The Los Angeles Rams travel to Australia for a game and adopt an approach aimed at minimizing the effects of jet lag, according to reports. Coaches and team staff are treating the trip as part of a performance plan, with the outcome expected to be apparent by later in the week when the team’s results can be assessed.
Outlets describe the decision as unusual and focused on whether it helps players perform across time-zone changes. The trip is characterized as lengthy, described as roughly 16 hours, and is followed by a journey back across the Pacific. Reporting notes that the team’s method could be viewed either as sports-science innovation or as something that invites criticism if performance is affected.
Across the sources provided, the framing centers on uncertainty: whether ignoring or countering jet lag through their strategy works in practice, and how the team will look once the game and subsequent travel are completed. No additional details are included in these excerpts about specific steps the Rams take beyond the premise of “ignoring” jet lag.
