S80 PT #0: Survive Due: Sunday, December 15th @ 11:59 PM PST
#16

Of all the places to be sent to in Survivor:SHL, it's the damn arctic tundra in the middle of winter. I could not think of a worse locale to be competing in, but hey it's the name of the game. I'm hopeful I'm on the same tribe as a few Hamilton or Anchorage teammates, as that should help guarantee some early tribals (in case we don't win the challenges, but I think we will). The difficult part will be deciding when and where to manage my allegiances, assuming I even have the motivation to try and survive the cold that long. I like to think my competitive spirit would outweigh any negative feelings brought on by a miserable perpetual cold, but since I've never lived in the Arctic, I have no way of knowing how I'd respond. But, luckily I don't have to worry about this, and I'm also a zamboni so i cant ever get cold ha.

Written Option 2: Only the strong will survive! Or do they? How important part does physical or mental strength training play in your players offseason and how they do it? Are they focusing mostly on lower body strength or do they take more balanced approach? Or is it all about the core strength that helps them stay in right position at the goal? Maybe they think that surviving is really more dependent on mental strength and finding it inside themselves, but is there even a way to train that?

Kim Chaewon has developed a strong physical and mental game from her k-pop days and is looking to carry that over into the world of hockey. From having to memorize intense chroegraphy, lyri cs and making sure to not bump into other members of her group, Chaewon has had to endure a lot of struggle and hardships while in the k-pop industry and that has made her anti-fragile. For her first season in the SMJHL last season, a lot of opposing teams took advantage of her smaller frame and would play physical against her. Coming into the new season now, Chaewon has worked out intensely on her upper body strength (her lower body strength was already in peak shape) to be able to withstand bodychecks from other players. Poised to be in a more prominent role for the Kraken, Kim Chaewon will be relied more on from her teammates with the loss of Swedish Chef and will look to be fearless out on the ice.

Written option 1:

As Boots is now the veteran presence on his team, he is more inclined to let his teammates take advantage of the best equipment. Because of this Boots will intentionally lose some provided games or tasks, whatever make him stay longer. He would still keep himself fit, eat well and run laps around the encampment wherever they may be. Boots works with Antony Dionne, David Doug and David-Arturri Donskoi to help get everyone back sooner then them. Together they keep each other company and enjoy their time in the wilderness! As the group gets smaller, the first one they send back among them is David Doug as he longs for a proper bed and is tired of the outside. Eventually management come by themselves to pick up Dionne, DAD and Boots as their plan was revealed by Doug! The whole experience was enjoyed by all in the end. It was a great opportunity for team bonding, especially with some new teammates in Truck, Might Go IA and Emille Dionne!

Although technically hailing from Tampere, the Jaaskelainen clan are people of the wilderness and most of Simo's childhood holidays were spent surrounded by the forest and the snow, miles from civilization and with nothing but Mother Nature to keep him entertained. While some of the more pampered Argonauts struggle in the bitter competition Survivor inevitably descends into, Simo is right back in his element. Cold showers and swimming in frosty pools? Sleeping on the bare ground, huddled into the crook of a dead tree against the howling winds? What could be nicer?

It's over all too soon for Simo's liking. To nobody's shock, the heavily bearded madman outright refused to let his tribe send him home after their victories - not that anybody tried especially hard to convince him either, the appeal of a hot shower and comfortable beds simply too much for most people. Even as the coaches arrived to take the Argonauts home, Simo could be heard struggling to get away from his teammates as they hauled him bodily onto the bus, hollering that he just wanted one more frozen-lake swim, just one. One of the Seattle staff was heard to remark they regretted not bringing a tranquiliser gun.

As a survivor fan I love this prompt and first of all if I was to be on a survivor-like show I would be giddy with excitement. Now why the coach would be crazy enough to actually suggest this is beyond me. I would do well in this competition because I know it well and I can handle living in the wilderness. I would excel in mental tasks and would struggle in physical tasks. I would go all-in for the win and be as ruthless as possible because you only get one chance to win things like this. I would focus on gathering materials and tending to the fire while also finding close allies and figuring out who to vote out constantly. I would be disappointed there wouldn’t be a thing like Ponderosa where you get to just chill and watch everything unfold but I understand for the sake of this prompt.

written option 2

Both physical and mental strength training is vitally important during the SHL off season for my player, Leonard Wood. He makes it a year round continuous effort to stay in shape mentally and physically. It just that he does this in more fun ways in the off season. Physically, he likes to get outdoors and take hikes, go kayaking, play street hockey, swim, etc. Whatever he can do outdoors physically, he will. Because the rest of the year, he will be inside arenas and in dingy locker rooms across the country. So strength training in the sunshine is definitely preferred.

Next, he mentally strength trains by reading books. This keeps his mind sharp. It is exercise for his brain. He also likes to partake in competitive games like chess or online video games. Those also works out the mind and nurtures his need to compete. Also even rest is necessary for his mental strength.

Written Option 2

For goalies mental strength is probably a little more important than for skaters. Shaggy obviously does what most pro hockey players do in the off-season and that's training. A lot of training, both physical and mental training. He has different coaches that work with him, one for the physical training and one for the mental part. They've been doing this for a while now. Originally even his dad Harry helped coach him, but since moving to Winnipeg Shaggy has been working with the same coaches and it's working relatively well. The older you get, the more you learn what works for you and your body. This past off-season Shaggy put a focus on mental strength, partly because he's regressing (nobody wants to admit that, but it happens to everyone), but also because the team is currently in some kind of transitional phase - we're not calling it a rebuild! - where they have lots of difficult games to play and mental strength is key.

option 2

dieter frühstück takes a balanced approach when it comes to offseason strength training. it's well known that frühstück, who is six foot nine, is an incredibly strong guy due to his size and generally built physique. as such, he tries to keep it balanced between his upper and lower body because he knows how important both are for the sport of hockey. a strong upper body allows you to throw mean hits and generate a good back swing for your slap shots, as well as making sure your grip on the stick is good for preventing stick lifts. however, leg day is crucial for hockey players, as strong legs make you a better skater; they also help with shooting and hitting. a strong core makes sure that you can absorb blocked shots easier - a must for frühstück, who loves to put his body on the line. dieter keeps these things in mind as he rolls throughout the offseason, knowing that focusing on a balanced body strength-wise will make him a better player.

Written Option 2:

Physical strength plays a big role in Ville Sato-Maki's offseason training as he moves from the SMJHL to the SHL with the Winnipeg Aurora. Hoping to man the center position of the third line, Sato-Maki has to be strong on his skates, winning puck battles and doing well defensively. And so, Ville really upped his physicals this offseason working on skating, edgework, and balance. However, as he is moving from the SMJHL, he is also preparing for a completely different league where players may be much faster and stronger than he is and to not be discouraged being a step behind others to start. He has to be prepared to lose and to have to keep battling with his head held high to continue his progression in the SHL. Overall, Ville Sato-Maki's offseason training regiment is focusing on physicals, but the mental side of the game is definitely not one to overlook. Looking forward to see how his preparations turn out on the ice in a little less than a week!

Written 1: I think that Langston would do quite well in a survivor setting with him not getting eliminated for a while since his popularity would likely come from his cooking. He loves being outdoors and in nature, but above all he prefers relaxing in a warm climate. With this eating into his relaxing time, he probably would do the tasks as quickly and efficiently as possible so he can get to lounging. He would be very happy go lucky about staying in the “competition” as he would love to get back on the ice and to his pool by the grill but at the same time, he recognizes the great team building that could happen and how necessary it is for particularly the younger players to see their alternate captain trying as hard as he can. With that, I think Langston would subtly throw one of the last challenges in a bid to make sure one of the younger players won to give them some confidence.

Option 2: Luckily our junior coaches at the Citadelles give us a detailed off-season program we can go through each day. It's specifically designed for each player.I do my bench-presses, pull-ups, deadlifts, squats, split-squats, you name it. Upper body, lower body, core... Nothing should be ignored. I try to get this done in the morning, but I usually stay active the rest of the day as well as I can. Maybe a round of golf or go kick a ball around with friends in the park. A buddy also got a little place at Lac Saint-Joseph where I can go for a swim if I want to or we go out on the lake with his boat. Which brings me to the mental part of offseason preparation. I tried meditation. but it's not really my thing. Nature clears my head, though, and helps me focus. So going out on the lake or going on hikes is important to me. I also see a mental coach that helps me set goals for the upcoming season and to identify weaknesses and unhealthy patterns. It's gonna be another gruellling season, but I feel like I'm well prepared and in good hands.
