Taip pat aptarėm naują augančią kartą ir kokie iššūkiai laukia tėvų, auginančių jaunus sportininkus naujomis aplinkybėmis - kaip pasikeitusios gyvenimo sąlygos keičia ir žaidėjo mentalitetą, norą nugalėti bei kovoti už būvį.Linas pasidalino asmeninėmis istorijomis iš “savo laikų” ir palygino juos su dabartine situacija krepšinio pasaulyje! Kalbėjom ir apie aistrą motociklams, Lino patirtis būnant sporto direktoriumi Ryto komandoje ir dar daug įdomių istorijų.Šis epizodas yra unikalus ir labai svarbus išgirsti šiuolaikiniam sportininkui bei jo tėvams.
