It is about excuses.  Excuses are tools of incompetence that build monuments of nothingness and those that insist upon using them are seldom good at anything else. <br>Each year, nearly 100 players choose to live in Columbia during the summer, working out four times per week They also condition three days per week and work on plyometrics. During the season, the travel squad lifts twice per week. Those that don't make the travel squad train basically like the off-season. The weight room is a modern facility of 10,000-square feet which was completed in 1993 but is already undergoing a 3,000-square foot expansion.<br>Don Sommer is in his 11th year at MU and second as the head strength and conditioning coach. Coach Sommer was a four year starter at Texas-El Paso and played for three different pro teams. He bsp; He asked me if he could put the message&nbsp;on the players lockers and&nbsp;I said yes immediately.&nbsp; We talked about it all week individaully and as a team.&nbsp; We always talk about dealing with adversity to the team and now they knew it was time to stand up and be counted.&nbsp; It certainly seemed to work as we went on to win our last 6 conference games and gained the fourth and last spot in the playoffs.&nbsp; We were 7-1 and the three other teams were 8-0; we would have to go on the road for the first time in three years.&nbsp; However, the players knew that would be the case from the second week on and they were excited about the opportunity of being back in the playoffs.</P> <P>We played the number one seeded team at their field.&nbsp; They were undefeated and to make matters worse they were coached by a close friend of mine who had come over from New York a couple of years after me.&nbsp; We were losing 7-6 am is a place where Jim develops and demonstrates leadership. He states,  A quarterback needs to be in the weightroom more that anyone else. Everybody says it is freaky for a quarterback to s twice a week. <br><br>BFS: Have you tested Jesseca's and Kevin's vertical jumps?<br><br>LJ: Yes, Jesseca has a 26-inch vertical and can grab the basketball rim. Kevin has a 33-inch vertical and can dunk very easily.<br><br>BFS: Has the administration at Wyoming been supportive of the track program?<br><br>LJ: Our athletic director is Lee Moon, and he's really given us a lot of support. We've been able to upgrade our facility and our equipment, and all this has given Kevin and Jesseca the opportunities to accomplish what they have. Our athletes are able to travel to the meets and get the necessary national exposure.<br><br>BFS: With the WAC having expanded to 16 teams, how has this affected track and field?<br><br>LJ: The Rocky Mountain schools have always been traditionally good in the field events and the distance events because of the altitude, and the Texas schools have some of the best sprinters in the country. When you combine them you've got one of the toughest overall conferences in the country.<br><br>BFS: Are any of the WAC schools still recruiting elite-level track athletes from foreign countries?<br><br>LJ: You still see a little bit of it, and it mak tXls|+v!Y+MAt[:BQ-$2/3CL%}䣵iITIt$e_R`\ JSҝ}Z;ʌ쵙OQv-3# E<_-Ia&),ou!5pMCރ)*/Kv獨5ō5MͯX5`{U^zP,3B;M~&?M[v"ۅl dɸDܺJn*8HROOJ2s/UmEH|:t5 b9 ~Co۩Rn&.]3GN$.)8bÕs_o%dьgx-$_/RGjEn`GltSbە)F\sxC-E+20q)IR oVDz07*IÉ$: fh\2рDZ1>#i*n.xSRGg]AYpa+gF 0Eڭ "kb5 oP-TI{sFf0u[KͫNmm n[{9~t=_flwQӂ# O-:p9_:tpmB%[ N f>DݸjMm E$6;`c5qaE_F7 r>°l.`ڛwn~ZkE3r͒JkF'$ ΥGͧhe bW[AǸ@Gb߸ո!Ot~^W)p1n=JfF>%8"mwj1PBUߤngRѱ~+ VnGNx*2h"X$ܓ5#髖{MXMfqa*0ǼGV nc&b +([$h/}4u„FgˍEzWovu6'(rs\7D) &pMøеska~%I$ap[xDqL%CbI]nd4oa$] 0d6/“p~!MHiBY bmDݱsr@82riMV&Ĝ.{ xSkXec`-=Ը`[(mi56wը;f3 }R ApN+q3yr<+ɵ5C pu6w8z$qPhfl=J34B jhAjv3Xmc,8}eBDDFA"pyq A e%u|-Jb۽6 ?%IҨeR"'%cߞ?Ŏ8Ca6-j:'j!.=Qm!*/mbǶU 4p줱#Uɸ(': nv gk!Pgә _X}^nI Tl|-K7TMMm^/\LY7+r6]>Ej.y/WPe@0")
