Meaning
This can be taken to mean that competitive play itself is the training, not just the workout around it. It reads as a practical view of fitness, where match rhythm, pressure, and repetition build form over time. The line lands for an athlete trying to regain sharpness after a break, because game time can be the most honest kind of conditioning.
