The Hockey teams are playing on 6August.

AWSUM Interview with Calvin Beck Union 1^st team hockey coach.

What can the school and parents expect from your team this year at Interschools?

Our plan is to make the hockey as exciting and entertaining as possible, our team’s focus will be on high tempo on attack and composure on defense.

Where is your strength as a team?

We believe that our strength comes from our Unity – it’s only if we play as a team that we can achieve our goals. As a coach, the focus will be on creating as many counter attacks as possible, similar to my favorite national teams: Argentina and Belgium.

What is the most difficult part of coaching a school team?

Coaching a school team is always challenging, you have to manage your players both physically and mentally. It’s my job to help them achieve and believe in the impossible. As a coach you get people with different backgrounds and different upbringings and it is my job to put the puzzles together.
