I’m not saying he needs ripped abs. But he clearly has a poor diet. And that effects sleep, mood, and with the amount of fat he is carrying it also will hamper speed and other things

But honestly I don’t think any athlete ever truly gets to their absolute peak. Being human makes it almost impossible. Maybe someone like lance Armstrong did.

Maybe having a beer or two or three or however many is a necessary part of his process. Maybe he's created an internal reward system that links Lil Debbies to his study of game film? Maybe if he were obsessing about the marginal gains associated with body type, he would miss out on more maximal gains he's making elsewhere.

In all seriousness, I agree with you for the most part, but I also do think that it's oversimplified to say, "If he were doing X, he would be a better player." Because accomplishing X might take away from. Y, which might then have a negative performance effect.
