too many games.
not enough rotation because every player is expensive.
players are getting more athletic so more forces put into the ground at higher speeds and shorter ground contact times.
time off between seasons are way too short. pre seasons are way too short. 4 week preseason to go from sedentary to game speed is nowhere near enough.

Do the players even have long enough of an offseason for them to really be considering “from sedentary” at the beginning of the pre-season? The players who are called up to offseason international tournaments definitely don’t.
