In the two weeks leading up to team training camp, Chicago Syndicate sophomore forward Sad Ketchup tries to emulate the day to day routine to get his mind and body back into game day shape. This is the time to prepare his body for the grind of the Simulation Hockey League season. So for example, he'll wake up every morning at the time he normally would for practice and or game day. He would do his routine and get himself ready. His routine usually involves working out, and resting, a mixture of both. This helps get his body ready for the grind of team training camp and lowers the risk of injury if his body is already used to the grind. Sad Ketchup also likes to spend time with some of his family, as during the grind of the season it can be hard to make time for special people in his life as the life of an athlete is tough. Sad Ketchup does his best to both train hard, but also relax because it is important to find the balance.
