i didnt say just practice i said condition themselves. big difference. conditioning is intensive and specific.

> He was saying (from what I gather) that you don’t have to be a 300 lb guy who can run a 4.0 40 and still be a kicker. Most of the kicker’s are just average as far as muscle and size. Most of us couldn’t be a linebacker or on a line in the nfl simply because we could never be big and/or fast enough, those people are freaks. But most of us could train from a young age to be a kicker and actually have a shot becasue size and strength don’t really matter that much.

sproles doesnt have size but i think i also mentioned God given ability… he obviously was born with speed or enough ability to develop it. u can only develop ur abilities so much. i made it to college baseball and i knew the dream was over.
