That goes for in-season as well as off-season.<br> I have trained with Coach Baskett for 14 of my 15 years as a player and his program has been the determining factor for my success in the NFL. Every young athlete should be striving to develop the most important asset in sports today . . . SPEED! SPEED KILLS by using SPEED SKILLS. <br><br>Editor s Note: Many BFS readers may remember Eugene Robinson from the Atlanta Falcons. The evening before the Super Bowl Eugene got involved in something stupid. He was accused of soliciting a prostitute. Teammates, coaches and fans all exclaimed,  Not Eugene Robinson. He was considered a role model. The last person to do something stupid. So why is Eugene in the BFS Journal?<br>In our Be An Eleven Student/Athlete Guidebook For Success, we devote a whole segment entitled  Even Elevens Make Mistakes. Eugene was extremely remorseful. He admitted he made a mistake. Eugene never tried to dodge responsibility for his actions. He stood and took the full wrath of the media. The charges were dropped. He did speak to a woman decoy but then drove off. Eugene paid a heavy price for a few moments of conversation. It was wrong. But, there is really nothing left to do but move on. Learn from a mistake, admit it, take the heat like a man and then move on. Eugene did this. He handled his mistake like an eleven.<br>Eugene is now entertaining offers from major TV networks to be a football commentator. BFS believes Eugene s story can be an inspiration to those who want to develop greater athletic speed as well as learning a lesson in real life.<br><br>DALE BASKETT AND BFS<br><br>I first met Coach Baskett at the NSCA Convention in Los Angeles last January of 2000. He was a featured speaker who really wowed all that heard him. We talked at length. It was like a light bulb being turned on for me. I didn t just fall off the turnip truck when it comes to speed and I have always been unsure of the total effectiveness of a track coach with a football player or athletes in different sports where change of direction was a key element of success. In other words,ard, offensive coordinator Rickey Bustle says that one of Vick s greatest strengths is that he is levelheaded and doesn t let things get to him.<br>Virginia Tech s Mike Gentry, Assistant Athletic Director for Athletic Performance, is especially impressed with Vick s attitude.  The most special thing about Michael Vick is not his outstanding athletic ability but the fact that with all the hoopla surrounding him, he continues to work hard and does not invite special attention. He just wants to be one of the players. <br><br>Weighty Matters<br>When Vick came to VT he had some good numbers in the weightroom for a freshman quarterback. At 195 pounds, he had a 270 bench press, a 34-inch vertical jump, and ran a 4.42 forty (hand timed). Impressive results at any level. After the first year under Coach Gentry s direction, Vick added 50 pounds to his bench, four inches to his vertical, and dro
