After the excitement of the draft, it was fair to say the next couple of weeks of Slab Head's career were a little underwhelming. For the first time in his young footballing career, Slab had no football to play.
With his recently completed career in the academy now behind him, and opening weekend of his first season for Paris a few weeks away, Slab Head had assumed he would be in the depths of training camp at this time. But no, as the majority of major and minor squads up and down the league were away on international duty. This left Slab Head with no structured training whatsoever.
Well Slab Head didn't like this very much. Slab had always enjoyed structure, routine, he like knowing exactly what he was doing with his day from the moment he woke up. If this wasn't dictated to him, he had to meticulously plan it out for himself. Some people may find doing the same things day in day out boring, but not Slab Head. He found the consistency rewarding.
And so, despite no formally organized training, Slab Head's daily routine was as structured and regimented as you could possibly imagine. He was in the gym, he was prehabbing previous injury spots, he was studying game film and improving JG his fitness, anything he could possibly think to give himself, and therefore Paris, an advantage in the upcoming season.
