I am one of those players who don’t have stage fright except little jitters before the beginning of the game, and in the first moment I entered the court, but I am not afraid. I am always prepared in case I got minutes and I know what I need to do then. Before the game, day before coach told me to be prepared so I had the feeling I will be playing. But I am always ready, in every game I am prepared to help the team, to enter the court. You never know when it can happen so you should be prepared to use your minutes smartly” said Pecarski.
