After lunch today, my assistant football coach gave me some advice. He saw me drinking soda, eating a candy bar, and smoking a cigarette. He said that if I wanted to maximize my potential as an athlete, I need to give up stuff that is bad for my health. Have you ever seen that guy? He is really overweight and smokes cigars.
