Darko Rajakovic using food as Raptors’ motivator

Toronto Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic is taking an unconventional approach to motivate his team. In an effort to create a winning streak, Rajakovic has offered to buy the team dinner if they can beat the Miami Heat on Wednesday night.

The Raptors, who currently have a record of 9-11, are looking to have their first three-game win streak of the season. Rajakovic believes that a nice meal can potentially turn things around and foster success on the court.

Pascal Siakam, one of the team’s star players, is skeptical about this idea. However, Rajakovic is sticking by his decision and believes that it will help create consistency within the team.

“That’s something I took very to heart, to be honest with you,” Rajakovic said. “When I announced that, Pascal said, ‘Yeah, the team is gonna pay for that.’ He thinks I’m cheap, and that’s not true. Once we get three wins in a row, I’m taking players and staff to dinner, and it’s gonna be out of my pocket.”

While it may seem like a small gesture, offering to buy the team dinner shows Rajakovic’s commitment to his players and their success. It also creates a sense of camaraderie and unity within the team, as everyone will be working towards a common goal.

This type of motivation tactic is not often seen in professional sports, but it could be just what the Raptors need to turn their season around. By offering a reward for their hard work and dedication, Rajakovic is showing his team that he believes in them and wants to see them succeed.

Time will tell if this unique approach will yield positive results for the Raptors. In the meantime, the players and staff have an extra incentive to give their all on the court and secure that much-desired win streak.
