"Himar":

Himar Ojeda started his professional career as an Assistant Coach at Gran Canaria in the ACB from 1999-2007 before transitioning to the front office of the same club.  He also worked as a Sports Director at CB Estudiantes before working as an NBA scout for one season with the Atlanta Hawks. Nevertheless, he chose to take on a new challenge and signed with ALBA Berlin in 2016 and has been the team's sports director ever since. Signing with a club that has a rich history as ALBA Berlin was a challenge in itself especially during a rebuild but him and the team still managed to bring home several cup & domestic titles during his period while competing in the Euroleague.

Today, Himar and me talked about several topics that encompass the job of a sports director in general. Himar broke down to me what it means to run a club, which parts of the job are relatively unknown, the 'secret sauce' of Aito and the footsteps he left behind, the integration of youth into the pros. Himar used many examples that show how applicable the culture building can be, how closely everyone works in the offices together and brings everyone on the same page.
