now obviously I’m not going to argue that fitter is better. But I also think that a guy who has a change of heart and decides to train hard and get shredded is probably also taking all aspects of his career far more seriously. So it may be hard to say how much of his improvement is actually a result of his new body and not a result of his new found dedication.
Bird definitely could lose a bit of flab but if he is training his ass off and taking his job seriously, I don’t think it’s as big of a deal as some may think.
See where you are going but it’s all linked. Hard to be 100% committed despite being badly out of shape when your occupation is athletic. The confidence, the mindset and body are hard to separate. Besides being even 5% faster, fitter and stronger might be difference between busting a tackle and being smashed every time, especially if don’t have smarts and experience to compensate for lower physical abilities like a lot of the greats do later in their careers.
