Although we didn t quite know what we were doing, we enjoyed lifting. As hislove for lifting eventually evolved into a desire to be a strength coach, after college, Batson accepted graduate-assistant jobs to perfect his skills. He took on greater responsibilities at smaller schools, and four years ago became the head strength coach at Clemson.<br>Batson says one of the biggest influences in his training philosophy has been Louie Simmons, arguably the most accomplished powerlifting coach in the world  Several years ago I spent some time visiting Louie and I still talk to him about every two months--Louie has been a great help to me, says Batson.  His gym is pretty barbaric--there s not much there--but it just shows you that you can take some barbells and dumbbells, a glute-ham bench and a power rack and get just about as strong as anybody. <br>The Clemson strength program is well staffed with four full-time coaches, three graduate assistants, two student assistants and one volunteer. With that level of help, Batson is able to group his athletes under separate coaches, which allows for greater individuality. But Clemson s commitment to football doesn t stop with quality coaches.<br>Batson says Bowden is pushing hard to get a 10,000-square-foot weightrom completed as soon as possible, one that will cater primarily to football.  We ve got a brand new football complex in the works, saysBatson.  When you add that accomplishment to our indoor-turf field, it s a program that you know is only going to get better. <br>Although Batson has made it to the top of his profession, he is realistic when encouraging others to follow in his footsteps.  If you really want to get involved in this profession, you need to sit down with someone who is established in the field nd let them tell it to you straight. It s a long, hard road, and I think a lot of guys get into it and don t realize the amount of time they have to put in, says Batson, who often finds himself working 14-hour days.  It s pretty brutal--you have to have a love for it. That s for sure. <br>The advice Batson gives prospective college football players in regard to their strength program depends upon the high school and the strength program they are coming from.  Some guys come in cleaning and squatting with very good technique, and you always have pretty good bench pressers. What I generally see that needs the most work is overall conditioning, and we often have to elevate their work capacity so they can handle the amount of work they do on the field. <br><br>Training Grrrrrrrreat <br>Tigers!<br><br>Batson is convinced that conditioning was a significant factor in why the team finished strong last year.  We re always going to be a well-conditioned team, says Batson.  In Coach Bowden s philosophy, number one is conditioning, number two is speed, and number three is strength. This is not to diminish the importance of strength, because strength and speed go together, but Coach Bowden will never sacrif206w@206wp*206w 206w206wP206wp3206w`206w0206w206wpB206wp206w*206w`206wp420Ɛ br6wp,r6w r6wlr6w(dr6wp5r6w r6wXpr6wdr6wp@r6w r6wsr6w(zr6wp2r6w r6w`|r6wxr6wpAr6w r6wnr6w4r6wp*r6w0 r6w~r6wr6wpHr6w@ r6wr6wvr6wp?r6w r6wur6wxr6wp8r6w r6w8wr6w8|r6wp.r6w r6wr6w@59r6wPGrkr6wp+r6w r6w 6w8|206w206wr206w 206w206w206wpRv%206wP206wpa206wh206wA206wxi206wu206wpV206w 206w0206w}206wpW206w 206w206w(z206wpK206w 206w206wq4206wpP206w@ 206w206wH~206wpb206w 206w206wz206wpL206w 206wx206w{206wpR206w0 206w206w~206wpY206w 20
