In the 54th episode of Hockey Te Charcha, we had an insightful conversation with Dr. Aneeshya Sreejesh, the wife of legendary Indian goalkeeper PR Sreejesh. This episode is part of a special series called Hockey Te Charcha, Familia, launched by Hockey India ahead of the Olympic Games, where family members of Indian hockey stars share insights into the support system at home that allows the players to chase their dreams.
Dr. Aneeshya speaks about the challenges both the family and PR Sreejesh have had to endure during the highs and lows of his career, all while she managed everything at home and pursued her own career as a doctor in Ayurvedic medicine. She sheds light on the mood at home when the Indian Men's Hockey team won the bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, as well as what it was like when PR Sreejesh faced a career-threatening injury back in 2017.
Tune in to hear her inspiring story and gain a deeper understanding of the sacrifices and resilience behind the scenes of a hockey star's journey.
