Linas Kleiza Has Enrolled At Worcester!
Linas Kleiza, former NBA player has enrolled at Worcester
Current leading scorer of the Euroleague and former Denver Nuggets player Linas Kleiza has enrolled at Worcester University to study the first MSc in European Basketball Coaching, reports the Worcester News.
The some-what unusual Masters degree was developed by the University of Worcester and the Lithuanian Academy of Physical Education (LAPE) in collaboration with the Lithuanian Basketball Federation.
Talking to the Worcester News, the Olympiakos player said
“My main commitment is clearly to basketball but the opportunity to study on such an exciting course is very attractive. To gain a masters degree would be very rewarding.
It will open many doors when I do finish playing. It will also be interesting to reflect in an academic setting upon my own experiences in the game which I love so much.”
The two-year course , endorsed by FIBA, will enable students to “participate in lectures and seminars during the middle and end of the playing season, while online classes and tutorials will be available throughout the year.”
I wouldn’t hold your breath on him playing for the Uni or BBL team just yet…
Do you like our work?
We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
