As the FIH Pro League returns to the Birsa Munda International Hockey Stadium this February, the tactical landscape is shifting. Chief Coach Craig Fulton has pivoted toward a high-speed, transition-heavy style that demands absolute synchronization.
Today, I am releasing the #RourkelaPlaybook: 20 simulated tactical sequences designed to dismantle the world's best units. Every play begins with Gurjot at the center spot, highlighting India’s 2026 intent to dictate play from the first whistle.
The End of "Manual Drudgery"
The biggest bottleneck in modern coaching isn't a lack of
ideas—it's the repetitive manual work. Most analysts spend hours redrawing the same press structures or baseline exits on whiteboards or static PDFs.
Our portal changes that. With the Save & Load functionality, coaches can build a complex 11v11 simulation once, save it to the cloud, and reload it in seconds to test variations against different opponents. We are moving from sketching to simulating.
