Bellingham has been urged to look at how basketball GOAT LeBron goes about his business, with the LA Lakers superstar having emulated five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo by competing at an elite level in his chosen sport at 40 years of age. ‘King James’ has made a point of looking after his body, with big money being spent on ensuring that he is ready for action as often as possible.
Scott, who is married to CBS Sports presenter Kate Scott and was the former trainer of boxing heavyweight world champion Deontay Wilder, has told CanadaCasino of what Bellingham needs to do in order to remain in peak condition: "Rest, to me, is just as important, if not more important, than working out, but it's very difficult to do. I'm explaining this from a fighting background, but it applies to all athletes across different sports. It's hard to rest because we're competitive; we got to where we are by working hard, and that's true. But when you're competing at your highest level, you're loading your body, which leads to quicker wear and tear. If you're dealing with wear and tear and not resting, and you're still working on top of an injury, it compounds the problem.
"LeBron James spends $3 million per year on his recovery alone. That's the most impressive thing about him because I never see LeBron look his age in his game. I might see his age in his hairline, but not in his performance. I believe this comes from his recovery. He invests in his body with rest and recovery. You see so many athletes with luxurious possessions, but when you look at their personal lives, are they investing in recovery?"
