The Indian men's hockey team credits its strong performance in the FIH Pro League to a week-long training camp with Australian legend Michael McCann. His cutting-edge techniques have been instrumental in helping the team dominate their rivals in Bhubaneswar.

Led by Harmanpreet, the team, which earned a bronze at the Paris Olympics, won five out of eight Pro League matches on their home turf, only falling to Spain, Germany, and England once, before avenging those losses. They also achieved convincing wins over Ireland, leading to a promising position in the league standings.

Australian 47-year-old McCann, once part of Australia's 2004 Olympic gold-winning squad, has shared similar expertise with the German U21 and Senior teams. His focus on refining India's forward tactics and finishing skills has left a significant impact, promising enhanced performances in upcoming international tournaments.
