TODAY’S TRAINING INSPIRATION:
JIM CRAIG
Today’s Colin Timberlake Training Inspiration is a man who played the most central role in one of the most inspiring underdog stories in sporting history: the 1980 Miracle on Ice.
Jim Craig was the unknown goaltender for Team USA when it entered the Olympics in a tournament that featured the powerhouse Soviet Union, backed up by none other than the legendary Vladislav Tretiak, considered by many to be the greatest goaltender of his generation.
Jim Craig, on the other hand, was part of a lineup composed primarily of college players who were expected to succeed be nobody at the Olympics other than themselves and their coaching staff.
In the semifinals of the 1980 Olympic tournament in Lake Placid, Craig was up against Tretiak in the opposite end. The Soviets fire 39 shots at Craig, of which he stopped 36 to earn a 4-3 victory for the Americans and a berth in the gold medal game.
With a 4-2 victory over Finland two days later, the Americans had made history and inspired a generation of hockey players. Craig went on to play several years in the NHL.
