Pre-season sports training camps in professional athletes go through to get in shape and get ready for the season.

The Workout 5e2jd

Most professional athletes train year round but many of them are still a little out of shape, especially if they've been spending the off-season sitting on the couch eating Doritos all day. On the first day of training camp, athletes go through the NHL will usually also have a scrimmage later on in the evening between teams made up of rookies and veterans.

The Fuel at Pro Training Camps 656u6t

All those intense workouts and training sessions mean athletes at camp go through NFL players are even given a late night buffet which includes pizza, burgers, burritos and dessert. Players at the Carolina Panthers' 2004 training camp went through nearly 2,000 pounds of chicken, 300 pounds of steak and over 400 pounds of potatoes in just the first week of camp!

The Pro Training Camp Rules 444c5q

Professional sports teams often hold their training camps in cities outside of where the team lives so players can stay focused on the game and bond with their teammates. The players stay in dorms or hotels, and sometimes live under rules that even the strictest parent wouldn't come up with. In 2001, the coaching staff of the Washington Redskins put alarms on the doors of the dorms where the team was staying that would go off if any players tried to sneak in past their curfew. If players were late for the start of breakfast - even by 30 seconds - they would have to miss the meal and wait for lunch. Other bizarre rules? Tom Coughlin, the coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars banned his players from wearing running shoes in the lobby of the hotel. Coaches say rules teach their players to be disciplined but some of those rules are way too out there.

Do your parents have stupid rules you're supposed to follow? about your parents' dumbest rules.
