Here’s another coach of an Indian sports team who feels that Indian players are among the fittest in the world. Coach of India women’s football team, Maymol Rocky, believes her girls can match foreign players when it comes to fitness on the field.
“This batch of girls can play 90 minutes without tiring, and if needed, even the extra 30. Better speed, reflexes, and stamina — that is what we are stressing on. It allows us to defend with numbers, and move the ball faster in attack,” she explained.
@maymolrocky says "We fight for every Women footballer in the nation, and hope we are able to kick off a new revolution in the nation, where every girl that wants to play football is not told to keep his attention but not encouraged to follow her goals!

The coach thanks GPS technology for the improvement in fitness of her team.
“The player tracking system (GPS) helps us to understand the players, and monitor their heart rate and work load. Through that we understand how much workload the player is undergoing. They also help to develop conditioning drills that help the players in general fitness.”
Diet also plays a major key role in fitness, and conditioning, says the coach Too much carbohydrates can lead to bloating and stiffness. They have a diet plan for each player and the players follow the diet accordingly.
