We have all heard the famous Allen Iverson speech. We have quoted it for years and it has become the go-to punchline when talking about practice in professional sports. “Practice? We’re talking about practice, man.” In retrospect, Iverson was completely right. Who cares about practice? Records, statistics, and championships are won on game days, not during practice. Well, don’t tell that to the Indianapolis Colts.
For the Colts, practice is the lifeblood of their team and what they want to do on Sundays. It determines who plays, what plays are going to be run, and many other factors for those all-important games.
