About Sandeep Singh
Sandeep Singh, fondly known across the sporting world as “Flicker Singh,” is one of India’s most extraordinary hockey legends—an athlete whose story goes far beyond the field. Born in Haryana, Sandeep rose to prominence as one of the most powerful and accurate drag-flickers the game has ever seen, earning him fear and respect from opponents globally. But what makes his journey truly remarkable is his resilience in the face of life-altering adversity. In 2006, Sandeep Singh was accidentally shot while traveling on a train, an incident that left him paralysed and bedridden for nearly two years. Most athletes would have accepted defeat, but Sandeep’s grit, determination, and unwavering passion for hockey brought him back to the field stronger than ever. His comeback remains one of the greatest in Indian sporting history.
As captain of the Indian National Hockey Team, he led India to a historic victory at the 2009 Sultan Azlan Shah Cup, securing the trophy after a gap of 13 years. He was also the top scorer of the tournament in multiple editions, including 2008, and played a crucial role in India’s success at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, where the team clinched the silver medal. His record-breaking 16 goals in the 2012 Olympic Qualifiers helped India earn its spot at the London Olympics.
Over his career, Sandeep Singh has scored more than 150 international goals, cementing his legacy as one of the finest drag-flickers in modern hockey. For his incredible achievements and inspiring comeback, he was honoured with the Arjuna Award in 2010 and the Padma Shri in 2022, India’s fourth-highest civilian award. His unbelievable life story even inspired the Bollywood biopic Soorma. Today, Sandeep Singh is a celebrated motivational speaker, mentor, and coach, inspiring audiences with his journey of courage, discipline, and relentless willpower. Hiring Sandeep Singh for your next event guarantees a session filled with passion, resilience, and the spirit of never giving up.
