Jrue Holiday continues to prove himself as one of the league’s best two-way players.
Jrue Holiday has shown off his impressive strength in the gym, squatting 285 pounds an astonishing 20 times. His performance coach, Mike Guevara, revealed this impressive feat in an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda, highlighting Holiday’s dedication to his training regime.
This strength training is a key part of Holiday’s preparation, allowing him to guard multiple positions on the court and make a significant impact on the game. Guevara praises Holiday’s ability to adapt to any defensive assignment and his willingness to take on a supportive role on the team.
In my career, he’s approached the off-court stuff probably more intensely than the on-court stuff better than anybody I’ve worked with across the board in the NFL and the NBA… If you watch those videos, he’s squatting 285 pounds, 20 times. There’s not a single person on this planet that can do that besides him.Mike Guevara revealed in an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda
Holiday’s impressive defensive performances are a key factor in his success, and his training regime is designed to support this. Guevara notes that Holiday’s training allows him to make winning moments on the court, including intangible plays like hockey assists and deflections that lead to steals.
Jrue Holiday on the pressure playing for the Boston Celtics
Jrue Holiday had spoken about the pressure of playing for one of the most historic franchises in the NBA. In an interview with Yahoo! Sports, Holiday revealed that the weight of expectation and pressure of wearing the Celtics’ iconic green and white jerseys is unlike anything he’s experienced before.
I don't think anybody will know it until you play here. And that's not even just for somebody like me. I don't think anybody knows that type of pressure that you get when you're signed to a team like the Celtics. You're not just competing against the team across from you, or the other teams in the conference to get to the Finals. You're competing against ghosts.Jrue Holiday said to Yahoo Sports
Holiday explained that playing for the Celtics means competing against the ghosts of legendary teams and players who won championships for the franchise. He’s not just battling the opposing team, but also the legacy of greats like Red Auerbach, Bob Cousy, Bill Russell, Larry Bird, and Kevin Garnett.
Despite the pressure, Holiday has risen to the challenge, helping the Celtics win the NBA Finals and their 18th title. His performance has validated the hype surrounding his acquisition, and it seemed he was the missing piece to a championship team.
