After several months of rehab following his season-ending shoulder surgery, Utah Jazz shooting guard Alec Burks is probably something of an expert when it comes to working out. Later this week, Burks will travel to the Philippines to share that expertise.

As part of NBA Fit Week, the Jazz swingman will be in Mandaluyong City at the Gatorade NBA Training Center to share tips and techniques in training and nutrition with Filipino athletes and coaches.

Burks is the second Jazzman to travel to the Philippines since the end of the team’s 2014-15 campaign. During the NBA Playoffs, Trey Burke was part of a league presence in Manila that held fan events and youth basketball clinics. Burks will be there on July 29 to launch the Fit Week festivities.

Joining Burks on the trip is Milwaukee Bucks wing Khris Middleton and five-time NBA champion and former Denver Nuggets coach Brian Shaw. In a team press release, the former Colorado Buffaloes star spoke about his participation in the event–

“I’m honored to have been asked to go to the Philippines and to be able to represent the Jazz there for NBA FIT Week. This is a great way to share the game of basketball and to give back to these elite athletes.”

As a guy who has apparently joined the ranks of the pre-diabetic, I can personally vouch for the importance of this kind of effort. Kudos to the league and Burks for continuing to do their part to contribute to the world’s athletic community.

Now drop and give me 20.
