Robbie Rogers and other LGTBI athletes weigh in on the ‘perfect body’
Robbie Rogers is among the LGBTI athletes who have been asked to weigh in on what they consider to be the ‘perfect body.’
‘I think of it in a different way then most people,’ Rogers tells BuzzFeed. ‘Most people would be, “Six-packs and pecs.” I don’t really care what I look like in a bathing suit during the season as long as I’m able to run eight or nine miles a game.’
The LA Galaxy player says he starts to think about his weight – things like body fat and muscle mass – when he is getting set to play a season for his Major League Soccer team.
Julie Shaw, basketball coach at LaVerne University, puts an emphasis on health over appearance.
‘A perfect body is a body that you’re comfortable with, one that is healthy for you,’ she says.
‘Perfection is I think at tomes unattainable – especially when you’re talking about health and your body. I think we all have to own our bodies and know what’s good for us and know what’s healthy for us.’
