But you guys are speaking to the toughness. If you have those guys enough time I’m sure their mentality would adapt to being tough. They are in a none contact sport so ofcourse they won’t seem tough. If being a football player is just about being tough then he’s right. Because most sport is about skill which is harder to teach than being tough

@Mgranadosv 3 ай бұрын

@@tomstorm7926 It's not about the toughness. It's about having the skill to be hit and not fold, part of the skill is being able to take violent hits or deliver them. Boxing is not just about punching, it's knowing how, when to punch and how to dodge and take punches. What you call just toughness it an actual skill in contact sports.

I'm suddenly reminded of the basketball players that would occasionally pop off at us wrestlers who had to cross their court to get to our wrestling room. Only once did one of those dudes come up to show us "pussies" what "real practice" looked like. I'll give him credit, he only puked once, and got all the way through single-leg takedown drills before he said fuck it.
