Coach Craig Fulton said building trust was the key while moulding the Indian hockey team in his own philosophy over a short period of time and making it defend its bronze medal in the Paris Olympics. “We needed to build trust, because that’s the number one thing that you can rely on,” said Fulton. “We did a good job in the Asian Games (winning the gold medal and qualifying for the Olympics) to start that process. We had some tough times in Australia, in the Pro League. And it just came out, it really came out at the most opportune times, and it was a special, special time for the team.
