College basketball is the goal for senior Landon Boldra and he believes the work he put in on his body will have him ready to get there.
Boldra’s biggest motivation for this season and basketball in general is to play the sport he loves at the next level.
“Basketball has been my passion from a very young age, and so much so that I was dribbling a ball at the age of one and better yet dribbling while sprinting with either hand at the age of three,” Boldra said.
Boldra, a 6’2 point guard for Circle High school, was heavily focused on gaining weight during this offseason.
“This offseason I have really put my time in the weight room to increase my muscle mass as I have grown substantially,” Boldra said. “I would really like to focus on improving by being a more physical downhill player.”
As a senior, Boldra is forced into a leadership position but unlike most he is ready to grab the reins.
“I am really excited for this upcoming season because I get the opportunity to lead a young team. I am also super excited to get another opportunity to compete at the state tournament and make a run,” Boldra said.
Apart from being in the weight room and lifting, Boldra played a lot of basketball during the offseason.
“During the summer I played at the MAYB National tournament. I have also been playing in a 3v3 league against other local talent,” Boldra said.
