NBA star Jakob Pöltl inspires children at camp in Vienna!
Jakob Pöltl, the 29-year-old Austrian NBA star, inspires his fans not only on the field, but also through his involvement in the community. Pöltl recently held a children's camp in the Steigenteschgasse round hall in Vienna-Kagran. The camp sold out quickly, showing the strong interest and support of his hometown. Pöltl, who is 2.18 meters tall, plays as a center in the NBA and has impressively demonstrated his dunking, rebounding and blocking skills in his nine seasons.
One particular achievement that has earned him the attention of many basketball lovers is his significant improvement in his free throw percentage. This increased from 55.1% to 67.4%, which can make the difference in the game at crucial moments. Pöltl recently stated that “many people can use the free throw when a missed throw has no consequences,” which reflects an interesting perspective on the pressure placed on players. [DerStandard] reports that he is not only growing as a player, but also acting as a mentor to the next generation of basketball players.
