Drivers Training

When you got your first car, was it a Rolls Royce or Ferrari ?
Mine wasn't either.  My first car was an old dented VW bug.
The first week I drove the car, another student backed into it.
There was a dent and I was horrified.

Looking back, I was glad to have not had a pretty car, at least while learning.
Bumps, dents, and paint scratches are going to happen.

The same attitude should be used toward field hockey.
Learn with a good, but not awesome stick.  Buy your Porsche after you are

away from other beginners.  They are going to hit your stick.

Counterfeit Brand Name Sticks

Counterfeit sticks have been a problem for several years.  If the counterfeiter fails at selling a fake with one brand, they will repaint the stick with a different brand design.  You might think people would learn that a top end stick, that sells for lots of money, offered "direct from the factory" at a fraction of the cost is nothing but a scam.


I recently heard from a mother who bought two new sticks on eBay.  Her daughter tried them. Had she been a beginner, she wouldn't have recognized the sticks were fakes.  They looked like real Adidas models.  They played like do-do.

If it looks too good to be true, use your head.

What is next? Fake goggles?  They are already fake safety "protection".
