I remember when I first started out in cricket there was a lot of talk about some players being too fit and that made them injured
It never really made sense to me that
How can you be too fit
What they should have been talking about is that they aren’t fit for purpose
The purpose of course big fella is to do their job
Whether it be bat, bowl or keeping, you need to be in the condition to get it done
What you did see was a lot of lads doing fitness during the off season (as well as doing other jobs which feels crazy now) and then struggling when the season got here
Which compared to the previous era where the bowlers especially would just run and bowl
And probably not until April!
So there have been arguments about what is best
I saw something from the NFL the other day about a Running Back called Earl Campbell
He turned up for pre season and struggled to run a mile
Big Earl was a complete power athlete
One of the press asked his coach about the fact that he couldn’t complete the mile run in time
His response
“If we get a 3rd and mile then we wont run him”
Brilliant
He knew that Campbell was fit for purpose, and one of the most effective players in his position in the league
So he didn’t bother himself with things that didn’t matter
And that’s what is great for you to do
Be laser focused as to what you want
Don’t waste your time and energy on this that wont be helping the end product
