      In regards to physiology, you think of the machinery and/or the neurological moderation of motor output. There are a few who come to mind in the modern era (in the sports where there exists some 'evolutionary meritocracy'), including Lebron, Messi, Ronaldo, Phelps, Indurain, Bo, Bolt.

    After having an ACL and lateral meniscus tears and surgery and rehab and seeing others in rehab, I came to realize that injury is almost impossible to avoid for people pushing athletic limits. I had always wondered how MJ avoided serious injury since his early foot injury and his knee injury as a Wizard. With as hard as he worked, I wondered how he wasn't getting injured. He isn't superman as evidenced by his foot fracture in his 2nd year. In Last Dance, it was said how his trainer watched his movement during a game, then tailored a treatment afterward to keep him healthy. I don't have definitive evidence, but I suspect it is his trainer that made the difference.

    This video is great! Really insightful and makes it clear how Jordan physically got so superb with his trainer paying such attention to detail along his career and making adjustments when needed. Also, knowing exactly how to train mentally and apply experience, wisdom, and Jordan's competitive nature with the over achieved detail physical training, is how and why his game dominated so greatly. I didn't know until watching this that he had a trainer that contributed as much as was explained here. I just thought Michael did everything on his own basically and just pushed himself a little harder than others. Which is true, but this guy deserves much credit for his contribution to conditioning and micromanaging Jordan's overall training and treatment during his career. Good job.
