There’s a moment in every athlete’s journey. You’re on the field, the pressure is on, and what you’re trying isn’t working. Frustration builds. You try to force it, to rely on your own instinct, and you hit a wall. And then, a voice cuts through the noise—the coach’s voice, telling you to do that one drill, to trust the system, to get back to the fundamentals.
At UrbanQuota, our foundation is built on the cultures of passion, dedication, and the grind. We believe that every court, every stage, and every field is its own “street” with its own code. On the field hockey pitch, the coach is the architect of that culture. They are the ones who set the standard, who push you beyond your limits, and who set the “quota” for excellence.
This collection is a tribute to that wisdom. We’re proud to introduce a uniform for the player and the mentor: the “If At First You Don’t Succeed, Try What Your Field Hockey Coach Said” T-Shirt and the high-performance gear to execute the plan. This is the ultimate guide to the gear that honors the process.
Part 1: The Philosophy – “Try What Your Coach Said”

This slogan is more than just a funny quote on a t-shirt. It’s a fundamental truth at the heart of every successful team and every great athlete. It’s a mantra built on three key pillars:
1. Trust The coach sees the entire field. While a player might only see the opponent directly in front of them, the coach sees the strategic press, the developing play, and the opponent’s weakness. Their instructions are based on a perspective you don’t have in the heat of the moment. This shirt is a declaration of trust in that vision.
2. The Power of Fundamentals Coaches are masters of the basics. The seemingly endless drills—the stick work, the footwork, the conditioning—are what build the foundation for greatness. The coach’s instruction to “get lower” or “follow through” isn’t just a correction; it’s a reinforcement of the muscle memory that wins games. This shirt celebrates the player who understands that flashy plays are born from boring practice.
3. Experience and Strategy Your coach has likely seen your current struggle a thousand times before. Their advice is a shortcut forged from years of experience, both wins and losses. When they tell you to try a different approach, they are giving you the benefit of that hard-earned wisdom. “Try what your coach said” is about having the humility to learn from those who have walked the path before you.
The “If At First You Don’t Succeed…” T-Shirt is the perfect uniform for the player who gets it, and the perfect piece for the coach who preaches it. It’s a comfortable, durable long-sleeve tee that serves as a constant reminder to trust the process, on and off the pitch.
Part 2: The Execution – Gear for Putting the Words into Action

A coach’s game plan is only as good as the team’s ability to execute it. This requires athletes to be in peak physical condition, and that starts with having the right gear for the grind. The performance shorts in this collection are the engine for that execution.
Experience ultimate comfort and style with our premium shorts, crafted from a high-quality blend of 80% Polyester, 15% Cotton, and 5% Spandex. This is the professional-grade gear needed to turn coaching wisdom into on-field results.
Anatomy of an Athlete’s Shorts: The 80/15/5 Blend
This fabric is engineered specifically for the dynamic movements of field hockey.
- 80% Polyester: The Foundation of Durability. Field hockey is a tough, fast-paced game. This polyester-heavy blend is built to withstand dives, slides on turf, and the general wear and tear of intense competition. As a high-performance fiber, it wicks moisture away from the skin, keeping you dry, light, and focused through all four quarters.
- 15% Cotton: The Comfort for Endurance. Long practices and all-day tournaments require comfort. The cotton in the blend provides essential breathability and a soft feel against the skin, preventing chafing and keeping you comfortable during downtime and travel.
- 5% Spandex: The Key to Agility. This is the game-changer. Field hockey requires a low center of gravity, explosive sprints, and lightning-fast changes in direction. The 5% Spandex provides a crucial four-way stretch, ensuring a complete and unrestricted range of motion. You can lunge for a tackle, pivot for a reverse-stick hit, and sprint down the sideline without your gear ever holding you back.
This advanced blend creates an ultra-soft, breathable fabric that ensures all-day comfort and flexibility, making it perfect for any activity.
Features Built for the Pitch (and for Parents)
- Key Feature: Long-Lasting Vibrant Colors: Look like a team, play like a team. Featuring advanced high-definition heat-dye technology, our apparel is made to last. The graphic on the T-shirt will stay crisp and the color of the shorts will remain vibrant, ensuring you look professional and unified, wash after wash.
- Key Feature: Durable and Easy to Maintain: Athletes and their families have enough to worry about. This gear is designed to resist wrinkles, shrinking, and mildew. This means it’s tough enough to handle turf stains and frequent washing, and the mildew resistance is a lifesaver for any gear left in a sports bag. It’s hassle-free care for your busy lifestyle.

Part 4: Gear Maintenance – Respecting the Uniform
The discipline your coach teaches on the field applies everywhere. Taking care of your uniform is a reflection of your commitment to yourself and your team.
Care Instructions:
- Turn inside out before washing. This protects the high-definition graphic and the fabric’s color.
- Machine wash cold with similar colors on a gentle cycle.
- Use non-chlorine bleach only when necessary.
- Tumble dry low and iron on cool settings if needed.
Upgrade your wardrobe with these versatile, long-lasting shorts that combine durability, style, and comfort effortlessly!
When paired with the T-shirt, this collection is more than apparel—it’s a philosophy. It’s for the players and coaches who know that success isn’t an accident. It’s a process. It’s a grind. And it starts with listening to the person who knows the way.
Trust the process. Trust the coach.
