I’m sure we can all relate to being told something is a sign of weakness, even though doing that thing is beneficial to us, either in the short-term or the long-term. Monte Morris touched on this subject this week when he retweeted a post highlighting a study that found that putting your hands on your knees in order to catch your breath is actually an effective technique that helps you, well, catch your breath.
However, in the professional sports world, this act is often seen as a sign of weakness, as many see it as a sign that you are either out of shape or just not tough enough to handle the physical exertion.
