Written Task: What kind of lifestyle should a hockey player live in the offseason? How can you best strike a balance between recreation and relaxation, and training for the next season? Should you simply spend the first half in the Caribbean and the second half in the gym, or is there some other training regimen you follow? Feel free to tell me what your player happens to do, or to showcase your own expertise in real-world athletic training!

It would depend on how long of a post-season I had or how many injuries I had during the season, Maybe a 2-3 week vacation before training would be needed to rest up and get ready for the season. Look to try and get to be explosive and try to build strength at the start of my training, then try to condition and maybe start to skate on the ice with a month left, so I will be in mid-season skating form to start the season. I find that to be something that is needed over the last couple of seasons and I think it would be something to do moving forward and I want to be a strong skater, its something that is probably my weakness and something that I need to work on to be a better hockey player and be an better overall hockey player to start the season
