Weightlifting and its carryover to other sports

Ok. 1 minute down and Ive got to say a few things
1) football at a level of greatness is above all else innate skill. You have to be born and bred to read plays, linemen, defenses, backs, blitzs, etc... You can lift until your eyes bleed but, as in Brock Lesnars case, you will not be good at football.
2) Lifting makes you stronger and faster. IF you have skill you need this to compliment your skill in football. It'd be like if Dale Earnhardt, or whoever todays best driver is, took a stock Monte Carlo to a Nascar race. Great driver, no body.
3) Im sure ill get more as this video progresses.
