Chariots of Fire Redux

Another line I love from 'Chariots of Fire' is when
the Headmaster at Cambridge is addressing the
incoming freshmen at their first dinner and says:

'Let each of you discover where your true chance
for greatness lies. Seize that chance and let no
power on Earth deter you'

Of course that chance came for Eric Liddel and
Harold Abrahams on the Olympic track in 1924.
Where will your chance for greatness lie?

If it's going to happen for you on the basketball
court you're going to need a good set of wheels.
Yes, a pair of strong legs is a necessity if you
want to be a great shooter. Every shooting coach
I've ever met talks about the importance of leg
drive.

You can always use more strength, stamina,
endurance, speed and explosiveness.

The NFL Hall of Fame rusher Walter Payton, who
was the personification of leg drive, had a big-time
training secret. In the off-season he did hill sprints
religiously. So did all-world wide receiver Jerry Rice, a
nd heavyweight champion boxer Rocky Marciano.

You've probably run steps before in your training,
but do you know the benefits of sprinting them? Do
you know what kind of edge that could give you on
the basketball court?

Coach Tim Kauppinen a top sprint coach from
Wisconsin can answer that question. You can see
what Tim has to say about it in print over at:

P.S. Matt Furey used hill sprints to propel himself to
NCAA and World Championships in the martial arts,
and he recognizes Tim as a world-class expert on
these secret training techniques. Learn over 20
