Our hockey was screwed up b'cos of the penchant for stick-work only, and we were literally thrown out of gear by more teams who played "Total Hockey"; now u see, our hockey players play more hit n run game and the fitness level has gone up tremendously. That doesn't mean the game has become more physical.
Football, itself is a "physical" game that way where fitness is the key to everything; i think over the years, Kolkata teams have realised that and now they are more obsessed to have physically fit footballers - which has been the prime focus of TJM, Karim and more recently Sanjoy, Biswajit. Bagan has one of the best physical trainers in the business - Garcia who has helped many footballers(not only in Bagan, but players from other clubs have seeked his inputs) to be in shape- which was not the case earlier. EB has a state of the art gym., while Bagan has been regularly using the gym of CAB(Cricket Association of Bengal) this year.
This apart, I think only BFC have a proper facility/pros in this aspect.
