Memo who was the only Jazz player to be able play in all 82 games, came very close to the goals he had set for himself in October. Here are the questions of the JazzFanz and Memo's sincere answers. BRADLEY STOKER writes "Mister Memo, we are impressed by your improvement this year in skills, fitness, and teamwork; and we hope that your progress will continue. How possible is it for you to do strength and endurance training during the offseason (in Turkey, for example)?" Upon my return to Turkey I will sit down with the coach of the Turkish National team (Bogdan Tanjevic) and the National team general manager (Dogan Hakyemez) and talk with them about the possibility of bringing my own strength and conditioning coach from the USA. The National team has a strength and conditioning coach and he is responsible for the whole team. If they give me permission I would like to have one in addition especially for the times that the national team will not be in training or in camp. I have always done some lifting during the off season, but I want to do everything to make sure that I am in the best shape that I can be. </div> <div align="center">Link</div>
