Key importance in the functioning of a team is played by its staff, as stated by Sasha Vezenkovwho was invited to the coaches conference Euroleague.
Thereafter, the forward of the Kings and formerly of Olympiakos he emphasized that basketball has changed compared to ten years ago and especially the training sessions, which are shorter, due to more games.
What the Bulgarian forward said in detail:
“When I started playing everything was different. We had these big preparations before every season. We trained on the same things and to be honest the players who played the most had different schedules than the ones who played. The coaches were trying, but like I said, to be honest, the players who played the most were more important.
But the more you play, the more you have different needs, the strain is different. When I started playing ten years ago, there were fewer games, everything was different. Now with about 80 matches it is almost impossible to do the training you want. Now the training sessions are shorter in duration.
Thanks to ELPA, there are different rules for double training. Every player is different because every player has serious injuries, has their own routine and different weight needs. Teams need to build a good staff. The head coach should deal with what happens on the floor, that’s his job. So all the support comes from the staff.
Either you play or you don’t play much, you have to find the balance. When you don’t play much you have to train more, you have to figure out how to work. In the NBA everything is different, everything is very specific for years. Here in Europe, however, we are making moves to move forward and help the development of all these things».
