31 Fabio Massimo Francioni (Qatar National Team): In the NBA a player needs to arrive prepared for day one of the pre-season. How are players monitored when they are away from the team? Torres: From my experience in the NBA teams have a squad, physiotherapists, strength coaches and so on. And they visit the players wherever they are very often. Most players, they have people in their off season, in the summer, in their countries, in the cities, then they go back. They don’t stay in the city where the team is. You have to go and visit them and stay on top of them. A lot of communication is with the people they are working with and a lot of visits to the place where they are working.
