No more part-time training as fitness takes centre stage in national squad

KUALA LUMPUR: Part-time sessions have led to half-hearted training by the national hockey players, who now lack fitness. 

To arrest the problem, the National Sports Council (NSC) and the Malaysian Hockey Federation (MHF) have agreed to have full training from June, much like they did for the 1998 Commonwealth Games and the 2002 World Cup.
