focus, which has led to his selection. I am extremely proud of him and have very high hopes from him. This is just the beginning, and with more hard work, he will reach greater glory soon.”

A student of B.A. Part-I at SGGS College, Chandigarh, Harjit is not resting on laurels and realises that he will have to work extremely hard to keep his place in the side. “I know that this is a big step for me, but I also know that I need to stay focused. I want to train harder than before to ensure that my dream of doing well at the international stage is fulfilled. As of now, I am just thinking about playing my part in winning Gold for India at the SAF Cup.”
