From the time he took over as the men’s team coach, Sjoerd Marijne proclaimed that he would transfer responsibility to the players. Since then, the Dutchman and high performance director David John have maintained that theirs was a player-driven, coach-assisted system. But what is the player-driven system? “He has made groups and assigned leaders (senior players) to each group,” said a current India player. Are positions on the field also considered in forming the groups? “There is one leader from the forward-line, two from the midfield… There are five to six leaders and they have discussions with the other players and the coaching staff,” he added.
