India’s Drag-flickers Credit Taekema-led Specialised Camp For Contributing To Nations Cup Success
Nations Cup New Zealand: After lifting the FIH Hockey Women's Nations Cup 2025-26 in New Zealand, members of the Indian women's hockey team's drag-flicking unit have credited the specialised training camp conducted by Dutch legend Taeke Taekema, whose expertise proved to be a key factor behind their improved penalty-corner execution through the tournament.
Taekema, one of the finest drag-flickers in world hockey history, joined the Indian team during their preparatory tour of Australia in May and continued working with the squad's drag-flickers through their time in New Zealand ahead of the Nations Cup, under its chief coach Sjoerd Marijne.
As a result of their hard work in the camps, India scored 13 goals from penalty corners through the FIH Hockey Women's Nations Cup New Zealand 2025-26. Deepika finished as the tournament's joint-top scorer with six goals, all of them converted from penalty corners.
