You have the wrong idea of what athleticism is.
An athlete or athleticism is defined by measureable statistics. An athlete isn't how good someone can be at a skill. The reason the decathlon is the epitomy of athleticism is that each even represents a corenerstone for athleticism in and of itself. It's pure sports science in action. There is a definative measureable statistic for every single sport. That test in the video above highlights all measureable statistics in regards to athleticms and the olympic gold medallist decathlete who participated in it, scored higher than virtually every pro athlete in their specific sports related drills. He did not train for this specifically. He scored higher because he is athletically superior.
This is the reason Pacquiao isn't a great athlete. He is a great sportsman a brilliant boxer and obviously has the required physical attributes to be competitive within a weight separated sport, but if he participated in a measureable test such as the video I highlighted; Pacquiao would do no better than the average non professional athletic male.
Please show me that definition of an athlete or athleticism.
Also, please show me where the guy in the video where the guy doesn't train for these drills, or ones similar. Oh, wait, the one he doesn't train for already, he "faltered". Which was the starting, stopping agility drill or whatever.
100 metres
Long jump
Shot put
High jump
400 metres
Day 2
110 metres hurdles
Discus throw
Pole vault
Javelin throw
1500 metres
Those are the events, every single thing in that video was similar. So this guy trains this shit all the time. WITHOUT doing bag work, mitt work, defense drills, shooting hoops, throwing footballs, practicing receiving, practicing/memorizing plays. Having to adapt to other players trying to tackle you, people punching your face.
If these guys are the greatest athletes, they would be in a sport where they can make decent money and get mad pussy.
And he was only at the level of SOME NBA players, SOME NFL runners, not the top ones in either sport.
I am pretty sure Pacman would do better than the "average non professional athletic male". LOL, wtf kind of statement is that. You mention Oscar and Floyd running, but people mention Pac is an incredible runner as well.
also, "the olympic gold medallist decathlete who participated in it, scored higher than virtually every pro athlete in their specific sports related drills" -- They NEVER mention that. They only say he is on the "upper end", which is expected of a SILVER (not gold) medalist, in peak shape, as he was currently training for the next olympics.
I don't think you know what an athlete is brah. Again, it is one thing to run a sprint, one thing to do a high jump, another to throw something. Do them all together, with a 300 pound guy trying to crush you, with the goal of moving a ball to the end zone. Or the goal of landing more punches, with another landing as well, and having to keep your mental toughness.
