Valtteri uses a balanced approach to training. Focusing on lower body strength to create explosiveness, stability, and control, squats, lunges, and plyometric exercises helped him move quickly. Maintain balance and strength in times of crisis. Core strength is equally important for Valtteri. He uses a plank. Throwing a medicine ball and rotational movements to improve consistency and maintain position during challenges on the field. However, Valtteri recognizes that mental strength is just as important. He uses visualization to practice game situations. Set goals to stay accountable. and practice mindfulness to stay calm under pressure By pushing yourself both physically and mentally during the off-season. Valtteri is making sure he not only survive, he thrives and is ready for whatever the game brings. His dedication sets the tone for the entire team and inspires others to follow his example. With this frame of mind Valtteri is ready to turn hard work into results when it matters most. This level of commitment is what separates the good players from the great players.

When the coach said we’d be doing Survivor-style training camp, I laughed. Me? Grindle? Roughing it in the wilderness? Let’s get real, I’m built for bright lights, not campfires. But hey, I’ll bite. Maybe I'd become the best survivor to ever survive in the world. Besides, how hard could it be? Spoiler: NOT hard.
Physical challenges? Crushed it, obviously. Canoe races, obstacle courses, all that outdoorsy stuff, i was in my element. Mental challenges? for widdle babies. Puzzles are dumb easy, and I'm well known for my huge brains when I take the ice. Plus, I had the charm to build the best team ever made. I teamed up with Jackass Pants (dude’s a tank) and Nanashi Mumei (big brains), and we dominated. They loved me, obviously. Camping? Not even hard guys. its overrated. Bugs everywhere, my food turned into charcoal, and I basically froze every night. So? I adjust. I thrive. that's the grindle way. Naturally, I won the whole damn thing. Survivor? Nah, I’m a thriver.

The Argonauts are all mightily trained warriors and heroes, tasked to find the Golden Fleece. As such, they're used to working under the worst of situations. The Seattle Argonauts live with a work ethic and drive to win that consistently pushes them and forces them to be better. For them, a Survivor-like training camp would be nothing out of the ordinary. There are no players that simply want to get eliminated early; they all have a high level of compete. In terms of teams, it's hard to say what to expect. Linemates obviously have initial chemistry, and would be likely to form alliances early on. However, as the game progresses, everyone knows that it isn't just as simple as working with the people you're used to working with. Alliances evolves, and betrayals and backstabs are common. With that said, the winner eventually would end up being Squiddy because he's a cool dude, and nobody would want to vote him out.

Puddles would definitely win the entire show. He has a strong brain and strong muscles. He may struggle with some of the eating tasks, but honestly I don’t think those would be a problem either. He’s used to eating worms and dirty water, and most of the eating challenges are gross things to humans. But gross things to humans aren’t gross to ducks. As far as the strength and physical ones go, I’m not sure of a task that a 6 foot 9, 269 pound physical specimen who can fly wouldn’t dominate. Mental would be east too. I’m a professional athlete that has to calculate dozens of movements and thoughts each second of the game. The hardest part would be not showing off too much in the challenges, otherwise I might voted off out of jealousy or fear. To combat that I will have to use my charm that I’ve always had since I was a mascot.

The Atlanta Inferno are living the reality of Survivor! Coach Micool has finally gone mad and is sick and tired of how poorly the Atlanta players trained during the offseason and has sent them into the wilderness to get them back in shape (and for his own entertainment!) Jiggle E Puff will not do well in these conditions!!! As a famous singer in the pokemon world, he is used to living the lift of a rockstar during the offseason, with all the perks and benefits that come with it. Likewise, as an all-star hockey player, he tends to be treated very well during the season as well! Jiggle's approach to the competition will be to hang with Puddles O'Duckling and use him as a sacrificial lamb if things go wrong. Jiggle will likely be voted off very early in the show as he is utterly useless at all things that aren't hockey or singing so he will just get to live in a hotel for a bit and prepare for the season

Option 1:
Hampus doesn't do well in the wilderness, certainly not something that he is build for since he is in fact a laundry hamper. Usually dirty things do go in him but in a clean indoor environment, certainly not in the cold and filthy jungle. Hampus hates to get dirt in his hamper and that happens constantly outside, he knows that this is the coaches wish to train but to be honest he doesn't try that hard so he can go home. The type of challenges that Hampus does excel at is carrying things through an obstacle course, he can just pop whatever he needs to in the hamper and run the course with both hands and feet available. He'll try and make a few survivor type relationships and attempt to win a few of the challenges but as I said, he wants to go back to his bed more than anything else. So Hampus will make it through 2 to 3 challenges before getting eliminated and going home.

So Clarence is actually a huge fan of The Challenge which is similar to Survivor in some ways but very different in others. That being said he would probably fare very well on the show. He's fairly unknown with his new team so it wouldn't be too difficult to make an impression. The key is to do just enough to be valuable but not enough to every seem like a real threat. Be reliable to the right people and then pounce when the timing is right. He wouldn't be too committed to any one alliance unless the game called for it. He would bring a decent amount of skills as outdoor living isn't too foreign to him. Whether is fire, cleaning, or finding wild herbs to make the rice taste less bland, he's pretty resourceful. He'd do find in the actual immunity challenges too, but he'd only actually go for the win if his game was on the line. 159 words

Ubba Lodbrok, center for the Philly Forge of the Simulation Hockey League, former prospect for the ANchorage Armada of the Simulation Major Junior HOckey League and current representative of the Finnish National Team, has never been voted off the island. There's a good reason for that, he grew up in the outskirts of Copenhagen, Denmark and had family who lived in the deep country of Finland. This means that Ubba Lodbrok has been accustomed to the extreme nature of all types, well mostly the cold, but you get the idea. Now, he's obviously really good at building shelters, lighting fires, dealing with bugs and animals, but what he's not good at is the easiest ones, like balancing an egg while someone telling you wehre to go, or playing jumpskip in the ocean. He'd obviously team up with Base Pack to get the best advantage going in and try to sabotage the rest of the players on the other team. Ubba Lodbrok does not care about a "comfy bed"

Mental and physical preparation are key for any long and grueling season like we have here in the SHL. During the offseason I spend a ton of time making sure that I’m focused on growing both of those areas of my game to be ready for the start of the regular season. While the time spent in the gym and on ice doing skating training are incredibly important, the mental aspects of preparing for a long season are often overlooked by some of the other folks in the league. However, there are a few things that I have found that really changed and expanded my preparation for seasons. The first is to spend more time in the offseason in meditation. Relaxing the mind can help clear up some of the noise that exists from the previous season. Additionally, I’ve found that studying game tape can have a really big impact and influence on the kinds of things that I want to do in my physical training program in the offseason. So, certainly, every offseason I’m leveraging both physical and mental parts of my training program to get better for the upcoming season.

Written Option 2:
Charles Darwin, Evolution, Survival of the Fittest, Natural Selection and Selective Breeding; what do they all have in common? That talent and physical strength aren’t something that can be learned. I’m talking about god-given talent. But, where there’s a will, there’s a way. You can hit the weight room, study tape and juggle some balls to improve your hand-eye coordination. Something else to improve your game is proven science. No, not steroids; I’m talking about sports psychology and the mental strength it can provide that will separate you from the pack. Famous athletes have used sports psychologist to help improve their game and many have attributed their tenured career to sports psychology, including Craig Andersen, Brian Elliott and Wyndham Clark. Being a professional athlete can be stressful and that stress can interfere with anyone's ability to perform at a high level, including a loss of sleep, lack of motivation, drug abuse and distraction. The ability to keep your confidence up in tough moments can keep your game on point and lengthen the career of an athlete. Some key techniques include, goal setting, visualization, relaxation and positive self-talk. |
