I've been playing in an adult recreational soccer league (full field/45 min halves) for a few months. My primary form of exercise is training for strength/powerlifting, but I enjoy soccer and grew up playing the sport. I have a game today. It's over 100 degrees outside. I haven't played soccer in 100 degree heat in a decade (I'm 25). I also have gained 60 pounds since I was 15.
A quick poll of a few friends lead to the general consensus that I'd be stupid to go. Our team is currently ranked second in our division. We're playing the top ranked team. So far, they have scored 43 goals this season (we've scored 23).
Going and getting our asses kicked (almost certainly) for 90 minutes in 100 degree heat sounds about as fun as getting kicked in the balls to me right now.
