When you watch LeBron from afar, what jumps out to you that explains his ability to play at a high level in his 23 season? Robert Parish: “He is committed. Look at how much focus, energy and money he puts into taking care of himself.
He’s eating right. He’s working out. He’s getting in gym time.
Plus, he has not gotten tired of the process yet. He’s still going at it in the offseason. In order to play at the level that he’s playing on, it takes a serious commitment with this fitness and his diet.
You have to focus on that first. The better your fitness, the less likely that you’ll sustain a major injury. For the players that played 18, 19 or 20 years beyond, almost all of them never had a significant injury.
That’s reflective of taking care of yourself. You’re still going to get banged up, beat up and bruised up from playing. But you rarely sustain anything significant with having a catastrophic, career-ending injury.
