Tell for the readers who do you spend an average day.

On an average day I first get up and eat breakfast. Usually, I eat fruit and drink a big glass of water. Then I attend weight lifting with the team. After weights, I go and eat at a Restaurant in Kormend. The food there is delicious! I will then go for a walk in Kormend before returning to my apartment. I rest for a few hours, talk with my family and my wife and then I go to practice in the evening. After practice, I eat dinner and then return to my apartment to go to sleep for the night.

My goal is to help the team win as many games as possible. I want to win the Hungarian Championship and I want to advance to the top 16 in EuroChallenge.
