The Guyana Hockey Board (GHB) received a timely boost in their preparation for the Pan America Indoor Championship, inking a six month deal with Buddy’s Gym for the strength training of the men and women teams.
Speaking at the entity’s Sheriff Street location, GHB President Phillip Fernandes said: “This is a very important occurrence for the Guyana National Hockey team, in the past we have tried our best to prepare teams with limited resources we had. We had our challenges, preparing a top hockey team requires a lot of different aspects including not just technical and tactical training but also psychological competence, also, speed and endurance training, physical strength, all these different things and therefore what we are trying to do this time around. We have an opportunity here to develop the strength and endurance of the athletes to a greater level than has happened in the past.”
