One-on-one with Mitch Marner: On leaving the past behind, finding joy and growing into a better Maple Leaf
New York TimesLOS ANGELES — When Mitch Marner gets home from a long day at the rink, he prefers to unwind not by flipping on Netflix, but something called Twitch TV. “I like to think I’m pretty good at video games too,” Marner said, “so I think watching them helps your I.Q. “I just think more in my head it just really locked into — it’s a job,” Marner said. “It’s something you want to really try to be like.” As Marner made sure to note, “you’ve got to take care of your, you’ve got to make sure that you’re in the right thinking mind.” Marner was impressed by how much Harden seemed to know about him and the Leafs — “stuff that’s happened, we’ve gone through.” He’s embraced Harden’s “control the controllables” mentality. “I’m just trying to get a lot better meals in me,” Marner said, “trying to get a lot more greens and vegetables in me, which before I never really cared to eat.
