He certainly seems willing to put in extra work with the players to try to make his dream become a reality! Good luck to him – after all the coaches can’t teach speed but everything else can be learned by highly motivated players.

But then again, I wish all the guys that try to make it well, as they pursue their dream. I wasn’t good enough to make it, so I know how they feel. The reality is very few actually make it.

Ben Johnson didn’t have wheels???
You’re right though, he does have previous football experience which is a big plus compared to Ben

Difference here is that this guy has wheels – and has played the game

Ah yes. Maybe that was it. I remember it didn’t last long!
