When it comes to a training routine, basketball player Kyle Korver says he tries to find balance. “I think one of the biggest challenges is finding energy. Basketball takes a lot of energy and then I have to go home and be a dad.” Korver, who’s the father to three children under six years old, says finding time for wrestling, tickling, and playing ball is key. “So, I have game day naps and I gotta try and be in bed by a certain time. On the road is where I do my massages because it’s not taking away time from my family....You still gotta live,” he says.
