Coby White reveals unusual conditioning tactic before Bulls 2024-25 NBA season

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White recently shared the unusual conditioning methods he used to prepare for the 2024-25 NBA season, describing a series of off-court exercises that pushed him to new physical limits. According to K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Sports Network, White’s approach to offseason training included activities such as running on sand dunes, mountain biking, and paddleboarding. These non-traditional methods were designed to build stamina, agility, and endurance ahead of his sixth NBA season.

White, known for his athleticism and speed on the court, admitted that paddleboarding turned out to be one of the toughest workouts he’d ever attempted.

“That was probably the hardest conditioning thing I’ve done in my life,” White said on the broadcast. “I didn’t know how hard it was until I got out on the water. Especially on the way back. The current was going towards us so I was tired as hell.”
