"When you are at home, it is easy to rest, to delay working out, to relax," said NLEX Road Warriors star Kiefer Ravena. For Aldo Panlilio, the head strength and conditioning coach of the Phoenix Fuel Masters, it all boils down to players knowing their responsibilities. "They know it is good for them and they know we are here to help them stay ready," Panlilio added."I just believe that I can trust them enough to do things properly."As players compete in 3 conferences all year round, having a couple of months to take a break from basketball is a positive thing.
"As much as possible, you want to replicate at least close to the intensity of practice. The cuts, the jumping, the contact of getting bumped by the cutter or fighting over a pick – those are hard to do at home." "It depends how you take your diet seriously – whether you are confident that you can get back in shape after eating a lot or whether you do not want to reach a point where you suffer an injury before you get your act together."To keep tabs on the players, Panlilio asked them to take a photo of themselves and their weight at the start of the quarantine and to report to him every month.
