For a long time there has been talk of the famous culture of Heat de Miami. For some it is very easy to understand, while for those outside the combo it is difficult to process what exactly they mean when they talk about it. Cole Swider, who joined the club a few days ago, is one of the cases of players who have found the chemistry in South Florida fascinating.
When Swider first arrived at the facilities of the Heat Earlier this month, he immediately headed off to take a regulation conditioning test. when the owner Pat Riley and the coach Erik Spoelstra They’ve mentioned that “we’re not for everyone,” much of that relates to the conditioning demands of the team.
“Is incredible. Heat culture is real“Swider said on the Locked On Heat podcast. “The first time we got there we did 10 back and forth sprints.”

But that’s exactly what the player was looking for. Three organizations, Milwaukee, Boston, and Miami offered him invitations to their camps. And while the first two are serious title contenders, only the Heat had the track record Swider and his agent were looking for.
“When you look at those situations, there is no better situation than Miami. My agent was adamant that the Heat it was a great opportunity for me. And have guys like Max Strus y Duncan Robinson who came in recently, worked to get a role and got big contracts in the future, it was very compelling for me to come here,” he added.
Another surprise for Swider upon arriving at the team facility was to see how the Heat he was training defense at this point in the month of August.
“You’re doing defensive assignments, which is a rare thing during the summer in the NBA“he counted.
