Option 2:

As my player enters what should be hit prime, I have to prepare for this season like it's my last, because in many ways, it is. Early seasons you have to grind hard, but you also have spare time as your body recovers fast and you don't really care about the big picture. Now I need to put myself in a position that allows me to fall off gradually as I age, rather than torpedo myself straight off a cliff, head first into a pile of jagged rocks. So now I've approached a healthy balance of working out rigorously and on off-days, staring at the stat page from last season and holding myself accountable by revisiting old game-logs. I feel like by torturing myself with my failures last season, I will be able to hit another level of running head first into every game next season in an attempt to never let off the gas. Oh, I guess I'll try to hit the ice a few times to improve my puck-skills, but more importantly, staring at the stat page and lifting weights.
