[@TJAvant95]

This is what is needed in the sports world. Actually, not just the sports world, for humans all around. We never get to truly have people we look at, that speak honest truth. Is it "fun" to talk about, no. Is it very important, YES. Longevity , education, and hearing from others who went through it. Thank you I AM ATHLETE for giving us gems and real talk. This is stuff the media really does not want us to listen.

Some ppl have more physical abilities than others so they can get by. But if you talking about maximizing your full potential as an athlete I got to agree with Marsh. It’s a different switch when it comes to the elite of the elite. I never cared much about it growing up but seeing my 14 yo nephew be a strict vegetarian for 2 yrs cause his dream is to play for Nick Saban, you see the levels to dedication.

[@musafawundu6718]

I agree with Brandon in that the more focused and better prepared one is in a comprehensive manner, the likely better one will be, even when one is already very good. If Shady McCoy had been better conditioned, he'd have been a better player yet, as good as he indeed was. He was certainly a good player, but he in retrospect, he could have been a Hall of Famer...

[@chrisjohnson4039]

When I look at what Shannon Sharpe did, coming from Glenville, GA, I can imagine what he had to eat to survive. As he grew to college and the NFL, his nutrition and training habits improved tremendously. He passed them to Ray Lewis. They're in the Hall of Fame. Tom Brady created TB12. There's something to be said for the correlation between how an athlete treats his body and his performance (or lack thereof) on game day. Even Bruce Smith had to change the way he ate and trained. He ballooned to 315 before trimming himself to a playing weight of 270 @ 6% bodyfat. He knew buffalo wings and pizza weren't gonna get him to Canton. He was probably the best conditioned athlete to play the DE position. This really boils down to an athlete's driving force and habits. It's your habits that will serve you or become your master. Driving Force and habits are the critical component's in determining the success or failure of an athlete at any level.

Y’all fumbled this discussion for the viewers a bit and the health topic needs to be unpacked more. But put simply, diets/lifestyles/community don’t make you a better or worse “elite” athlete when your young and fresh. But as you age, with wear and tear, your body needs that help for recovery and longevity.. and that’s where the gains/losses happen between “elite” athletes who have good and bad diets/lifestyles/community.
