Written Option 2: Offseason is almost over and team training camp just over the corner. How does your player prepare during these last weeks before team is put back together. Is it time for rest to so you can endure the long season to come, do they ramp up their gym practises or maybe do some special technical training to further improve their skills to make the next step during their career or keep fighting the inevitable aging? How do they spend their last few weeks before team training camp?

Oliver Cornwall entered this offseason with a lot of excitement about the direction of the Whalers, and this enthusiasm has by no means been depleted over the offseason. After exceeding expectations by not only making the playoffs but even winning a round, the Whalers have shown that they are a legitimate squad and are capable of making noise in the playoffs, and Cornwall is determined to build off that. To facilitate that growth, he made his way to his home Cambridge following a tough WJC, and has been cross training with the local football club in his off time. He’s been watching tape to improve his decision making on the ice while also working on his foot speed and strength, which should help him be a more agile defender in his own end and ensure that he can clear the front of the net. While he was tempted to try the Aaron Rodgers school of meditation, he was talked out of it by friends and teammates, and will hopefully be a much improved player by more traditional means this season.
