Frenzy yeah most of my CFA will be in a gym with a bball court. And I never knew hairspray could help traction I'll definitely try that. U think it works on Nike free runs as well as it does on bball shoes because I don't own bball shoes (just running shoes like UA Speedform Apollo and I am definitely not doing a shuttle in those)
I'm not sure if it would work on non-basketball shoes, but I'm guessing it would. The hairspray makes it sticky. Put some on the soles of the shoes and then wait for it to dry and you will get better traction on hardwood floor. You may need to check with someone to make sure adding traction to your shoes isn't against the rules. If you get a brand new pair of basketball shoes, they will have great traction without the hairspray.
So, you possible leaders of the US Air Force want to hair spray your shoes.
I would like possible leaders of the US Air Force to do things in the most effective and efficient manner, yes. I would also like possible leaders of the US Air Force to be open-minded, innovative people.
? You are, say, a maintenance officer, and want your avionics to work well, but instead of doing the needed repairs, you cover a crack in the wire in gum - "This works great!"
Your example is irrelevant to the situation at hand. A better example would be a maintenance officer wants his avionics to work well and he figures out he can repair them 10% faster by eating carrots, so he eats carrots. By using the carrots the maintenance officer is improving efficiency and by using hair spray the OP is improving efficiency. In your example the maintenance officer is doing something that could have serious repercussions. There are no repercussions to the OP putting hair spray on his shoes provided that he makes sure it is permitted.
Is this what we want of our officers? One who can't get the job done unless s/he is barefooted, or hair-sprayed, in or not in cleats? Come on, kids. Pass the CFA on your own skill and merit, not by tweaking.
Alright, I guess I should ask my football coach if we can play the first game of the season with tennis shoes instead of cleats so that we can win on our "own skill and merit, not by tweaking."
If you have ever watched a professional basketball game, when a player is about to check into the game he or she steps on this pad with their shoes. This is a sticky pad. It makes their shoes sticky so they don't slide all over the court. Hair spray does the exact same thing except it's a lot cheaper to get than one of the sticky pads. Spit and sweat does the same thing too(if you watch lower level basketball a lot of players will lick their hands and white them on the soles of their shoes or put sweat on the bottom on their shoes).
The OP is unfortunate in that he doesn't have a track to run the shuttle run on. Ideally, the shuttle run would be ran on a track. One gets great traction on tracks. I am fortunate enough to have a track to run the shuttle run on. Should I offer to run it on asphalt instead so that I can "Pass the CFA on your own skill and merit, not by tweaking"?
Please, while I understand the desire to max out your CFA and to use all legal options to do so, your best option is really to practice EVERY SINGLE DAY, and to do your absolute best, and forget the shoe-changing, hair spraying, etc.
That simply isn't true. The OP's best option is to practice every single day AND use all legal options that can increase his score.
