The "not fit enough" trope

[story about Katrina J-T, world's best heptathlete]
"Moore, who guided Phillips Idowu and Ashia Hansen to world titles, quickly diagnosed that the 30-year-old was not fit enough when he began training her a year ago. "

I mean, really. A world-class athlete who is not fit enough?
