Yam Madar Holds Private Training Amid National Team Saga Ahead of Germany Match
Amid ongoing drama surrounding Israeli national basketball team star Yam Madar, the guard remains focused on basketball and unaffected by external distractions. After feeling unwell the previous evening, Madar rented a training facility in Riga, Latvia, on Thursday morning to conduct a personal workout and maintain his fitness. He was joined by the national team's three assistant coaches, Yoav Shamir, Guy Kaplan, and Amit Levi, who led a private training session lasting several hours early in the morning.
This personal training routine is a regular practice for Madar, with team sources noting he often undertakes extra individual workouts beyond the official team sessions. Despite his physical discomfort the night before, Madar chose not to skip training and made every effort to prepare for the upcoming games against Germany and Croatia. The national team camp emphasizes his commitment to readiness despite the surrounding saga.
