Gary: What did Mr. Martin want? Deanna: Oh, his older boys played football. He thinks we're not training hard enough because the kids aren't throwing up. Gary: Oh, we should've asked Jake Reistroffer to come to practice today. He has a stomach virus.

This article http://tinyurl.com/6cvfro includes the following paragraph:
… it used to be common practice to train athletes until they vomit. Studies show that by training that hard you are filling your body with a poison and the only way to rid the body of poison is to vomit. Due to the fact that because you have filled your body with an acid the recovery is as much as 30% longer than if you went a bit easier and didn’t vomit, without sacrificing results. This is a very important find and many coaches need to take this into account when running judo sessions.

I once used a line, verbatim, in Cleats that I heard at a youth football practice. A mom was telling another mom that the coach worked the kids so hard that her son would come off the field after practice and throw up. She added proudly, “He loves it!” referring to her son. Football people are intense.
