Answer
Hello Chris,

First off let me say you need to get to work right now. I'm not sure if you are familiar with the four cones-agility drill. Put four cones in a 7 yard apart square. Sprint up the cone, slide to the right cone, back pedal to the back cone, slide to the left cone. Find a hill and run sprints up the hill. Invest in a parachute and run wind sprints. Leg squats, crunches and plenty of cardio. Bench pressing and push-ups for upper body strength.
