Former Vermont Basketball player shares his experience playing in Spain from the language barrier to the excellent food.
Language barriers often exist off the court for players overseas and sometimes that can make its way onto the court as well. It can be a blessing when you know the coach is spewing nonsense that you would otherwise tune out anyways and a curse when he’s trying to relay information to the team in the middle of a game quickly.
With the language barrier and the mid-day siesta (nap) that shuts businesses down for roughly 3 hours, there are definitely some adjustments that Sandro had to make in Spain. He explains all of this and what to do when the general manager of your team gives you only 300 euros for 12 guys to go eat with a casino nearby.
