One of Tommy Speer’s favorite chores on the farm is milking cows with his younger brother, Jim. Speer integrates his physical training with his farm chores, starting his days at 4 a.m. Four to six hours of each day are dedicated to athletic training. Now that he has become a professional athlete, Speer said he doesn’t really have to farm anymore, but he wants to.
