Daniel Grumathan always goes 110% during the preseason. The only way to get better and move up in this profession is to put in all the work possible cause everyone else in the league is constantly working on their game as well.

After the scheduled practice, Daniel will work out a bit and talk to the coaches on what they think he needs to improve on and how to go about doing it. After that it's ice bathes some stretching to keep the body ready for the next day. Daniel doesn't work out everyday though. On one of the days of the weekend, he always dedicates the day to some friends and family.
