Author of his best career season, even if he was not an All-Star, Domantas Sabonis explains that one of the keys to his individual success is to be found in his choice to cut himself off from social networks. Before the start of the season, the Kings interior deleted all their accounts!
“Personally, I deleted all my social media at the start of the season,” declared Domantas Sabonis on Adrian Wojnarowski's podcast. “You know, it’s the best thing ever. You don't have to worry about all this. You just have to go out on the field and play your game. You have your coaches, your family [et] your teammates, and only their opinion counts. You just have to go out there, have confidence in your game and play. »
Much more free time
A speech that is similar to that of Victor Wembanyama, who explained that he had uninstalled all apps related to social networks on his phone. Even if it means downloading them again if necessary, but only to get news from loved ones. “No matter how good or bad it is, something is creeping into your head, and in my opinion, it's better not to see it.” continues Domantas Sabonis.
While many players feel obligated to read what is written about them after a performance, Domantas Sabonis repeats that he made the best decision possible by cutting himself off from the noise of social networks.
“It’s amazing, you have a lot more free time. Your mind is freed” assures the Lithuanian. “You watch your matches and you try to learn for yourself… You don't need to read or hear anything from anyone else because, in the end, it's you who are on the field playing.”
