Option Two:

Who needs balance! When you work hard all season you have to take at least take a break for a couple of weeks in the offseason. Enjoy life to the fullest! After travelling around for so long and having to play and train every single day every player in my opinion deserves to spend time with their family and in their own home for at least two thirds when there is the chance to not play! Enjoy some great food, some amazing company of friends and just sit back on the couch and relax for a while is the way I do it. The last third of the offseason can then be spent to get back into shape and do the things that are needed. That way the body and mind is ready for a full schedule again and the family is pleased to have been able to spend some time with their loved one.
