The most interesting thing I learned from him was that he went from nothing to something.

He had one coach that he use(Holger) . And they were great friends. And he said his coach even when he got pick for the NBA.

He had another coach ( I forgot his name). But, they had different workouts that would make Dirk the player he is now. He also wasn’t the best player going into the NBA. But, he got a lot better.

Singing Sucks

He is one of the worst singers. He plays for Dallas and is a PF. He had a personal coach and he has a very high FT % After he blew the 2006 Finals to the Miami Heat🔥 he stayed at the stadium for HOURS after the game. His first wife was a convict.

Before watching the video, I didn't even know who he was. I learned that from a young age, Dirk was really good at basketball--partly due to his height and dedication. His personal coach took notice of Dirk during one of his games, and from there, Dirk was on the path to success. From that experience, I learned that if you have someone to help you out in your aspirations, the probability for success is a lot higher then being by yourself. Also, after failing, Dirk never gave up. He practiced harder in order to achieve his goal.

His dad trained him and helped him become one of the greats of basketball

One of the interesting things I learned was that the trainer he worked with was from Germany. I always assumed that if he had a personal trainer, he would have switched over to an American one when he came over (just because I wouldn't think his German trainer would want to come over full-time.

I also find it fascinating that he has played for Dallas for 20 years now (16 as of the video). That is amazing longevity for a career, especially when you consider that he played for 4 years over in Germany (I also didn't know that).

It was also... very obvious that Dirk has little to no singing talent. His rendition of We Are the Champions was pretty darn horrible. LIke, almost Fergie National Anthem horrible.

I could put more, but I already know a lot about him.

I figured out who he was.

Natalie Seiler- I learned that he was a basketball player. I also learned that he has a very accurate shot, and that he and his coach use science to find out what the best angle is to get a basket.

He has a trainer that he’s had since childhood, and they built so much of a bond and work ethic that when he got to the nba, agents and the Dallas Mavericks didn’t mess with the bond and relationship they had, and let him keep the same trainer, even though he wasn’t a Dallas maverick trainer

2018-03-08 20:32:33 UTC

He didn't invite his family to come to the 2011 NBA Finals, because he didn't want to feel pressured like he did in 2006.

One interesting thing that I learned about Dirk is that he didn’t like to be very open. In the video it says that he usually went to his family for help and that he had people he knew well manage his wealth. I also learned that his parents were not happy with him when he was recruited. They wanted him to study and graduate. Dirk also played many sports other than basketball.

He had a coach named Holger who helped train him for most of his career and loves to use math and equations to help him train 🍜

He had a trainer that he always trained with throughout his career. Everyone said he couldn’t lead a team to a championship but he proved them wrong and did

2018-03-08 20:33:08 UTC

He was trained by his dad and went to the NBA I stead of playing with his home team. -Megan

He didn't invite his family to the 2011 NBA Finals, because his team choked in the 2006 finals, when his family was in attendance, and he didn't want it to happen again
