Today Brevin will be sharing a blog post on what a typical game day here in Denmark looks like for him. Check it out below:
Game days in Serbia were much different than here in Denmark.
For example, in Serbia we would arrive to games about 75 minutes prior to tip off and we would watch film. Of course, my teammates would have to translate the entire game plan to me while my coach was speaking it since he only spoke Serbian. Luckily, this year my coach speaks English, he is actually American, which has made communication much easier.
On gamedays in Denmark, our team manager, Hanne, and her daughter, Sabrina, set out our jerseys in the locker room prior to our game and have fruits and coffee ready for us when we arrive.
I usually arrive around two hours before tip to give myself time to use my massage gun and listen to music before getting dressed. During this time I always help myself to one or two cups of coffee, depending on what time our game is at, and I eat multiple plums.
Then I begin my shooting routine, which consists of about 200 made shots, before heading back into the locker to wait for our coach to come in and share the game plan.
One of the most exciting additions to game days here in Denmark is after every game, win or lose, there will be baked goods for us to eat. My favorite dessert we have had so far is American brownies.
Overall, game days in Denmark feel much more official than they did in Serbia and the food doesn’t hurt either.😉
