Obviously, there is great wisdom and success in the approach Manning takes; something both young and old) can strive to emulate. Yet, the "sages" of educating today's young people in the foundations of learning regard this as awful, something "stultifying", as "drill and kill,"

The Colts' summer training camp is practically in my back yard. I love watching the practices. There is so much going on, you cannot imagine it's organized, but it is. Peyton hitting pass after pass after pass. Freeney lines up tackling dummies the whole length of the field and runs zigging through them for hours. When you see how hard these guys (I'm sure other pros work hard as well), you begin to understand what makes a pro athlete.
To me, what sets the Colts apart is that you rarely see a Colt player act like Chad Johnson, or Terrell Owens. Tony Dungy simply doesn't allow it. I feel safe taking my children to watch these practices because I know they are going to see behavior worthy of emulation.
