Fitness Fact

Thinking that bigger is better? Think again. Many recruiters and coaches are not necessarily looking for large, overweight football players. Players who are overweight but have trouble running or developing skills are not helpful to the team. Moreover, overweight players are prone to health problems as they get older, especially if their activity levels decline over time. (ACSM)
