You mentioned athletes in this one, how does your time as an athlete interact with how you move, operate, and see yourself as a certified Restaurant Person?
Kitchens require sooo much physical activity, like lifting, standing, bending, stretching and enduring hot/cold transitions. Even though we're focused on service, it feels like a marathon where physical bodies are just an afterthought. I realized that if I were walking that many steps or lifting all of that same weight in a gym or for a competition, I'd be treating myself way better! (Aka, not eating only one meal a day, drinking enough water, living off of caffeine, etc.!)
