Look no further than the Thorns Academy when looking for coaches who body shame and play mental games with your players. Surprised someone hasn’t sued them yet over the mental harm everyone is subjected to at that club.

So telling a player they are overweight, or fat is abusive? It is fat this is causing the problem

Coaches can tell players they're not fit without being abusive. Please share what you experienced.

Lots of old school fools here in this forum, who think that being an authority entitles one to be an a55hole.

"You are too fat to play" is right on the border of acceptable. "Overweight" might be a better term, and better yet would be reference to some objective standard of fitness--"you can't run three miles without staggering at the end and being all out of breath", "your BMI (body mass index) is too high", etc. OTOH, it's not outright abusive like calling a player a pig. And it also matters where such advice is delivered--private criticism is better to be received than public.
And the weight of the coach shouldn't matter--coaches aren't athletes.
