With a sincere belief that a country can be improved because it's citizens take action to become better people, Dave Cummings set upon a two year mission. His goal is to make one million free throws - in order to do so, he needs to average 1400 per day. His 500,000th made shot will be taken on Nov. 11th, with his millionth shot planned for just over a year from now on Veteran's Day 2011. His commitment, Hoops for Heroes, is in support of injured returning veterans.
Dave, a married father of three who works full time, makes 1400 free throws on a daily basis. Therefore athletes, regardless of age, should certainly be able to set aside the time to get in their desired amount of daily work in order to improve their skills.
