Derrick White was there when the Boston Celtics and Boston Scientific, a nearby biomedical engineering company, launched the 2024 “Fit for a Cause” Challenge yesterday. During the mid-January to mid-March fitness challenge, which is a cooperation with the Boston Celtics, staff learn about nutrition and performance and participate in challenges to generate money for a local community organisation that will win a gym refurbishment.

Under the guidance of Derrick White and the team’s training staff, dozens of children engaged in a lighthearted competition including a range of fitness tasks, such as evaluating their vertical leaping and running abilities and dashing past motion detectors.

Afterwards, White detailed his fitness routine, which includes a post-game lift to help with recovery, as well as a high-protein diet. Lately, he said, the team has been serving players with smoothies and yogurt after games in order to help them replenish. Beforehand, the typical meal consists of chicken teriyaki with rice, or pasta with red sauce. White was asked if he ever cooked himself, and quickly answered, ‘no.’

“What’s special about ‘Fit for a Cause’ is that it empowers our employees to support local organizations while creating healthier habits for themselves along the way,” said Mary Beth Moynihan, a senior vice president at Boston Scientific. “For the eighth consecutive year, we’re excited to team up with the Celtics for some healthy and competitive fun while also making a real difference in our communities.

Following the event, CelticsBlog had an exclusive one-on-one interview with White.

What do you like most about these kinds of community events?

Being a member of the community and just witnessing it is always significant. There is a focal point for every occasion. It’s always a good idea to start early with the kids since health, nutrition, and simply being active at any age are vital. That group today was excellent.

You’ve now played for the Celtics for three years. What distinguishes this specific group?

We just acquired a group of people that share the same goal. We all get along well off the field, great guys. Because of this, playing basketball every day is enjoyable. Many males that are competitive competing.

You may have seen online that a lot of people think your podcast participation on Old Man and the Three was the reason for your shooting slump. Do you think the curse exists?

I didn’t think it was real. There would be highs and lows over the lengthy season, and I wasn’t very into the jinx, or whatever they were calling it. I just need to keep shooting and maintaining my confidence. Make an effort to get more photos.

What has impressed you the most about Jordan Walsh, throughout training camp and the time you’ve had with him after his recall?

He is going down there, learning a lot, competing, and just getting those repetitions. Since the NBA game is unique, he is doing this in a game that is similar to the NBA. He is a young child who is always asking questions and seeking improvement on a daily basis. It’ll be nice to meet him once again. He is a part of us even in his absence. It’ll be good to have him return.
