Physical aptitude is one of the lowest requirements to being 'good' at a sport. It helps, but most sports are considerably more technique than they are pure physical ability. Ye, okay. That's why there are so many fat pro players? Yes because that is exactly what I said. 10/10 reading comprehension again cynic. Physical aptitude is one of the lowest requirements to being 'good' at a sport. It helps, but most sports are considerably more technique than they are pure physical ability If you don't know how to kick a ball it doesn't matter how strong you actually are? Have you ever played a sport? How is this difficult? I'm legitimately curious. Someone who doens't know how to kick a ball while still manage to propel it further than someone whose muscles have atrophied completely. Once again you fail at basic logical reasoning. The vast majority of people have at least a basic concept of how to play a sport, where as very few are at the pinacle of human physical condition. I can assure you that very few people actually know how to kick a ball. Believe me I've seen enough of the average player to understand that. Again, have you ever even played a sport? Because I'd love to know where your "knowledge" is coming from. Also the extremes in your example are hilarious btw. While managing to be completely irrelevant to this conversation. You were the one who started with the extremes, I'm not sure why were even having this discussion when you claim thing slike "most people dont know how to kick a ball". I've played sports pleny of times before and I can confirm, people are indeed capable of performing the basic game actions.
I suppose since we're still here "Physical Ability" in the way I am using it means the raw power of the person in question. I am using it just as their basic physical stats (speed, strength, stamina, etc.) "Technique" on the other hand for me is the ability to actually do the thing you're set on doing. Obviously the first is important, but saying that it is more important than the miniscule differences in the second is absolutely ridiculous. In fact I'd say that mental ability (knowing what you're supposed to do, and where you're supposed to be) is also more important than physical ability in sports. You can see this simply by the amount of time that any pro spends on each of the things. Technique is far and away the most worked on thing for all athletes. There is a reason that sports have all of those stupid little drills for players. Because those teach you how to do the basics of the sport that you simply can not make up for with raw power. You absolutely have to have the technique down or else you're not worth anything.
Please see Chad Johnson playing in MLS as an example. Peak physical condition (at the time he was probably the most physically gifted receiver in the NFL), basic knowledge of the game (played in high school, and maybe college), 0 chance of ever playing above the training team.
Now then, if you're seriously going to continue to argue that physical ability trumps technique then I guess we can continue, but I'd really rather not.

So 99% of athletes quit by the time they're 35 because their obtained finesse and skill have magically gone away when you pass that age threshhold?
We can continue to do this, but you're only making a fool out of yourself if you keep repeating that professional athletes are not so far removed from the physical condition of a normal person that it's not even funny anymore.

Holy fucking shit are you incompetent?
Like seriously did you not read a word of what was said? Honestly please, please for the love of god, please fucking try to rub the brain cells in your head together long enough to understand this.
THEY CAN PLAY TILL THEY ARE 35 BECAUSE TECHNIQUE IS WHAT MATTERS. 35 IS NOT PEAK PHYSICAL CONDITION. NOT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM.

I don't even know what is going on this thread we moved on from breakfast to some debate P6 and some other guy was having then something about athletes and their technique.

while were at it, does anyone here want to pay me for a new pc so i can stream id even mod u on my stream as trial

typical socialist eurotrash

They wont let me view my grades asddgfdaasdafwdwdwsq
I am at extremes with my skills
On one end:
Teacher in math treks me that I'm college math levels and that I should take AP, low 90s in class
On the other end:
My French teacher has stopped asking me to answer questions because she wants kids to get the questions right, high 70s in class
Then there's English
Teacher routinely puts up essays at 10:00 pm the night before they are due, when his class is every other day
Is it so hard for him to tell us in class?

So we're back to the point where physical condition matters so much that people who are at ~80% are incapable of competing?

Yeah, thanks. Not that it isn't important, but between certain points you're all the same anyways.

Yes because that is exactly what I said. 10/10 reading comprehension again cynic. Physical aptitude is one of the lowest requirements to being 'good' at a sport. It helps, but most sports are considerably more technique than they are pure physical ability If you don't know how to kick a ball it doesn't matter how strong you actually are? Have you ever played a sport? How is this difficult? I'm legitimately curious. Someone who doens't know how to kick a ball while still manage to propel it further than someone whose muscles have atrophied completely. Once again you fail at basic logical reasoning. The vast majority of people have at least a basic concept of how to play a sport, where as very few are at the pinacle of human physical condition. I can assure you that very few people actually know how to kick a ball. Believe me I've seen enough of the average player to understand that. Again, have you ever even played a sport? Because I'd love to know where your "knowledge" is coming from. Also the extremes in your example are hilarious btw. While managing to be completely irrelevant to this conversation. You were the one who started with the extremes, I'm not sure why were even having this discussion when you claim thing slike "most people dont know how to kick a ball". I've played sports pleny of times before and I can confirm, people are indeed capable of performing the basic game actions. I suppose since we're still here "Physical Ability" in the way I am using it means the raw power of the person in question. I am using it just as their basic physical stats (speed, strength, stamina, etc.) "Technique" on the other hand for me is the ability to actually do the thing you're set on doing. Obviously the first is important, but saying that it is more important than the miniscule differences in the second is absolutely ridiculous. In fact I'd say that mental ability (knowing what you're supposed to do, and where you're supposed to be) is also more important than physical ability in sports. You can see this simply by the amount of time that any pro spends on each of the things. Technique is far and away the most worked on thing for all athletes. There is a reason that sports have all of those stupid little drills for players. Because those teach you how to do the basics of the sport that you simply can not make up for with raw power. You absolutely have to have the technique down or else you're not worth anything. Please see Chad Johnson playing in MLS as an example. Peak physical condition (at the time he was probably the most physically gifted receiver in the NFL), basic knowledge of the game (played in high school, and maybe college), 0 chance of ever playing above the training team. Now then, if you're seriously going to continue to argue that physical ability trumps technique then I guess we can continue, but I'd really rather not. So 99% of athletes quit by the time they're 35 because their obtained finesse and skill have magically gone away when you pass that age threshhold? We can continue to do this, but you're only making a fool out of yourself if you keep repeating that professional athletes are not so far removed from the physical condition of a normal person that it's not even funny anymore. Holy fucking shit are you incompetent? Like seriously did you not read a word of what was said? Honestly please, please for the love of god, please fucking try to rub the brain cells in your head together long enough to understand this. THEY CAN PLAY TILL THEY ARE 35 BECAUSE TECHNIQUE IS WHAT MATTERS. 35 IS NOT PEAK PHYSICAL CONDITION. NOT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM. Please read through your post again and think what you would have done if someone else had written that post and you had stepped in as a moderator.
If another mod wants to action the post, they can feel free to. I'm not going to be continuing the discussion regardless after that so it's all moot at this point.
