An obstinate coach who insists on delivering the best results, Harendra refused to give up his strong work ethic even when it earned the ire of the management.

Harendra has come a long way in a short period of time - from being rejected and mocked for his origins to being the Man Friday for Indian hockey. Harendra wants a team that is not only robust but also prepared to take on anyone in the world.

Harendra clarified his own attitude when fighting against the system, "Yes, a lot of people do. Out of 50, 30 players are likely to hate me, the other 20 will become world-class players. So I don't bother about the 30."

While most of the Indian Olympians have become armchair critics following their limited successes since Moscow 1980, Harendra, despite not being an Olympian, insists on finding a solution to the problem rather than cribbing about it.
