Written Option 2

Your trainers matter. Physio guys can extend your career if you get a good one. Equipment managers have a hard, non-stop, thankless job that keeps the team running. But all of those guys can go to hell. The most important person in the entire arena is the team's head chef. This is the only person in the world that matters. If you time your season schedule properly, you will never pay for a meal. They will feed you in the morning, after a practice, before a game, after the game. They'll prepare your meal for the plane on the way to another city to play. They fuel you and treat you to the best of the best. If everyone on the staff was drowning and you could only save one of them, this is the only choice that can be considered correct. Befriending them is crucial to your lifestyle, as you can head over to their house and have them prepare your food when they aren't at work. The off-season can be full of their meals too. Treat them at a level higher than you ever thought was possible to treat another human.
