Rookie center Jake Thompson opened up about his first professional contract and how the coaching staff helped him improve his footwork. These stories give a personal glimpse behind the stats and show the human side of the sport.
Coaching insights also made the cut. Head coach Simon Hughes broke down his defensive strategy that kept the Eagles at bay, explaining the drill that taught the team to rotate quickly after a missed shot. The article includes a quick video link (embedded on the site) that demonstrates the drill for anyone wanting to try it at a local gym.

Another popular post covered recovery basics: why foam rolling, hydration and sleep matter after a grueling game night.
