Hockey players have good relationships with each other and realize that being selfish can lose you the game. Hockey players have excellent hand eye coordination and are able to think ahead. They also have excellent endurance, overall muscle strength (especially in the legs), and superior speed.

For the player, benefits include keeping fit and active, being in a good social environment, and the chance to get recognition (and a paycheque) if they are good enough. For the spectators, the obvious benefit is that they have something to watch. For the community, benefits are the increased money going into the economy associated with tournaments, sponsorships and regular takings and publicity from having good teams or promoting the sport in the area.

Is field hockey a hard sport to play?

Person 1 Field hockey is just as hard as any sport, it all depends on the amount of dedication you put into it. Person 2 I've played some field hockey and a lot of ice hockey, and I found field hockey much harder. For one thing, it is unfair to those of us who are left shots. Because of the types of sticks in field hockey, we all had to shoot right. Also, a ball on grass is much harder to handle than a puck on ice. I didn't enjoy playing field hockey at all.
