I think they’re trying to get them on the local time schedule, wear them out and then get them to bed at the proper local time tonight.
I’ve done that coming home from California, taking the red eye and then working all day to get back on eastern time rhythm.
bed at proper local time = 4 AM Papi DJ techno session
Ha yea these dudes aint sleepin for the next 7-10 days. No. Sleep. Til Cville
But how will they practice slides and close outs without proper rest :0
For me, that’s the least bad option headed to Europe. No sleep (or minimal) on the flight. Power through and be super tired or nap and risk the jet lag?
For me, best to power through. You’re tired, but at least get on the local time faster…
Edit - to be clear, the “no sleep” part is foisted upon me, not my choice. If I ever win the lottery, I’d love to try a lay flat bed and see how that goes…
It was mentioned above the walk ons don’t go on these trips. Do the managers? And if not, who handles their typical duties on the trip? @DFresh11 or anyone else know?
Jayden’s face in these pics is so relatable. Lol! Get some sleep!
Also, seeing these pics makes me realize I really want to go back to Rome.
Napping is always a failure in that situation unless you have a really specific window (“I’m exhausted, its 12:30 and I’ve got a meeting at 3.”), because actually getting up from the nap is vastly harder than just staying awake which you’ve already failed to do.
Pro tip is to take a shower when you land (the BA Heathrow arrivals lounge is pretty amazing). Makes a world of difference.
agreed.
Anything besides a nap trying to take the place of said nap is a failure … just a band-aid … naps rule.
I’d sleep on the flight, doze in the car, quick nap at the hotel, early dinner straight into bedtime, sleep 12 hours and wake up ready to maul some face
Hopefully you budget time for Chianti, Brunello, and Barolo
Prior to take off and during dinner
Also find a patch of grass and walk around in it barefoot for 5-10 minutes. Sounds hippy but it works.
Seriously? What’s the mechanism? Good for circulation or something?
i didnt realise walk ons didnt go. We had managers on our France trip back in the day. No way a team road trip works without managers
Don’t think anyone understands the the why yet but they’ve found it lowers cortisol levels. Similar benefits if you do it for a certain period of time a week (would have to look it up but want to say 45 minutes range? 15 minutes 3 times a week type of deal) even when you aren’t traveling. Falls under the mindfulness practice of ‘grounding’
