Expected by Vincent Collet for the 2023 World Cup, Rudy Gobert has already started his work to bounce back after his first year in Minnesota. An average and frustrating season, both individually and collectively, ended in the first round of the playoffs against the Nuggets.
The three-time defenseman of the year knows he owes Minnesota fans and himself a rematch.
“I really plan to have the best summer I’ve ever had and truly come back the way I want to have the best year of my career next season,” announces the pivot at the Star Tribune. “I know that this summer I’m going to put myself in situations that I’ve never been in before. »
To begin, Rudy Gobert thus imitated Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback of the Jets, in a retirement in the south of Oregon. The Frenchman recently posted a photo on his Instagram account of a small hut where he spent “64 hours in total darkness”In “one of the most powerful experiences of my life”he wrote.
In concrete terms, the Wolves player therefore found himself in a cabin deprived of a telephone network and light, with two meals a day and a bathroom with (hot) spring water, in order to recharge his batteries. And perhaps to take stock of the 2022/23 financial year.
“The biggest challenge for me was, at the beginning, not having the impact that I was supposed to have. For several reasons “, he acknowledges echoing the words of Karl-Anthony Towns, also destabilized by the arrival of the Frenchman. This was the hardest part for me. But I can’t wait to see what we can do together. We had some glimpses of what we are capable of this season, we saw that we could cause problems for a lot of teams. »
Do these dark therapies work? The debate in the scientific community is open, with researchers warning against this “fad” and the miraculous sides put forward by those who propose it. others, like Dr. Marek Malusa Czech psychologist who has been studying the subject since 2010, however, assures that four days in the dark allow “to increase mindfulness and self-esteem, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, while improving the functions of the system parasympathetic nervous system, which helps manage stress and reduce symptoms of burnout”.
