    Nowhere close. Which goes back to the whole endurance thing. Each sport has their strengths in the endurance game. Football has more explosive conditioning. They can go all out, recover, and go all out again closer to their 100% than others.

    Not to mention they're doing this in pads, while performing football related movements, taking hits, etc.

    Bradley makes quite a few sprints a game, though. He was notable for one he didn't make against Portugal in the World Cup that allowed them to tie the match.

    I am so glad that generation is being phased out.

    fullbacks and wide midfielders do a lot of sprinting. A lot.

    Every sport has its own unique conditioning requirements that would be an adjustment for another athlete. However, I will say soccer players are probably the most well rounded.

    High level soccer is a series of triangles and sqaures moving the ball down the field, which is why the US is changing their system for kids to small sided games based off the barca method, which is why they werr in town and doing clinics.
    High level soccer is not launching the ball to your fastest player or sprinting down the wing with the ball.

    LeBron is the best athlete I have ever seen. Haven't seen anyone mention Barry Sanders, that guy made world class athletes look like silly.

    I was actually about to mention him as my football player example with the Cleveland Browns, but I typed "LeBron level player" instead.
