Ah, team bonding. An opportunity to knit a diverse squad of footballers closer together and strengthen relationships, a strategy often used in periods of adversity.
"I ended up fighting with Craig Gordon at go-karting!" former Heart of Midlothian player and manager Robbie Neilson recalls on the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast.
"He threw his helmet at me, I threw a punch, he threw a punch and then we all started fighting."
For under-pressure Russell Martin's sake, let us hope he had a better experience when he took his Rangers team for a dip in Loch Lomond this week.
"It seems to get publicised more when you are going through a difficult period," Neilson adds.
"Doing it is something to be commended. Sometimes you just need to try something a little bit different."
