The Boston Celtics are coming off an NBA title-winning season this past 2023-24 campaign. However, it seems that there are no signs of stopping from them after clinching their record 18th NBA title. Notably, Celtics star man Jaylen Brown provided the fans with some much-needed insight regarding their training camp going into the 2024-25 NBA season.
Their head coach, Joe Mazzulla, is increasing the intensity in training camp. Brown came into camp in the finest condition of his career, but he recently admitted that the first couple of days have been very difficult. He commented on Friday at the Auerbach Center about Mazzulla’s focus throughout the first couple of workouts.
Training camp has been hard, Training camp has been a lot of conditioning, a lot of defensive stuff, setting the tone on the defensive end, pushing ourselves… Joe Mazzulla’s a psycho in a good way. It’s probably one of the tougher training camps, first two days, that I’ve probably had in terms of intensity, conditioning level, physicality, defensive warrior mentality.

Additionally, Mazzulla has been portrayed by others before, not just by Brown. Not long after the five-time All-Star guard signed the highest-paying contract deal in NBA history, the youthful coach was creating new ideas for Jayson Tatum of the Celtics.
This showcases the efforts Mazzulla has been putting into his roster. Not only that, Mazzulla was also the youngest coach (35) to win the NBA title alongside the legendary Bill Russell. The Celtics are a strong contender to win the NBA title once again. Hence, it will be intriguing to watch how Mazzulla shapes up his side going into the 2024-25 NBA season.
Jaylen Brown opens up on ‘training underwater’ as he prepares for 2024-25 NBA season
Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown has upped the ante recently with his recent training regimen. He has been doing underwater training sessions which has caught the attention of the NBA community. Given that, Brown opened up on his ‘underwater training’ sessions as he gets ready for an intense 2024-25 NBA season with his Celtics side.
So, what you want to learn in the water is actually to relax when you feel like you’re about to drown… Also through that, you will learn that you have more time than you think. So, when you feel it, get comfortable with that feeling and that is like getting comfortable with adversity.
