Despite the hope brought by the arrival of Luka Doncic, the Lakers had a complicated end to the season, with a stinging elimination at the hands of the Timberwolves. They don’t want to go through that again, so they’ve taken matters into their own hands. They are already recruiting a key player for next season.
Following the arrival of Luka Doncic at the trade deadline, Lakers fans began to believe in a possible title. The Slovenian point guard was just coming off his first Finals appearance with the Mavericks, and LeBron James could have been galvanized by this major reinforcement. In fact, when they went on an 8-game winning streak at the end of the winter, this ambition was credible.
Although they managed to climb to third place in the Western Conference behind the Thunder and Nuggets, JJ Redick and his men were quickly caught out by this unbalanced roster in the playoffs. Because Anthony Davis was the only top-level inside player on the roster, they couldn’t stand up to the Timberwolves of Rudy Gobert, Naz Reid and Julius Randle.
The Lakers recruit a fitness trainer!
The other element that was lacking at the end of the season, and which was quite evident on the court, was the lack of fitness of some players. Austin Reaves looked exhausted in the first round, LeBron James struggled to finish games at 100%, while Luka Doncic wasn’t always the most lucid. And that’s something that could soon change. The Lakers are recruiting.
The Los Angeles Lakers are looking for a senior fitness trainer. The Lakers’ physical trainer is responsible for ensuring that every player on the roster has a personalized program to achieve optimal performance while staying healthy. The person chosen for the position will be responsible for creating, monitoring and adjusting the players’ personal training throughout the year.
On top of this, the trainer will be responsible for motivating the players and making sure they do a good job in the gym. The candidate must be comfortable working as part of a team, with a fairly uncertain schedule and sometimes long travel times. Programs will have to be drawn up for the preseason, regular season, playoffs and off-season.
As you will have gathered from this official announcement, the Lakers are looking for a fitness trainer to accompany the team throughout next season. They want a man capable of personalizing the players’ training sessions, as well as motivating them. Luka Doncic will have his work cut out for him, which justifies the $250,000 annual salary.
