I am a guy who likes to do what I am doing with passion, whether it's a soccer match with friends or golf.

I was told to have an ice bath once, which I did once, and it was the most horrific experience. In my head it sounded like a great idea, so I filled my bath with ice and water, and it was absolutely horrendous.
