But physical exertion in cold weather is hard on the body.  If they work as hard and do as many reps in the cold it will wear them down physically.  The human body uses a lot of energy just to keep warm, and breathing hard in dry cold air can actually inflame the bronchia and lungs.  When I lived in Boulder CO I knew some top athletes who trained there.  more than one of them got bronchitis from over exertion in dry cold conditions.

So even though it is good to practice in rain and wet conditions we still need a better indoor practice facility to deal with lightening and extreme cold.  It doesn't do players any good to "get used to the cold" if they can't get in the reps they need to prepare for the game.

It isn't about pampering professional athletes.

It's about understanding the body, and not to put them in unnecessary harm's way.
