Some Lesser Known Facts About Sukhjeet Singh
He talked about how his father, a former Punjab police hockey player, introduced him to hockey and taught him the basics of hockey in an interview, and said,
My father had a big hockey stick. My father cut that big stick and gave it to me when I was about four or five years old. My father would come home from work and take me to the ground to teach me hockey.
After learning the basics from his father, Sukhjeet was enrolled in a hockey academy in Chandigarh, where he trained for 7 years.
In 2018, he was selected in the list of probable players to play for India.
However, he missed the opportunity as he got paralysed on the right side of his body after one of his nerves got pinched during the physiotherapy and acupuncture session.
It took him 6 months of continuous treatment to be able to stand properly.
Slowly he started strength training and weight training with the focus of getting back to playing hockey.
In November 2019, he helped Punjab National Bank (PNB) to win the Senior Nehru Hockey Tournament in New Delhi.
In December 2021, his performance helped PNB win the bronze medal at the Inter-Departmental National Championship in Bengaluru and earned him a place in the Indian team.
He enjoys working out in the gym.
