Elite athletes in athletics compete half a dozen times a year. Maybe a dozen times. Boxers? 2 or 3 fights max.

They train, starting at a low intensity (by their standards) and build intensity towards peak fitness at one meet/fight, then rest.

How many proper compettitive games do top.footballers have to hit peak for? 45, 50, 60?

Elite footballers that went some distance at the World Cup will break if they dont get a proper break. They finished in the USA had a week or 2 off then straight into pre-preseason and proper preseason.

I'd pull out too if I was Declan Rice if meant a lighter load for 3 weeks, focus on my club and 'proper' internationals. They play way too many matches, club and country.

We can't expect elite athletes even at our level to perform consistently without proper breaks in the cycle.

No matter how well they are paid and how hard they work compared to us (well, you, not me, I do fuck all).
