In this episode, I connect with Icelandic coach Mikael Hrafnsson to explore what basketball really looks like in one of the most unique countries in Europe. We talk about how the game is growing in Iceland, how young players train, and what the coaching culture looks like in such a small but ambitious basketball community. Topics we dive into: • how basketball developed in Iceland • the mentality and work ethic of Icelandic players • youth development, clubs, and daily training structure • challenges of coaching in a small country with limited competition • opportunities for players and coaches • the future of Icelandic basketball Mikael inst: @mikaelmani21 My inst: @arnold.chernogorov
