In India, we often play 70-minute matches, not 60, but the principle is the same: hockey is brutally demanding. A player sprinting the full time would be finished by halftime. My own training drills, running in the Kolhapur heat with a sack of sand on my back, taught me that true stamina is about explosive bursts followed by strategic recovery. The game is a series of calculated sprints, not one long run—that's what makes it so beautiful.
