After spending a lot of down time due to injury, this season has returned to play at high level in the Melilla Basketball. What is now physically and mentally After this "break" required?
In the career of a professional sportsman, when you are many years competing at a level of physical and psychological demands high, it is normal to make an appearance injuries at certain times. P articularly had respected me enough but it's true I've had some that, while not significant, it had reduced me physically and level of feelings. Now, the present season is soothing for me in every way, I'm in a Club (Melilla Basketball) where they do things very well, which has a long history and has proven in recent years become one of the top teams within a league as competitive as the Adecco LEB Oro On a personal level I have returned to recover the physical level of previous years, those good feelings of the talking and I'm very happy with how everything is proceeding. As for the mental aspect, everything is related and now I have really wanted to continue enjoying the sport for several years. His team now running seventh, with a record of 12-11. Are they meeting expectations? What can expect when play finally play off for promotion?
Club was cut in the budget over last season as the economic crisis is seen in all areas. This year the staff is fairly new, which requires an adjustment phase that at times it has been noticed. We are getting better and as you say, we must be ambitious and have the mind set on the playoffs. Once there, if we make it with physical and mental freshness, playing well as a whole and with a winning mentality, we can aspire to everything; I trust that this is because we have a great coaching staff and players high quality.
Xacobeo and Murcia seems that the square will be played given the direct promotion to the ACB. Who do you bet?
From the beginning, and leaving with the favorites in the competition to get promotion, the truth is that both teams have a great squad and they are showing. These two teams join Burgos as one of the sets that are now a step above. But if I had to get wet, be quite difficult for as I see the teams, I'd say it will get direct ascent Xacobeo, and another place that is earned through the playoffs ... to Melilla.
are many who believe that Adecco Oro, English being the second category is one of the most competitive leagues in Europe. Do you also see it that way?
The truth is that yes, many people understood it has been considered the fourth most competitive league in Europe and fifth worldwide. In my experience, having played seven years in it, I've seen has been evolving and becoming a very attractive and spectacular racing. Basketball that practice makes players enshrined in the big leagues often find it hard to keep pace with the competition and how to play it, as it deploys a basketball very dynamic and different in several respects when it develops, for example in the ACB.
Why not reached to consolidate Juan Miguel Morales in the CBA, after it debuted with CB Gran Canaria?
retrospect, to my way of seeing things, was a combination of circumstances which could make this happen. First, when I was in the staff of CB Gran Canaria (late 90), the ACB league clubs allowed to have three extra players apart from the community and a passport, it became fashionable to joining American bases as were the cases of Andre Turner or Michael Anderson , and that was the only position I played on the court at that time, there was much competition. I had the pleasure of sharing the position with Berni Hernandez, in my opinion, one of the best players we have given our basketball, and Reggie Fox, but this is difficult in part that my prominence could have been higher within the team. If we add that had not yet reached my maturity as a player, I had to start a new career I washed up in several different leagues and teams from the peninsula to which I am also very proud to have belonged.
What (Cáceres) (Los Barrios)
is for a future in the CBA basketball debut with the team of their land?
To me, his debut and played in a league as important as the ACB with the team of my country, defending the colors that had always felt, is something I will never forget and I always fill pride. Playing against teams like Real Madrid or Barcelona Regal, who a few years ago I saw on television, was to fulfill a dream he had pursued.
here in Gran Canaria, you were a legend in the lower grades. One of his greatest feats, no doubt, was jugar el Campeonato de España infantil del año 1992 con el equipo de su pueblo, el ya desaparecido CB Santa Brígida. ¿Qué supuso para un grupo de amigos de colegio jugar ante los mejores de España? ¿Qué importancia ha tenido en su vida y carrera deportiva Antonio Herrera, el entrenador de aquel equipo?
G racias por sus palabras,. Eso sí, los méritos personales nunca hubiesen llegado sin la ayuda de mis compañeros y entrenadores. En relación a los que has mencionado, resultaba extraño y al mismo tiempo increíble ver en los carteles del Campeonato de España infantil de aquel CB year the name of Santa Brigida matched in the same group of teams like Joventut Badalona and Real Madrid. The truth is that it was an unforgettable experience with all those people who was behind the basketball in the Villa de Santa Brigida, and live something like that with your colleagues and friends from college (a real 'gamers') was very special ... I think it was a fitting reward for this generation to get there. On the other hand, I have to thank the team from Heidelberg College, where I spent several years in which as a group achieved a great deal and helped me to continue to evolve as a player.
As Antonio Herrera, sure I'll be short of praise for him, and not just as a coach, but of course as a person. I think I can afford to speak on behalf of all my co-generation and say it is someone dear. A person who got work base, a group of kids rather small stature learn to play and compete in such a way that won four championships and a UEFA Island Canary, and more importantly, how much we taught to value things and reward that has the effort. In my case, I have him as a coach has been very important in both my career and in my development as a person.
Although still young, turns 33 in 2011. Can you imagine a life and off the court? Where could you see?
Though I want to play several more years, it is clear that an athlete's career is over and you're thinking what to do once this happens. I am currently completing studies in teacher. This season training combine it with the practices in a school in Melilla and in the future I see myself working with children, which is something I've always liked. On the other hand, I would not divest myself of all the world of basketball and I have in mind a few things to make it happen.
I also believe that the relay of the surname Morales is assured ...
These are my only two nieces, Sara Rodríguez Rodríguez Morales and Laura Morales, who have already spent several years playing in the lower echelons of the box and we will quite well. Anyway we know how hard it is make a hole in this sport, they are still young (14 and 11 years), and the advice I give is to strive for that will help them to get good habits to face tomorrow, but also that they enjoy. Although it seems a cliché to say, it is clear how important it must be for them and for all children in general, education and good training. Take this opportunity to send a greeting and tell you how much I love them. If I could take stock of all these years, what time is left?
There have been many moments of great joy, as the debut in the ACB, having played against teams that used to watch with great admiration for the TV when I was little, promotions, cups, championships, awards personally, but really I'd stay with it with the satisfaction and happiness of being able to devote so many years to what I've always really liked.
