A hot grounder can give an infielder a shiner. Pitchers can ding a player to send a message. In , pitcher Tom Glavine once cracked two ribs and was forced onto the disable list. The reason? He puked up his in-flight meal. There are countless examples of baseball players getting injured during what seems like routine, everyday, innocent plays. The training boxers undergo before a fight is intensive and demanding.
While boxing is much more demanding on a short period of time round fight , the hockey season is much more strenuous on a professional athlete because players typically log 20 minutes of ice time, game after game, during more than 80 games per year over to year careers. Oh, and hockey players fight on skates. Football can be a physically brutal sport. However, according to a Wall Street Journal study of four television broadcasts, and similar estimates by researchers, the average amount of time the ball is in play on the field during an NFL game is about 11 minutes of actual playing time over a minute game.
And the season includes only 16 games plus the playoffs, so football is more about brute force, speed and strength, not so much about durability and endurance. Heck, football players play only one game per week, while hockey players often have to play back-to-back games or three contests in four nights… in different cities!
Even former Pittsburgh Steeler player, Willie Colon believes hockey players are tougher than football players. Somehow, he never suffered a major injury in the process. I ask him what he was doing and he said he was protecting himself. Man up! A leg cramp was enough to have Lebron James carried off of the court by medical staff during a game. Man up. Soccer players play a rigorous minute game.
According to match reports from the World Cup, in the average minute match, the average actual playing time in a soccer game was about 68 minutes. With the large size of the playing field, most of the time soccer players are not directly involved in the game. That said, soccer requires speed. A combination of all-out sprinting often separates players from the ball to gain position on a field as large as 21, square feet.
Most contact is forbidden and often results in a yellow or red card. Physical contact usually ends up with one player trying to draw a free kick or a penalty by diving on the turf and writhing like stunned newborn llamas feigning severe injury. All too often players will twist a knee or an ankle and need to be carried off on a stretcher. I think hockey is the hardest sport because I can't skate to save my life.
Kittle's position requires a unique skill set in which he's forced to block like an offensive lineman but catch passes like a wide receiver. He was named an All-Pro after his second straight 1,yard season and helped the Niners reach the Super Bowl. Despite possessing rare athleticism of his own, Kittle is blown away by what Forsberg and other NHLers are able to do on the ice.
I don't know how they do that stuff while on skates. Everything that they do, they're playing at high speed at all times. It's physical. It's a grind. It's a ton of games. You're traveling everywhere. I just respect the grind. I think, honestly, it's just a beautiful masterpiece when it's played well. Skip to content. Thanks, friends, and family for sticking around.
