Have you noticed an increase in participation in hockey in Argentina because of the success at the last Olympics?<br />
“Of course it grew from that achievement<br />
but we still have to gain more fans and boys<br />
who want to play our sport. It’s not an easy<br />
job because we have to compete with other<br />
popular sports in our country, like football,<br />
rugby, basketball, etc... However, we need to<br />
keep having good results in big tournaments<br />
and win more space in the media. Also, we<br />
have to make a marketing plan to get that<br />
space too. ”<br />
“FOR ME,<br />
GRAYS<br />
MEANS<br />
HOCKEY”<br />
What are the next major tournaments for the<br />
squad and what do you hope to achieve?<br />
“Next tournament will be the World Cup in India.<br />
This will take place next November and we are<br />
making our preparation to be in the top 3 again,<br />
as the last World Cup in The Neteherlands 2014.<br />
We want to keep being one of the best teams in<br />
the world, as we are since 2013.”<br />
How important is the product that you use<br />
on the pitch?<br />
“Grays has the best products in the <strong>Hockey</strong><br />
World. I’ve been playing hockey the last 32<br />
years of my life and I always play with Grays,<br />
For me, Grays means hockey. I have a special<br />
feeling for this brand, we share a lot of years,<br />
and tournaments, at my club in Buenos Aires,<br />
in Germany and in Holland. Especially with my<br />
National squad, where I spent the best moments<br />
of my sports life.”
