Option 2:

Leading up to the new hockey season, as mentioned, training camp is a very important off-season task, and it’s crucial for all team members to show up and be ready to go. During the off-season, Kondos mostly relaxes by the beach, but he knows it’s also important to stay up-to-date with his cardio. When getting back into the gym with the Seattle Argonauts, Kondos tends to focus more on weights and lower body.

Due to training cardio in the off-season, it’s usually not a huge task to get his legs back under him. However, it’s important to get the muscles back into game shape because nothing matches the physicality of hockey. Until you start going through practices, cardio sessions, and bag skates, your body truly cannot get up to game speed.

That being said, no matter how much time you spend on the ice, nothing will match the speed of the game and the intensity it takes night in and night out.

Greyson Willis spares no details when training during the offseason. While other players are working with their so-called "personal trainers" and trying to come up with the best personalized workout plan, Willis has other plans. Whenever he finds out about a new workout, he does it, regardless of what it is or what muscles it targets. 10 mile hike? Let's go. Russian twists? Sure, why not? One-handed pushups with a 40 pound plate on your back? Builds character. He doesn't care what kind of workout he's doing, because what matters is doing it. That being said, Greyson's favorite workout is getting reps on the ice. It doesn't matter what kind of muscle building or endurance workouts you do if it doesn't translate to ripping the biscuit top bins. Whenever he can, he sneaks into the training facilities to get out onto the ice and just spend some time with the puck.

Written Option 2

I think all sorts of training go into what someone would look back on as a successful offseason, involving both physical training and mental training. Strength training is a given - the team harps on being in peak physical performance coming into camp to be able to start the season strong. That involves conditioning, such as endurance skating tests like suicides, or just time on a bike while monitoring a players' heart rate and vitals. It also involves various benchmarks with weight lifting such as squat weight and reps, bench weight and reps, some core strength as well such as planks. Beyond all those though, being mentally prepared for a season is equally important. There's a lot of rigors to a schedule, so the team tries to have a positive environment where players feel welcomed and comfortable, and there's a lot of openness and clear communication from management to the players. It helps a lot mentally in that regards, with plenty of both positive and negative reinforcement in a good balance to keep players on their toes yet motivated to do their best.

Option 2 -

Hockey is a very fast sport, and there has to be multiple traits that a player has to excel at to be at the top. From the lower body to the upper body, every part of the body is important in a sudden opportunity to score. Not to mention the mental resilience a player needs to survive at the level of intensity. Although Kevin includes workouts that incorporates all of these abilities, in his opinion, as players age, having consistent lower body strength and high hockey IQ is the most essential. First, as hockey is a very fast paced sport, the difference between a slower player and a faster player is huge. So as people age, keeping their speed at least 75% of their prime would provide consistent and better results compared to if they did not train. Therefore, demonstrating why lower body training is so important. Additionally, having good hockey IQ is as important as speed. If your speed is lacking, a player can incorporate different strategies that would insure success.

Needless to say that a healthy balance is still required should one hope to compete at the highest leagues. A strong physique is vital to succeed, for no technique can hold off a failing body. Andrea's training is thorough, but quite complete as opposes to a more specialized approach, though his style is one to favour a more nimble approach and plenty of endurance. That said, it'd be careless of one of such station to forego their own mental health and recovery. But the mind is a sharp edge, and sleeping is the whetstone required for any training to really matter. Some life-work balance is also invaluable to keeping off the pressure from a high-performance environment from sapping you from the inside, so there's still times at which time is reserved for himself as a person, to enjoy and share with his hobbies and people he cherishes, so that whenever he gets ahold of a stick, he can do it knowing he'll be in condition to give his darn best at it.

Written Option 1:

Slip McScruff would get out as fast as possible, he's got nothing to prove. In fact, he would delay signing with a team until after training camp so that he can avoid all this hassle. He can't beat them so he certainly doesn't want to join them. He'll learn a lot more with Youtube tutorials, a stable internet connection, and takeout food all summer. You can tell that he's serious because he orders pick up and walks to the restaurants for exercise and definitely not because there's a package store on the route to get some beer.

However, now we're stuck where Slip McScruff is so cozy in not worrying about training that he might regress a little extra hard this offseason. If he's sitting in his comfy chair, how will any GM know to sign him? Will he survive the off season? Find out on the Season 80 special of Survivor: SHL Veterans

Written Option 1:

I think my player, Walbilly Koala, would excel when it comes to social situations. Who could possibly ever stay mad at him? He’s just a little guy! Just a cuddly little omnivore (that vastly prefers meat even as a koala). I think that could carry him through the game. He wouldn’t be terrific at the skills needed to camp outside of competitions because he’s never had to do something like that after being raised around humans. While he’d prefer the benefits of modern living, his pride would make him stay in the game for as long as he could.

He’d severely suffer from Strength-based challenges because of how small he is. But give him a challenge that relies on speed or agility, and then you have your man (koala)! Speed and agility are his bread and butter! So, in sum, Walbilly has clear weaknesses in a Survivor-like game show, but also some pretty clear advantages. (155 Words)

Like all things the key to a good offseason training regiment is balance. It's just as important to feel recharged and ready mentally as it is to be physically prepared for puck drop. For Jesus Murphy, who grew up surrounded by the achievements and training styles of his father and grandfather, he knows just how important it is to impart the right mindset to the other young stars of the Seattle Argonauts. Making the transition from developing team to contender requires a great deal more than just skill and experience, as a group that has grown accustomed to lower expectations and moral victories now has to turn the corner and become elite, day in and day out. Working with sports psychologists to develop their mental game is such an increasingly important component of training, and Murphy has been flying that flag in the Argonauts dressing room since his arrival. To take that next step will require a great deal of focus and maturity l, and it's a step that Seattle faithful hope is imminent.

Prompt 1

My player would absolutely suck at this survivor thing. How am I supposed to survive in the wilderness without alcohol or drugs? No way I am lasting that long to be the sole survivor. I would like to be the first one to be send home. I am an old man too for christ sake. You can not do this to me at my age. It is pure torture. I want to be in civilization in my warm and cozy bed with the woman I love and the boze on the night stand. Wouldn't you want that either? This is dumbest idea this coach has ever brought in and I think he should be fired immediately. There are far better ways to prepare for the next season during summer camp. Like nights out with the boys and get lap dances in strip clubs you know. That is far better than this guy is suggesting...

Option 1: I would not do well in this sort of competition. Sure I would smash all of the physical challenges that are presented. However I am a man of refined taste. I would not dare eat any food that was not prepared by a chef. I wouldn't even be able to have my dinner without a 97 Pinot. That being said I could last a few days until the nuisances finally got to me. The first guy to get eliminated would definitely be Oliver Cornwall. That kid looks about as soft as they come. As soon as he walked into the locker room I had the urge to shove him in a locker. Just looking is his gawking little face made me take a step outside to smoke a pack of cigarettes. If anyone would have won this survivor challenge it would have been my buddy Outdoor Truck. He's gone now may God rest his soul.

Niclas Sundqvist is a real nature man. He thrives ok hikes and has been a regular in the forests close by to Manhattan (not the parks)! This is a big reward for him as he is used to camping outside. This simply means the offseason practise is given extra to him. Thanks to this, his physical shape is quite solid and he will manage well in tasks that has to do with strength, balance and stamina. Of course, he also has an edge regarding anything to do with the forest as he is an individual drawn to the forest. I think Niclas would take a leading role for his team, helping the teammates to be comfortable in sleeping in the wild. But also, he wants to send home the people most uncomfortable with the forest so they can instead get a practise they are more used to and more comfortable with.

Written Option 2

The type of player that you want to be will affect what you train. Of course, a general overall high level of fitness is needed but after that you have to get more specific. A few things are always needed for a player to get anywhere: Strong legs are always needed to stay upright on the nice and a solid core is more beneficial to a player then just having abs to show off to their latest conquest and of course there is stamina. You don't wanna be a one minute man out there so making sure you've got the stamina to go all night means a lot. For Akerson to maintain himself as one of the foremost power forwards in the league, he throws in a lot of upper body and strength training in addition to the aforementioned fundamentals. He wants to hit people. Both as one of the stronger checkers league but also when it comes to punching rival players in the face.

For Billy Herrington, the offseason is all about balance—both in physical strength and mental resilience. He believes that being a top-tier hockey player isn’t just about brute force or finesse; it’s about marrying the two while maintaining a calm, focused mindset. His offseason training program reflects this holistic approach. Physically, Billy focuses heavily on a balanced regimen. Lower body strength is critical for explosive starts and maintaining his edge work, so you’ll find him doing squats, lunges, and resistance sled pushes. But he doesn’t neglect upper body strength—he knows it’s crucial for battling in the corners and delivering accurate, powerful shots. Core strength is the linchpin of his routine, helping him maintain balance in tight situations and generate power for his signature wrist shots. Billy often jokes that his abs have “seen more planks than a pirate ship.” On the mental side, Billy is a huge advocate for sports psychology. His sessions with Van Darkholme, his trusted sports psychologist, focus on visualization techniques and mindfulness practices. Whether it's learning to reset after a tough shift or mentally preparing for high-pressure moments, Billy treats mental strength like any other muscle—it needs training. Meditation, breathing exercises, and journaling are staples of his mental regimen. Ultimately, Billy approaches survival in hockey with the same philosophy he brings to life: hard work, balance, and the belief that strength—whether physical or mental—is built through consistent effort. His offseason program ensures he’s ready to thrive, no matter what challenges the next season brings.
