the closer we get to offseason ending, my player gets more and more locked in. he trains hard all summer but goes hard by the end. he is especially motivated after a devastating finals loss. he has plans to finish the job next season and that will take hard work. his favorite way of practicing is playing roller hockey, he laces up the roller blades daily throughout the summer. he starts going to the gym more often. plyometrics is huge for him. there has to be a balance though, it's important to spend time with friends and family over summer cause he does not get time with them during the regular season and playoffs. he is incredibly focused during the season and does not make time for that, so making that time in the summer is a must. it can be challenging to find the balance  but it is necessary to be successful in the league and stay mentally well
