Kirk Cousins does everything possible to put himself in position to succeed at football, and his wife Julie knows all about it.
Earlier this season, Julie Cousins tweeted a photo of their bedroom, which shows the hyperbaric chamber Kirk keeps in there to help him heal:

Julie also noted that Kirk keeps a stretching cage in the family’s den. Is there any doubt about how committed Kirk is to football?
This also speaks to Julie’s dedication that she puts up with all of this. It’s paid off this season though as Kirk has taken control of the Washington Redskins’ starting quarterback job and enjoyed success.
The turning point for Cousins came during a comeback win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7. Cousins threw for 317 yards and three touchdowns in the game, and he also added one awesome catchphrase. The Redskins have gone 3-2 in their last five games, with Cousins throwing for over 300 yards in three of the games and posting 10 touchdowns against just two interceptions (that period includes the Bucs win). Kirk Cousins is starting to play like the quarterback Mike Shanahan predicted he would be. When you’re serious enough about football to have a hyperbaric chamber in your bedroom, you’re probably going to have good results.
