To enter the NFL players take exams that last hours in order to determine their athletic intelligence. The need to be able to read the field, react in an instant and make a ton of micro decisions simultaneously. We don't have the same demands in triathlon, but having athletic intelligence can be a huge help in successful training and racing.
