Briefly describe how and why did you get involved in 3x3 Basketball?
I got involved playing 3x3 around 3 years ago, but I have been playing basketball for 13 years. My first 3×3 experience was when making a sportive vacation one summer, and after that, it became my passion.
"There is not much time for training...
however, nothings gonna keep me
away from Basketball and 3x3"
What do you study? How do you balance your study, trainings and competitions?
I study Electrical Engineering, an education which lasted 7 years. There is not much time for training, I wish it could be more balanced. However, nothings gonna keep me away from Basketball and 3x3.
Tell us about your experience of the European Universities Championships 2017. Is this your first time at an EUSA event?
It was my second time at an EUSA event, but first time as an athlete. I participated in the European Univeristies Games, 2016 in Rijeka as an assistant coach. Of course, it was better as an athlete because I love to play. It was unforgettable time of my life.
"meet new people, make good friends
from all over the Europe,
and make amazing memories"
In 2018 the European Universities Games 2018 will take place in Coimbra, Portugal, do you hope to be there? Why do you think university sport events are important?
I graduated last summer, so it is not possible for me to join the European Universities Games in 2018. I can say that these events are important, because it helps us to meet new people, make good friends from all over the Europe, and make amazing memories.
This is your chance! What is your message to European students like yourself?
Sport brings us power, joy and love!! Find what you love and try to improve yourself.
EUSA would like to thank Batughan and the rest of Middle East Technical University for their participation in Split!
