Professioneel athletes typically require insane things from their body. You shouldn’t underestimate how much these guys do in terms of exercise. At the same time, they should realise that their nutrition regime (incl. hydration ) is wrong for everyone who is not a professional athlete.
Not all athletes have the same needs though. I don’t doubt a marathon runner would need to drink a lot of water , though I doubt even they’d need 2.5 gallons, but does a professional golfer?
I’d argue a quarter back is more similar to the golfer. They aren’t training for speed or stamina, they’re training their fine motor skills and some strength to be able to throw far and throw accurately. If you look at the quarter back on the side line they usually aren’t dripping with sweat like a lot of the other positions are.
