When you say athleticism, Vince Carter really perpetuates the total meaning of the word. Vince is a Mainland graduate and also the #1 role model of the athletes at Mainland, as well as other athletes throughout the country. We have taken our football program at Mainland High School and placed an overwhelming emphasis on speed, athleticism, and explosiveness. Our defense, offense, kicking game, and concepts are developed and implemented based on these 3 factors. <br><br>Our strength-training class is 70% athletic strength training, which includes only those movements and exercises that require speed, athleticism and explosiveness as a primary requisite. Whatever we lift must simulate the actions we are evaluating, testing and/or what we do in football. Example: when we do a perfect parallel squat we can go out and see improvement in the 20 and 40 yard dash and the vertical jump. When we power clean, we explode off the line faster and harder, jump higher and sprint faster. When we close-grip bench press we are using similar action and technique used at all positions. We put a 'stop watch' to almost all of our training, including the weight room, interval running and interval sprints. Coaches that do not use the stopwatch may be using other sophisticated technology, but I believe they are missing one of sports best teaching aids, the stopwatch. <br><br>The other 30% of our class includes speed improvement skills, quicks or fast twitch drills, plyometrics, and agilities simulated in football.
