I can't think of a better way to mentally toughen up a group of lads short of confidence and self belief when the chips are down in games.
It'll do us the world of good for that fact and the way a group of people bond through those sorts of experiences. So I'd say yes, it's the perfect way to prepare an elite sporting team.
