Kolkata: Indian Arrows head coach Venkatesh Shanmugam stated that the quarantine period has made his player mentally stronger and shared how the team is organising various activities to keep the players active.
He said, "Having to stay confined to a room can take a toll and all the players being young as well makes it difficult for sure but it is something that has to be done. No doubt, the experience is making the boys mentally tougher and also helping us grow together as a team. We have gone through quarantine before as well and once it is over, I am confident that all the players will be hungry to begin training and be determined to give their best."
Venkatesh further added, "We are having daily fitness sessions over video conferencing, where players can also interact with each other. We have given one football each in every room and are organising small activities like juggling competitions, etc. The players have been told to minimise the time they spend on their beds."
