Connection to the 49ers

Watching ¨The Weight of the Nation¨ and ¨Bigger, Faster, Stronger¨ reminded me of a conversation my uncle told us. He works for the 49ers and he sees the players while working there. He told us about the food they consume and the purpose behind it. He said that there are some players who aren't as big as they are suppose to be, depending the position they play, so they have to eat a lot of junk food in order to gain weight. This is the opposite of what the people had too do in the film ¨The Weight of the Nation¨ where they had to lose all the weight and eat healthier. Once the players have consumed all the food, they have to drink protein shakes before and after they exercise so they can get muscle and get bigger. This relates to ¨Bigger, Faster, Stronger¨ because Chris Bell would drink protein pills so he could get big like his inspirations. This was a connection I had while watching these films during class.
