Players are very passionate. They are ready to do anything to play. But have you ever heard that a player has sacrificed any part of his body to play? This has happened and this work has been done by an Australian hockey player. The name of this player is Matt Dawson.

This 30-year-old player was part of the Australian team that won the silver medal in the Tokyo Olympics 2020 three years ago. He wants the team to win gold and is leaving no stone unturned for this. For this, he has also sacrificed his finger.

Matt recently suffered an injury to the ring finger of his right hand. This was threatening his participation in the Paris Olympics. But Matt wanted to play his third Olympics and what he did after that was surprising. The doctors advised Matt to let the injury recover and forget about the Olympics. Or get the upper part of his finger cut off. Matt took a surprising decision and agreed to get the upper part of his finger cut off.

Talking to Australia's Channel Seven before flying to France, he said, "I have taken this decision after talking to a plastic surgeon. This is not just for the Paris Olympics but for my entire life. The best option for me was to get the upper part of my finger cut off. This is a great challenge."

The team's coach Colin Batch is also surprised by Matt's decision. The team's coach has said that this shows how passionate he is about the game and what his level of commitment is. He said, "This is not something that the coach decides. Matt gets full marks for this. Obviously, he is committed to playing in the Paris Olympics. I don't know if I would have done it or not, but he has done it."
