Burning your squad's ping pong table probably isn't on page one of the 'How To Win Promotion To The Premier League' handbook.
But, after the success it has given Luton Town and their boss Nathan Jones this season, perhaps it should be.
Jones had to take extreme measures to ensure his side had a good season
And it's clearly worked, with his Luton team on their way to the Championship play-offs
The Welshman, who this week won the division's Manager of the Season award, has taken the Hatters from a bottom-half Championship side to one that is on the verge of a play-off spot.
They currently sit fifth and need just one point from their last two games to secure their place in the top six - which would see them potentially three games away from the Premier League.
And Jones says the secret to their success is hard work, good recruitment - and setting fire to the club's table tennis table...
"We had to smash it up first to get it flammable," Jones told talkSPORT. "And then, once it was flammable, we put it to good use!"
But why?
He explained: "We did it at the end of the season. We said, 'Look, how do we change the culture and the environment?'
Kenilworth Road could be a Premier League stadium next season
"We changed one or two personnel, we recruited different individuals, and we turned the table tennis room into a sort of prehab studio.
"We started to get a different type of player in then, a different type of character, an athlete, because the prehab studio is more conducive than the table tennis.
"I'm all for recreation, we've now got a pool room and a games room and everything at our training ground.
"But, at the time, that was taking precedent over the over the real stuff."
Now their focus is on the football - and it seems to be working.
Jones beat the likes of Nottingham Forest boss Cooper to the annual award
Jones' Manager of the Season award sees him follow in the footsteps of the likes of Chris Wilder and Eddie Howe, who have both won the same accolade in previous years.
But he admits that it came as a surprise due to the competition he was up against.
"I'm very proud and it came as a shock," Jones said.
"There's some illustrious company in the Championship, with Mark (Marco Silva) already been being promoted, Carlos [Corberan] doing great work with Huddersfield, with Steve Cooper going like a juggernaut as well.
"I understand why I've received the award and I'm very proud and accept it with real gratitude.
"In terms of us going for the top six, we have processes here, we have a journey, a four-year plan.
"We're on our third year but that doesn't mean we've now got an extra year.
"We set ourselves four years, realistically, to do that, to consolidate, to establish, to evolve, and now to be a real side that can challenge.
"We've recruited that way, we've got certain processes, we don't rely on budget, we rely on work and that's where we are."
