Bulgarian Coach Nikolai Gospodinov

” I have been working in this academy almost 8 months. This academy is the best opportunity for players, especially American young players, to adjust themselves to European style of basketball. We offer them a lot of professional European fiba licensed coaches and strength and conditioning coaches. We have nice facilities. I think this is best the best way, especially for young players, for their first year overseas to adjust themselves in Europe.”
