Before he can make an impact with the University of Hawai’i basketball team, Leland Green understands that he must make the necessary adjustments in becoming a NCAA Division I student-athlete.
It means eating right, training properly, and keeping up with academics, in addition to battling for playing time at the guard position.
“It’s been off and on, kind of hard,” said Green, a 6-foot-3 true freshman from Los Angeles. “I’m kind of new, getting adjusted to college, on and off the court.”
For example, while Green might look fit and trim upon first glance, he admits that he is still learning about the benefits of various workouts, and a balanced diet.
