My dad talked to me about my goals. I really thank my dad. He never pushed me but gave me all the help in the world. So I never took another drink in high school after that.<br> When I got to Missouri, I made it a point to let everyone know that I wasn t a drinking guy. Family, education, God and work ethic are what is important. <br>Coach Toub talks about Brock s work ethic in a challenge that he accepted.  Everybody thought it was impossible. We have this awesome hill nearby. The challenge was to run up to the top and back down twenty times in twenty minutes. Brock had it all planned out and he met the challenge with two minutes to spare. <br>Brock thinks highly of his strength coaches.  I give them all the credit in the world. My strength coaches have really helped me and our team prepare for football. <br>Brock s motto is  Dream Big. His dad told him that he would have to work harder than everyone because he wasn t blessed like others.  I believe you should take advantage of every opportunity. I love the Latin phrase  Carpe Diem which means  Seize the Day. That s what I want to do everyday now and in the future.<br> After my playing days are over, I want to be involved in football. I want to give back what I ve been given to the kids of the future. <br>I understood after my interview with Brock what the media guide said about him being the most dedicated athlete in America. Brock is a true eleven  a true Upper Limit athlete. We thank him for being such a great example!econd as the head strength and condiioning coach. Coach Sommer was a four year starter at Texas-El Paso and played for three different pro teams. He holds a master's degree in human performance. Bob Jones is the Associate Strength and Conditioning coach who is in his 12th year at MU. He works basically with the other Tiger sports. Coach Jones holds a master's degree from MU in human performance and sports psychology.<br>Rob started lifting in the 7th grade.  I read about Power Cleans, remembered Rob,  so I did them on my own. Hazelwood West, where I went to high school, is a Jr.-Sr. High school set up, so I lifted with the high school athletes.<br> I started playing football in the 9th grade as a 6-0 220-pound guard. As a senior, I grew to be 6-2 265 pounds and ran a 5.1 forty. Rob made the all-Suburban North Conference team twice but did not make the Missouri All-State team. He also lettered in wrestling and track while being recruited by Stanford, Michigan State, Air Force and Army. He took the ACT test three times to get a score of 25 which got him a scholarship to Stanford.  However, said Rob,  I finally decided to stay in my home state because of Coach Smith but I don't think I was coveted at all coming out of high school.<br> We did the BFS program in high school. It gave me a great start here at Missouri. Strength and Conditioning is the present and future of athletics. I read the BFS Journals and I remember the article on Steve Emtman (U. of Washington). He was astonishing. It was motivating an inspiring. <br>Rob redshirted his first year and played defense. The following spring they moved him to offensive guard and he promptly started nine games. Rob's sophomore year saw yet another change. Because the centers graduated, he was moved to that position.  I've got lateral quickness, Rob avowed.  So things have worked out well. <br>That is an understatement. Last year as a junior Rob was an All-Big12 first team center. This year he is a pre-season all-America. There is also speculation on being a first round draft choice. Rob's got it together. He is de
