Former India hockey goalkeeper Adrian D’Souza and football vice-captain Godfrey Pereira have been busy drawing up plans throughout this COVID-19 lockdown phase on how they can give back to their respective sports. And after much discussion they have planned a week-long UK United Boot Camp
(November 7-14).
Along with brothers, Ronnie and Sunny D’Souza of UK United Sports, Adrian and Godfrey will headline a team of specialist coaches, who will train kids and adults in hockey, football and fitness as part of the boot camp at the Play Turf in Chincholi, Malad. “I’ve always been wondering how I can give back to hockey which has given me so much. So, when Ronnie approached me with this idea, I grabbed the opportunity. With the Indian hockey team winning a historic bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics, this is the perfect time to promote the game to youngsters,” 2004 Athens Olympian, Adrian, 37, told mid-day recently.
