Train hard, train smart: KHL player smashes wall during practice drill (VIDEO)
Mathew Maione, a Canadian defenseman for China-based KHL team Kunlun Red Star has proved that training hard might have serious consequences, as he accidentally gouged a hole in a wall during a training session.
Maione was doing intensive workouts including a cross-fit ball which he was hitting against the wall before catching the rebound.

The tough exercise went well, before the 28-year-old Canadian miscalculated the power of his hit poking a hole in the wall of the training center.
“If you work hard enough, you can achieve anything including...” Kunlun Red Star wrote while sharing a video of the bizarre training incident on Twitter.
