The interview with D’Angelo Harrison, who has just extended his contract with Nutribullet Treviso for the 2024-25 season, managed by the press office of the Veneto club. These are his first statements after signing.
Welcome back D’Angelo, happy to have stayed in Treviso? What are your feelings?
“For me it was an obvious choice, I always knew that in the end I would stay here. Coach Vitucci and the sports director Giofrè played an important role in this decision, and seeing how the club moved on the market between the confirmations that arrived and the announcement of Mazzola made everything even easier”.
Coming from a season in which you fought as a team and overcame great adversity to reach safety, how much do you think you learned from a similar year?
“Things didn’t go as we would have liked, especially at the start, but we found the mental strength to get back up and achieve our goal. It was a formative year, in which we often came close to winning games which then eluded us in the final possessions , but this is basketball and these are things that happen, situations from which we can learn to present ourselves better for the season that awaits us.”
Happy to see again so many athletes with whom you shared your first year in Treviso?
‘Yes, absolutely. We all grew a lot together over the course of the season, and we all faced adversity with the right mentality. As I was saying, meeting Ky, Mezza, Osi and Pauly was a positive factor for me in my stay at Nutribullet. I can’t wait to get back to the gym and train with them again, as well as meeting the new teammates who will arrive.”
Plans for the summer?
‘I’m training practically every day alternating between the pitch and the gym, I hope to be polished by the time I’m back in Treviso.’
Do you want to say something to your fans?
“I am determined to make sure that next season is different from last, and I can’t wait to return to a match in the Palaverde, it is a unique environment. Our fans have played a decisive role throughout the year and they have always been by our side.”
