Interview

What makes you different?

I would say I’m one of the people that never gets scared. No matter if a taller or stronger player is in front of me – it wouldn’t bother me. I am ready to make the right decision – wheter it’s a pass or a bucket. Nobody can really get to my head, I’m always focused on the game and don’t really let anything get to me. I’m very coachable and I am ready to hear what the coach has to say in order to get better.

Why do you want to compete in college?

College sports is one of the most unique experiences in my opinion. Just seeing the facilities the teams have, the training gear the players wear, the way the players look and play is amazing. There is no egoism in their game – they are the true definition of a team. I want to be one of them.

College goals

I want to become a better basketball player and combine it with my education. My main goal when I’m competeing, no matter if its in basketball or in anything else, is to win. I am ready to give whatever the team needs from me to win championships.

Basketball and life Goals?

When asked, I always answer this question the same way: my main goal in life is to be happy with a family with three kids: no matter if I become a pro baketball player, I want to be happy with whatever profesion I have. But of course, I want to be happy playing basketball professionaly so yeah, basketball has always been the main goal.

Anything else we should know?

Outside of basketball I like meeting new people and getting to know them. Deep conversations with my friends always make up my tired mind when I need it. Music is also a big thing for me – it’s like a therapy helping me get through a tough phase.
