Olympic Sprinter Teaching Prospects Proper Technique
Oct 8, 2014 6:22 AM
Football players rarely break out into a sprint, but nearly every prospect is measured on his ability to cover 40 yards as quickly as possible.
Ato Boldon, who owns four Olympic medals and a world championship, is teaching prospects at the TEST Football Academy to run like Olympic sprinters.
"I am basically turning football players into sprinters for a while," Boldon says. "When we first talked about it, I didn't know how my expertise could be used."
This year, Boldon is working with approximately 60 collegians.
