Giants HC Brian Daboll reveals secret behind his weight loss - "I was not pleased with it"

Brian Daboll is looking for a change with the Giants this upcoming season after a disappointing outing in 2023. If one believes that change begins first with oneself, the New York head coach sets a great example of taking up a challenge and finishing it.

The Giants coach has looked noticeably leaner in his press conferences this offseason. He was asked what his secret was and revealed that it was Pilates. He got introduced to it through his wife's friend on a Sunday a few months ago and tried it out.

Brian Daboll admitted that in the first few weeks, it was not too pleasant as he was sore. He was also circumspect enough to admit that he was getting older and, therefore, did not know how long he could keep it up:

"The first one where I go, it's called DTR Pilates in Wycoff. A friend of my wife's. We were having dinner on a Sunday, a few months ago, and I said, I think I want to try that. So I started going. First few weeks, I was not too pleased with it. It was was pretty sore.

"But, you know, I tried to stick with it and go pretty early in the morning. As you get older, there's less things you can do. So we'll see how that goes."

Brian Daboll must transfer his tenacity to Giants

What Brian Daboll is doing deserves praise and he will be hoping that his single-mindedness inspires some of the Giants players too to become better than what they achieved last year. In 2022, after reaching the Divisional Round and being named coach of the season, the New York head coach would have wanted to challenge for honors in 2023.

Instead, they failed to reach the postseason, struggled with injuries to starting quarterback Daniel Jones, moved on from his defensive coordinator, and lost star running back Saquon Barkley to divisional rivals Eagles.

Their offensive line was also the worst in the league at allowing pressures and there were rumors of discontent between the head coach, quarterback, and offensive coordinator. It was an altogether unpleasant experience for many Giants fans.

The 2024 season will be a new beginning. They will have to enter the season with the mentality that no excuse will be good enough to fail. How Brian Daboll has taken up Pilates at his age and is rocking it should, therefore, serve as an inspiration.
