Even the best athletes sometimes have weight issues while on vacation. A football coach doesn’t understand that.
Of course we all know how threatening the Christmas season and the public holidays for an optimal body mass index. Those who can’t resist vanilla crescents, cinnamon stars and gingerbread as much as mulled wine, bratwurst and spit roast or mother’s goose Christmas Evewho shouldn’t be surprised if the balance bottoms out before the end of the year.
To make matters worse, sports activities in winter are often not the best. What the hedonist should comfort: Even the best athletes sometimes have trouble with their ideal weight in these opulent days.
National handball coach Alfred Gislason swims one hundred lanes
One who has just admitted it is the national handball coach Alfred Gislason. To set a good example for his German players ahead of the upcoming World Cup, he has announced that he will swim to combat excess Christmas calories immediately after the holidays. “After the holidays you always find that you’ve eaten too much. That’s why after that I have to swim a hundred laps somewhere,” she said. Given the 63-year-old Icelander’s robustness, he can be trusted to seek out the perfect figure he would even fall into a fjord in his home country.
Coach Pep Guardiola axes national player Kalvin Philips because he is overweight
So Pep Guardiola would definitely like to send his England international Kalvin Philips after him.

An affront to the stern trainer, who didn’t even think Philips was capable of completing a training session. Let alone racing against Liverpool in the League Cup.
Images of the “overweight” Philips have not yet been passed down. The only question is what culinary temptations the 27-year-old has succumbed to in the desert state of Qatar. The England team, for which Philips played a total of 40 minutes as a substitute, eventually made it to the quarter-finals and only returned to England shortly before the holiday season. However, those bad calories had to be lurking somewhere.

At the World Cup of Darts in London, burgers and pizza are the staples
If in doubt, probably directly on the island, which can be clearly seen at the World Cup of Darts in London’s Alexandra Palace during the holidays. In the legendary Darts Dom, in addition to tons of beer, hot dogs, pizza, hamburgers and “German Bratwurst” are among the most popular staples. Luckily darts has a really huge advantage over football: no player has ever been eliminated because of being overweight.
