For most of us, which is us would greatly benefit not living the like an insect.
which is what most professional athlete are required to do.
Many AFL clubs ban their players from drinking and partying during season.
Sorry goosey but I didn't get any of that !!
Insects just specialize in one or two things whereas we don't or shouldn't
you get me now?
It's about what happens off season.
Just food for thought on this topic

"99% is a bitch, 100% is a breeze"
For some this is true for some it isn't, at the end of the day whatever lifestyle and diet that is compatible with long term adherence and helps you best achieve your goals is the best option for you.
For some this means being 100% dedicated as above because "everything in moderation" simply doesn't work for them and results in relapses to unhealthy habits.
For others they need the variety and flexibility of "cheat meals" and alcohol as they can't adhere to something 100% without burning out.
Horses for courses in my opinion as both philosophies have merit.
So basically you're made for the sport you've chosen, or the sport that was chosen for you by the state, as is the case in some countries. More nature than nurture so to speak.Touching on a good topic, a skilled athlete will never need to work as hard as a someone with less.
and a lot of skill has to do with body mechanics, % of slow and fast twitch fibers and intelligence
I think to truly be an elite athlete, they need to avoid bad habits. However it's possible for second tier athletes to perform at a high level (not elite) whilst doing whatever they like.
Bazza mentioned footy. There are very few elite athletes playing any kind of footy. Footy is a combination of GOOD athleticism, positional skills and heart. You don't need elite athleticism to be an elite footballer. Hence most can party and perform at the same time.
It comes down to what you call elite.

For us average joes a few drinks on the weekend aren't going to make a difference worth worrying about but hey if people want to live like a nun. Go for it.
Was Shane Warne elite or second tier?
