Fat receiver struggling at Fitz Camp

Here's a shocker!

Chiefs | Bowe struggles with conditioning on first day of Fitzgerald camp Thu Jul 8, 08:12 PM
Chip Scoggins, of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, reports that "struggled with his conditioning" as the players ran fourteen 100-yard sprints and then four 50-yard runs. "Can you imagine your first day coming back to 14 100s?" Bowe said. "Man, it was like college again. I've never done this intensive competing, conditioning and technique in one day."
Our view: Hmmm, Bowe has never done this intensive of a workout in one day before? That quote is very revealing about the level of dedication Bowe has had up to this point in his career. The Fitzgerald camp could light a fire under him, just like it did for Sidney Rice, but this story just confirms some of the beliefs about what has been holding Bowe back.

If Bowe isn't extremely careful he's going to waste his God given talent. It's a crying shame that the young man won't get serious. He'd better toughen up because there's some players coming his way this year looking to take his head slam off of his shoulders.

I think it's tougher for those most athletically gifted in some ways. They are so accustomed to simply dominating others due to their physical gifts that they fail to appreciate the change moving into the professional arena.

Interesting story, back in the 90's I was at spring training in Florida, watching the Orioles and Wayne Gretzky was there. I approached for the obligatory autograph and asked him why he was at baseball spring training camp. He told me that he tries to visit other professional athletes where ever he can, watch them train and prepare. That day he was most eager to watch, and speak to, Cal Ripken to understand how he stayed so healthy and achieved his longevity....

Training and hard work is not simply about week to week performance, its also about career longevity, and young kids fed millions, fail to see that....
