“Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside themselves was superior to circumstance.”
We have always heard that hard work pays off and that lesson has proven true by two youngsters from our very own Phoenix, Arizona – Gary Johal and Namit Mangat. Gary and Namit have done their parents and Arizona proud by beign selected in the US National Field Hockey team (Under-16). They will have the opportunity to represent the US in an international field hockey tournament held in Chile in March 2018. Passionate hockey players, Gary and Namit started their career in Field Hockey since early childhood. They are both active members of Arizona’s own Phoenix Scorpions field hockey club where they are gaining guidance from Coach Laveen Jandu. Their strong determination, willpower, and dedication has played a major in this achievement and so has the immense support and encouragement from their parents. Asia Today congratulates both Shamsher Johal, father of Gary Johal, and Parminder Mangat, father of Namit Mangat for all the support, advice, and encouragement that led these two youngsters to reach such a milestone at an early age.
It is clear that Gary and Namit have a very bright future ahead and will make their parents and nation proud in the coming years. We wish them both much success, happiness, and look forward to cheering them on in March 2018 in the international field hocky tournament and many other events in the coming years. Congratulations Gary and Namit – we can’t wait to see you represent and make the US proud in a few months!
