Should Eli Manning Lose Weight To Be A Better Player?

Numerous sport coaches push players to diet for the idea they will play better and run faster. This is promoting an ideology idea the thinner is better performance. Pushing this mindset in sports can lead to everyday males, such as my boyfriend, to lose weight so he can have better performance. By this argument that thinner equals a better player, how thin is enough? Should Eli Manning lose weight to be a better player? Should we keep pushing male athletes to be as thin as they can be to gain better speed, or should coaches push them to train harder as they do heavier player’s thin counterparts. If a player is thin and they do not perform well, they are told to train more; however, if a bigger player does not do well they are told it is because
of their weight not that they did not train as hard as they could. This is parallel to the treatment models receive in the fashion industry, the false idea that thinner is as better and thinner is powerful. It is a misconception that bigger people can train better if they achieve weight loss simply due to bigotry and looking past the numerous plus-size athletes who are just as great as their thinner teammates. I want my future son to see that is is not his size but how hard he trains; he needs to grow up with the acknowledgement he can be as great a player as Eli Manning whatever his size.
