Look, who is the king on the basketball court ... Prince Daniel showed today that old play skills are still from his early years in Ockelbo basketball club.
- Did you see my shot? he asked proudly.
At the Ängslätt school is an extended school day five days a week with 45 minutes sports on the schedule every day with quickly noticeable results.
- Unbelievably good and important. We should all move more. Just look here at the school which positive effect it has. It is important, not only in school, to get that daily exercise. If you move every day this study shows that the results will be better, said Daniel as he today received a demonstration of the project.
4A class had their sports lesson when the Prince was visiting and it was a variant of basketball, the schook calls it basketfia. Basketball in a whole new way, but it wasn't difficult for the prince, he quickly went into one of the teams and pepped his teammates:
- Now we win this one. Come on. This will go well.
One of the moments in basketfia was that as soon as possible dribble around a taped track. When it was Prince's turn, he took off his jacket and rolled up his sleeves. Then he threw himself in the path of the ball and it went considerably fast.
Afterwards, he was a little impressed with himself and admitted that he actually has a past in Ockelbo as a basketball player.
- Well, actually, but that was long time ago. Then I was like this little, he said, and swung his hand. But some skills are still there.
The minister for Health and Social Affairs, Göran Hägglund was impressed by the prince's fighting spirit and afterwards he gave praise:
- Well done.
Daniel smiled a little embarrassed.

The pupils:
- I was a bit nervous before. I wondered if I would have to sit back extra straight when Prince Daniel arrived. But I did not have to sit very straight, said Nora Hedlid.
- Both were nice and behaved like ordinary people, says Liam Johansson.
