Waking up from the dream The Murray really isn't quite sure what just happened, but then it hits him like he hits opponents on the ice. Coach Cooper came to visit him last night and he came with a warning, "You've made it to the show, but you aren't playing hockey any more. You're out there like it's the octagon hitting people for no reason and ignoring the biscuit. If you want to stay in the SHL you need to find your game again." This dire warning rattles him, but there has to be a reasonable explanation for it all. Ghosts aren't real right? The season opener is just around the corner. This whole thing can simply be written off as jitters before his debut in Tampa. With some comfort in that logic he still decides it is best to go talk to the team psychiatrist. Because after all, mental health is health too and if he's having these nightmares maybe they can help him.

I cannot speak for everyone else in the league. There are a lot of different options in lifestyle and how you choose to live it, both during and once the season is complete. But for Logan Webb there is only one answer. You see during the season it is hard work each and every day. Bust you ass while in practice, bust you ass on the ice during a game, bust your ass in class studying game film and planning for the next opponent. Gym, class, ice, repeat. Always doing what someone else tells him to do. Truth be told it is kind of hard to turn that part of him off. So, during the offseason he finds his way into his favourite dungeon with Mistress Veronica Chains basement and engages in a two month long…exercise regimen. This regimen helps him blow off some stress, as he gets stretched out, worked over and releases a ton of pressure that can sometimes build up. While some would claim a few months of this kind of work may be over kill, for Webb it is just what he needs to get his mind ready for the next season.

Demir Bellona is a first overall pick in two consecutive leagues. As such, he doesn't need to spend a ton of time training in the gym or on the ice with personal trainers all summer long. No, Bellona can do whatever the hell he wants. Before returning to Quebec City for his sophomore season, he went back home to Florence to see his family and spend some time in Tuscany at his family's vineyards. Bellona wasn't stressed about coming into camp a couple of pounds heavier, he was one of the best defenseman in the league already. Pastas and pizzas were his diet all summer long and it was good to finally taste real italian cuisine again because since he came over to north america and tried the italian style dishes, he could tell it was all botched and didn't taste like the real thing. Quebec City didn't need to hire a nutritionist for him, he would be ready for preseason.

Written Task: What kind of lifestyle should a hockey player live in the offseason? How can you best strike a balance between recreation and relaxation, and training for the next season? Should you simply spent the first half in the Caribbean and the second half in the gym, or is there some other training regimen you follow? Feel free to tell me what your player happens to do, or to showcase your own expertise in real-world athletic training!

What is the point of playing a game if you do not go spend a bunch of time on vacation during the offseason? They have gyms at the resort right? And then you get all that money that you gotta spend at some time so I say the offseason should be heavily awesome and only lightly sucky. Now that being said - I am assuming that a professional athlete's version of "sucky" is a lot more work than my personal opinion of "sucky" but gotta make sure to get that rest and relaxation in.

So lets just say you are on a team that didn't win the cup and are off starting in May. Go spend June and July doing whatever it is you want to do while still generally spending some time at the gym, then hit it hard in August. But this is probably also why I am not a professional athlete. I would be a tub of lard burning poolside while drinking margaritas and never make it back to camp.

option 2:

Inactive forever gets his best of both worlds in the offseason. With more time to purely focus his game, hes able to take 2-3 weeks completely off when the season ends. During that time he can do whatever he wants, party, relax, all of the above. The next couple months Forever gets a beach house in a nice place with an amazing gym. He relaxes by watching film, and can work out as much as he wants by still relaxing on the beach. Forever can do this cuz hes super rich, and sometimes he invites teammates or old friends to come train with him. But only sometimes, see forever likes his solitude. He'll still party in these two months, but not the long bender that the first couple weeks usually are. Forever will come back to the city with a couple weeks to spare, get his mind back into the start of the season and get ready to play

The concept of ghosts or consciousness in general isn't one that Pork Tenderloin is all too familiar with. In all honesty, he probably saw that hockey coach as just another dude walking around and listened to him just like he would for any other person. He'd listen and heed the words of this wise hockey master and tell him that he is going to do his best to find his hockey spirit and continue to hone his craft the only way he knows how. In all honesty it's a little confusing that Pork Tenderloin would have a mite hockey coach considering he never really was a child in the first place. He never had any tutors in his "youth" to teach him hockey, he only had coaches in the SHL and SMJHL who taught him how to play and allowed him to hone his craft in the first place. But since hockey is his passion he is going to heed the words of wise hockey masters.

the offseason period should definitely feature a good balance between resting and resetting onesself and training to show up strong the next season. philippe eko eel strives to achieve this balance by spending some time back underwater with his eel family where he is more comfortable - to be honest it's tough for him to breathe air since as an eel he is primarily an underwater creature so he kinda gets a lot of his water life in during the offseason to build up an internal fortitude reserve to make it through the season. he does plenty of underwater workouts to keep the physicals strong, and he plays NHL on his underwater xbox 360 to make sure he is continuing to think about hockey to keep the mentals strong. he shows up for training camp refreshed and ready to take on the new season in full. He does stay in touch with his teammates and coaching staff throughout the offseason via his underwater phone which allows him to access regular social media applications.

Ekaterina's life was centred around vodka. Before a game. After a game. After a period. After practice. On the plane, on the bus, at the children's hospital. And of course, during the off-season.

She used to be injured more and more or had problems after the playoffs to get back in shape and stay healthy. The doctor recommended stopping alcohol completely. It's when she learned about myofibrillar protein synthesis, how vodka stops the process of regeneration after a prolonged exercise, and how it impacts skeletal muscle mass. She switched to beer, which was not that good, but has lower side effects. As muscle growth is one of the main outcomes of effective myofibrillar protein synthesis, an athlete can become injured more easily if consuming alcohol, and that is what happened during her first summers in Baltimore - or happened to many Habs players in a parallel universe. So you read it first here, last summer, Ekaterina did not get drunk each day and could train more effectively, not being injured all the time.

Pinli's a little young to be being visited by old ass ghosts but he's never been one to kick up a fuss so I suppose he rolls with the punches. Even if he feels like he's still got a lot of zeal for the game, what with this only being his second year of professional hockey, he doesn't want to make the ghost feel bad. He put in all this time to line up guests, get his spirit onto our plane, muster up the strength to actually speak to Pinli, so whatever he's got planned-- we're gonna do it. Visiting Pinli's grave? Sure, why not? Eating a big ham leg with some orphans? Pinli does that every weekend anyway. (He donates a whole truckload of signed hams each week.) Yes deep down in his heart Pinli knows this ghost coach must have messed up visiting such a young player who's so full of life, but what the hell. What else was he doing? There's no practice in the morning so lets go enjoy the night with this nice old man.

Vaseline Podcalzone does believe in ghosts. Yes, it seems silly, but growing up, his parents and grandparents would tell him ghost stories as lessons to take away and ensure that he stayed on his best behaviour. So, it was more than likely not a trick on the eyes and he had lost his ways in the game of hockey. It becomes clear with the start of this regular season that Podz is still shaken up by this apparition and is not in the swing of things.

When asked about his slow start to the regular season, Podcalzone asked a reporter: "do you believe in ghosts?", before going on to explain the dream to the entire media scrum. Now, naturally, the social media world of the SHL has taken up the opportunity to make memes about it. However, no matter how much Podz wants to laugh it off, he knows that he has to find his spark once again and play hockey "the right way", whatever that may be.

Option 2: Kaarlo koivunen himself ussualy spends a lot of his time just chilling most of the day and at some part of the day he tries doing some exercises to help his game so this way he can enjoy almost every day of the off season while also keeping up with the game making him ready for the start of the season perfectly with all of the execrises he has done along with all of the chilling meaning his physically and mentally ready for the opening night and making him preform the best immedeatly and not just get into the game at the middle of the season maxemizing his skill and potential and also helping the team overall with his readyness of execrises and rest from the off season making him produce a lot at the early season when others are still just feeling the vacation he is passing and scoring
