Longevity

The average professional sports career ends between the ages of 35 - 40. When you think about it, that's pretty old for a professional athlete. Consider the average football players career: they've worked out 6 days a week for 6 months of the year since they were 18 years old. During the other 6 months of the year, they work out 4 days out of the week. That's a lot of sweat.

All this time spent staying in shape can really take its toll on a persons body and that's why most athletes can't do it for very long.

So how exactly does Herschel Walker do it?


He certainly didn't do it by eating his own brand of chicken wings...

Herschel Walker won the Heisman Trophy in 1982 as the top college football player in the world and then continued on the play 15 seasons of professional football. At the end of his career he pursued another challenge; becoming an Olympic champion. In 1992 he finished seventh overall at the Olympic Games competing for the U.S. bobsled team.

His latest endeavor? MMA Fighting. Let this article tell you the rest.
