Athletes aim to leverage the implications of the title win in basketball

In the world of German basketball, excitement is building as the new season approaches, and one team in particular is generating a lot of buzz – SV Leonberg/Eltingen. The men’s team, under the leadership of new coach Oliver Cicione, is set to make a strong impact in the upcoming season.

Last season, the team, led by coach Niko Tokas, secured an impressive third place in the league. Tokas believes that the positive effect of Sunday's EM victory will be particularly beneficial for youth development, and he is optimistic about the team's prospects this year.

The team's improved team spirit from last season is evident, and Tokas is keen to maintain this positive atmosphere. He believes that the league is more balanced this year, with no weak teams, which promises a challenging and exciting season.

Despite not undergoing a major overhaul for the new season, SV Leonberg/Eltingen is poised to make a strong showing. The team consists of about 80% young players, with the other 20% being experienced players. This youthful energy, combined with the wisdom of the veterans, could be a powerful combination.

One of the experienced players is Jochen Mikait, a 41-year-old center who has been with the SV for seven years. His experience and leadership will undoubtedly be invaluable to the team.

Tokas does not focus on specific goals for the season, but aims for the maximum performance. With the team's spirit, balance, and potential, it seems that the bar for success is set high.

However, the team will have to wait a week longer than usual to start their season due to a private commitment. Despite this delay, the anticipation for SV Leonberg/Eltingen's performances this season is palpable.

On a national level, the German national basketball team has secured places at the previous World Cup and European Championship, adding to the excitement surrounding the sport in Germany. As the new season begins, eyes will be on SV Leonberg/Eltingen to see if they can continue to make a significant impact in the league.
