After Oly bronze, Fulton ready for future challenges
The Morning Standard|September 04, 2024
WHEN Craig Fulton started as the head coach of the Indian men's hockey team late in April 2023, he was equipped with everything he needed to make the squad his own.

After Oly bronze, Fulton ready for future challenges

His first big assignment, the Asian Games in China, where India had the opportunity to book their direct ticket to Paris, was only four months away. Cut to the present, Fulton is almost one and a half years into his tenure with India bagging the Asian Games gold medal, winning the Asian Champions Trophy on home soil and defending their Tokyo 2020 bronze medal in Paris. Aptly, Fulton has one word to describe his time with the team: Rewarding.

"Honestly, it has been rewarding," Fulton told this daily. "We came in and didn't have a lot of time ahead of the Asian Games. We just had three to four months to select a new team and get everyone on track. We had quite a difficult time in 2024 till the Olympics because we had to face quite a lot of competitions, the same time we were still selecting our squad and trying to find our best combination. The time after (series against) Australia was difficult, but I knew we were close. It is a great reward to come out of the Games with a bronze medal," Fulton mentioned.

The ripple effect of a daydream!

The mother's voice is shrill and piercing. \"Nimish, you are such a dreamer. You need to stop this silly habit. Dreams don't pay bills. Only hard work pays off. Use this time on the flight to do some Math sums.\" The son mumbles what is not quite a reply. And in the seat behind, I pinch my AirPods to enter a quieter world—my own dream time. But I see a little nose press against the aircraft window in front and I can sense a pair of small shoulders sag.
