The Indian men's hockey team is set to undergo a rigorous three-day training camp at the renowned adventurer Mike Horn's base in Switzerland, aimed at bolstering mental resilience ahead of the Paris Olympics.

Organized by celebrated South African mental conditioning coach Paddy Upton, the camp is designed to push players beyond their comfort zones. Upton, who orchestrated India's victory in the 2011 Cricket World Cup, previously arranged a similar experience for the South African cricket team in 2012.

The players will engage in activities like descending mountains, jumping off waterfalls, and navigating canyons, emulating the challenges faced by Horn, one of the greatest adventurers of our time. This initiative is part of India's final preparations, which include additional training in the Netherlands before proceeding to Paris.
