As I sit and watch the FIFA World Cup, I marvel at the conditioning of the players. They are all lean, athletic, and prepared to play at the élite level. Additionally, I cannot believe how tough they are! I mean, every time there is contact it is like these guys were hit with a baseball bat. After a suitable time of rolling on the ground, they shake off the injury and jump back into the frey. It truly is amazing. Continue reading
