Watching a movie on self-belief after three consecutive losses rebuilt the Indian women’s hockey team’s shattered morale and helped it to “aim for the clouds”, the side’s Dutch coach Sjoerd Marijne revealed on Monday, after Rani Rampal and Co. entered their maiden Olympic semis.

The team bounced back tremendously in the tournament after successive losses and Marijne said the movie helped the team psychologically ahead of the must-win pool game against Ireland. He, however, did not reveal its name.

“The difference is believing in ourselves... and then it’s about going back to reality,” Marijne said after upsetting world No.2 Australia in the quarter finals here.

“If you lose you don’t stop believing and that’s what I told the girls. The most important thing is to stay in the moment... Against Ireland we kept on referring to that movie,” he said. “In India you must think big and that’s what I said to the girls.”
