Staff members disclose sport stars’ habits and behavior behind the scenes

It could be argued that superstar athletes don’t quite exist on the same planet as the rest of us. They’ve honed their craft for years, training to become the absolute best in the world since childhood. You simply don’t inhabit that mindset for years without it having some… unexpected side effects.
LeBron James, for example, got his first big cover on a 2002 issue of Sports Illustrated… when he was a junior in high school. How can you be normal when you’re a household name before you’re even old enough to drive? Other athletes have also had their life transformed by either wealth or their obsession with winning.
Whatever the case may be, these larger-than-life figures sometimes seem superhuman. Learning about their little quirks and eccentricities helps us be reminded that they, too, are just like us. And who better suited to see these supermen (and women) as humans than the people behind the scenes, who take care of their most outrageous demands and learn their strangest habits?

McDonald’s have been a sponsor of the Olympics for a while now. In fact, the Olympic Village created to house the athletes in every host city has its very own McDonald’s branch… And everything’s free!

No one took more advantage of that than legendary Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt. Since he was said to have disliked Chinese food, his diet during the Beijing Olympics consisted solely of Chicken McNuggets. He ate 10,000 of them during his Beijing stay, and won three gold medals.
