The American Football Association players explain the experiences of longevity

Harrison Smith, just like anyone approaching middle -aged, has learned to accept the facts of the elderly. The joints do not move, for one of them, effortlessly as they did before.

This is the place where the free year in the fourteenth year of Minnesota Vikings It targeted recent training systems, and allocate resistance exercises to simulate pressure American Football Association Games can be placed in critical areas of the body.

Access to the full extension of making treatment at the maximum speed of the arm muscles and tendons in a weak position. The worse the elbow can bend, the better.

Smith said: “All work in the world will not really translate into a real power in this field if your joints did not have the scope they had before, especially the range under pregnancy.” “I have reached different ways of work that are not necessarily just a traditional noise weights.

In a sport with reputable short professions, where the restrictions of the maximum salary are permanently conspiring with the risk of continuous injury and general physical decline, the youth fountain can look like a rhinoceros. Smith’s approach provides some valuable evidence to find the most vibrant source: wisdom.

“When you meet Harrison Smith, you immediately understand why the type of the person who defies the possibilities may be, and he did nothing less than to persuade us over the past few years,” said General Manager Vikings Kwissi Adofo Minsah.

Strong 30

From the famous Qurtubbeck like Aaron Rodgers When retracting in the pocket to a six -time choice like Smith, who performs high school, the young league still has some space for gray hair. But sticking to wandering takes more than just design and talent.

Trint Williams in San Francisco 49, 37 years old, said. I am not sure of what they are supposed to feel, but I feel you are younger. ”As we get old, things begin to change. I think you should pay a little more attention to what you put in your body, and how you treat your body. Mreato from just a football player, it is just a natural maturity for a person. When you grow up, you cannot do the same things you did when you are 22 years old. “

According to the Associated Press’s review of the 90 men’s menus around the league last week, there are 30 players with the American Football Association, which was born in the eighties. This barely 1 percent. It was not limited to the generation X long ago from the game, as soon as Tom Brady retired in 2023, but the millennial generation is already in the minority.

Rodgers, of course, is the oldest active player in 41, followed by New York Jets Kicker Nick Folk (40) and Cleveland Browns Joe Flacco (40). The Study 30 includes six long contestants, two rapists and two rubble, as well as nine cortressing-situations that usually produce the longest players.

“You have to develop every year,” said Travis Kelce said a tightness in Kansas City.

Smith is the only defensive back. Kelos is the only player for the skill of the attack that is not the midfielder. Williams and Arizona Caraladir left handle, Kelvin Bachum, and now a backup, are the men of the attack. Demario Davis of New ORLEANS SAINTS and Nick Belore are Washington’s leaders, who play almost exclusively in special teams, of players. Then there is a well -filled group of five defensive men: Calis Campbell (Arizona Cardinals), Cameron Hyuard (Pittsburg Stelors), John Jenkins (Baltimore Ravenes), Cameron Jordan (New Orleans Science) and Phone Miller (Washington leaders).

“I still feel comfortable. I feel I can go out there and control,” said Campbell, who returned this year to his original team. “I wish I had a magic formula. I think I have just been blessed. God has given me a lot of blessings to play this game I love.”

Grind

The list was cut naturally, from last season. Nine players – the end of the Marids Lewis tight end, the Kricars Matt Barater, Justin Taker, Greg Zorlin, the long “Centrans” Jake McCoyayed and Matt Opton, Safety Karim Jackson, defending Jerry Hughes, and defending Linfal Joseph – who recorded time in the field in 2024, did not register with this year’s team.

Their peers still realize the summer practices completely they will permanently be on the margin sooner, not later.

“I start early on a training procedure. Just listen to my body when I need to take a break,” Hyard said. “But it is more trying to become stronger as soon as possible after the season. Less time to recover, but recover during the operation.”

Mastering the art of recovery, forever a moving goal, is a basic axis. On Monday after games, mobility can be important, but discovering how to maximize the strength and air conditioning sessions in the summer, the mid -thirties player also represents a challenge.

Smith, a soft leader, prefers to have a conversation in a deep -dressing room on professional football instead of giving defense a speech before mercy, and makes more questions than young players about recovery more than any other topic.

“Sometimes, you can just grind it and don’t feel satisfied, and this is what it is," Smith, who is also mixed with small basketball with his work outside the season in his hometown in Noxfel, Tennessee.

Pride and perspective is part of the American Football Association’s road map as well. The elder, 9 -year -old Calin, spent a few nights with him in the bedroom.

“There is hunger I know that I am in a rare group that can see the 15th year, but this is something that I am constantly thinking about,” she said. “There are things I want to check before I get stuck with them, and I haven’t got these goals yet.”
