Indian Hockey Federation (IHF) calls for a press conference in Delhi on Thursday 30th August.
IHF president announced to the media that they are ready to cooperate with Indian Olympic Association (IOA) only if, in return they get to appoint independent members in committee which will solve the miss-understandings between IHF and Hockey India (HI).
IHF want Independent members in the committee, someone equal to a renowned Sports Person or a retired Judge of The Supreme Court, who are capable of taking wise and unbiased decisions. The current committee consists of G.S. Mander, who is also the vice-president of IOA, which disbanded IHF. Therefore this was the basic reason of IHF for not supporting IOA Committee.
The issue of indian team poor performane in london olympics also raised in press conference, Dhanraj Pillay, M.P Ganesh, Joaquim Carvalho, M.P Singh, Romeo James, Rajpal Singh and Hrender Singh all the eminent hockey players of India are worried about the future of Indian hockey.
Harender Singh said that ' The indian team which played in olympic is not the real Indian Hockey team, its Hockey India team'. Also they questioned the selection of this particular team for Olympic.
'Some best player of India not selected in team just because they have played in world Series Hockey (WSH) of IHF and that effected the olympic team performance ' Dhanraj Pillay added.
Hockey India and International Hockey Fedration are responsible for the disastrous performance of Indian hockey team in Olympic, Federation of International Hockey (FIH) banned Indian player who played WSH and in other hand why did they not banned to the Pakistani hockey players who played in WSH and also went to Olympics as their team member.
WSH and IHF have also given the list of player who perform well in WSH to HI but they not pick any of them in olympic team, if they want India to perform well in olympic they should pic the best player of India no matter they played WSH or not.

today's hockey needs strength and stamina, which the indians do not have. they like their liquor instead. what the country has to do is recruit children from the age of 5 and feed them lot of protein mostly meat. then teach them to play not old fashion hockey but the european hockey whcich rejects the stickwork butuse muscle and spped. there is no other way to improve indian hockey. i am an old athelete . i have watched the indian olympic teams for 50 years. so this is the order of the day to improve the team.
