Prompt 2

I can’t speak to the common player, but M’Baku Olubori hasn’t known a minute of peace in years. When he came over to North America, he initially was a little more chill. Went home to be with family for a bit, but also showed up to participate in World Juniors stuff. That all changed after his agent turned GM, Johnny Hamilton, enrolled him in Cassius Darrow’s summer conditioning camp.

Many may have forgotten Darrow’s… passion for fitness. That summer camp in Seattle? It’s hell, and it’s where Baku and Lias Ekholm-Gunnarsson forged a friendship. Those summers pushed both men to their limits, and instilled some habits in Baku. Now, he takes a little time off each offseason to spend time with his family and loved ones. Part of that, he helps run summer camps in both Baltimore and Abuja, Nigeria for youth. While in Baltimore, he’s still training like it’s the season. Iron sharpens iron, and Baku’s blades are sharp. He stays focused because he’s staying engaged with Sweden’s IIHF camp and tournament each summer.

If you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready, and Mr. Olubori is always ready to throw the pads back on. He sets the tempo for the younger players who join Baltimore, leading by example to help the team continue their upward climb.
