Hockey makes me laugh though.
These old hockey people would let players drink, and smoke like crazy, they would show up to camp out of shape, and had very little in the way of an off ice regime.
The current generation of NHLers have their own chefs, meal plans, nutritionists, skating coaches, take a combined total of 2 weeks off from skating in the summer...etc
And then you wonder why a younger player maybe doesn't relate to a coach just yelling "work harder". These guys dedicate their life to the game, you can't really question commitment for any NHLer nowadays.
