Let's not overdo the 'fitness' thing. All that's required is just a normal level of fitness - if you can walk to the local shops & back, you're fit enough.

One of the points made at my very first training day & emphasised since by several wise Observers & IOs is: don't run to incidents. There are several reasons for this, which have in the past been discussed on ten-tenths.

With respect to the original question, marshalling is like any job; knowing the 'hows' makes you competent, knowing the 'whys' makes you excellent.
