A full-time physical trainer is mandatory. The system does not provide a training plan but only adjusts postures and sees fitness in real-time.

The daily life of an NBA player offers much free time. Depending on the maturity and passions of the athletes, its use is varied. Several players have difficulty using it wisely.

Hector is a fan of combat sports. He enjoys football or socca and former army member is. It is no coincidence that a former army member is on his staff. This is your banal 19-year-old who has experienced the vices of life and does not attend parties.

A rookie with the mind of a veteran.
