Every once in a while, Kate Upton might want her fiance Justin Verlander to have a terrible performance.
In an appearance Wednesday on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, the supermodel and 2017 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover star said the Detroit Tigers pitcher has strict pregame and postgame rules.
For one thing, there’s “absoultely” no sex before games, but afterwards is no sure thing either. Sometimes, it depends on how Verlander pitches.
“What I’ve just found out is, if he plays too well, there’s no sex after, either,” Upton said. “What a buzzkill for me!”:
Verlander’s rules about pregame nookie may be more of a personal preference for trying to focus, but being married to a supermodel may not make it easy:
Legendary boxers like Muhammad Ali and Rocky Marciano stayed away from sex before big fights, but Super Bowl-winning quarterback Joe Namath felt the opposite way. Research published in the journal Frontiers in Physiology took a look at various studies and research, but found that there was “no robust scientific evidence to indicate that sexual activity has a negative effect upon athletic results,” according to study author Laura Stefani.
Many athletes and coaches have said that you can lose “aggressiveness, energy, power, focus, and recovery” if you abstain from sex before a workout or performance.
