I guess it would depend on the group, their health (physical and mental) and their reaction to "extras" if it were put to them. It would be an interesting exercise nonetheless. As Cripps said in his HS interview, there are all types at the club, structured/unstructured, positive/negative, energy givers/energy drainers. Managing/Leading that is a hell of a task.
I actually think that's probably the key.
There is a diversity of players amongst the group.
There are probably players who given the opportunity to have a break would choose to do 'extras'.
Sometimes that's the difference between the champion, and one who never really get's the best out of themselves.
It's probably something you have to carefully manage because for everyone of those guys, there's probably someone else, who is feeling a bit broken because of some extra demands, and is 'crawling' towards a break.
