theories that involve technical, scientific terminology. For example, it’s the rare coach who lists among his key resources on training philosophy the following passage from Professor Yuri V. Verkhoshansky’s respected sports science textbook, Programming and Organization of Training: “Indispensable conditions of training organization which provide extensive and relatively prolonged disturbance of homeostasis, are the precise dosage of loading, as well as rehabilitation stages necessary for triggering a compensatory reaction, elimination of the hetero-chronicalness phenomenon in the dynamics of the various functional indicators and stabilization of the organism at the new functional level.” Got that?
Although we should acknowledge the serious contributions of brilliant sport scientists such as Verkhoshansky, most BFS coaches naturally prefer to keep much of the technicalÎ5±V ÃTÅQ#€

VICK! VICK! VICTORY!- Virginia Tech’s Michael Vick

Virginia Tech’s Michael Vick is only a sophomore, but he’s the player to watch in the Heisman race.

Does football get any better than this? That’s the question Virginia Tech’s All-American quarterback Michael Vick must be asking himself as he continues his quest for college football’s greatest individual award, the Heisman Trophy. Vick has every right to bask in the glow of celebrity because, with the exception of being defeated by Florida State in the National Championship game last year, he has accomplished just about everything a college quarterback can dream of--certainly far more than could be expected of a freshman.
Let’s start with some numbers. In the air, Vick set a NCAA record in passing efficiency for freshmen (180.37) and single-season school records for highest yards passing per completion (20.4), per attempt (12.1) and completion percentage (59.2). He also threw 12 touchdown passes. On the ground, the player Sports Illustrated calls “Mr. Electric” rushed for 585 yards and eight TD's. Putting his numbers together, Vick’s 2,425 yards in total offense led the Big East conference and is ranked as the second-highest total in his school’s history for a single season. And did I mention that he was only a freshman at the time?
With those impressive stats, it’s no wonder that last year Vick was awarded an ESPY as the College Football Performer of the Year and prompted ESPN’s Chris Fowler to eloquently say, “This kid has a monstrously huge future in this game.” As for last year’s Heisman trophy, an award usually reserved for seniors, Vick finished third in the voting behind Wisconsin’s Ron Dayne and Georgia Tech’s Joe Hamilton×•5&•ã SFAê³"(UY:ìEkhg(9 x†8åeÂÜ^²±ÿH|DxõÇ'ëX~,ñµÌ±,:eÌ4 £BcÁQýàÝóZ_ð±£+™tá»Ý?JàõMZMcY¸Õ.ù#AÑG`+«i3'Je"´F5Æã÷›¹¨¼³!Âòqš·äõ5qaH‹»m*7:ûWµ¢Þ›» G[tù”‡FÉ÷¦Os¼nT }j75‰öô©#·ÊÁS·½^›“k‘‡v¶áWê“-‘ÅK,‘ƒû OëQ®0@×5<ÈÞ³æhš’…CÁê{T÷h².àld}=ê‡NõaåÂb48Án¸¨’Îè¬@»THÞF¡k2äaÀ8ôÿ&¦w%;}8ª·ˆÐƒÈqŠãÄÆðg}4ÑÚ´yêzQJÜ¯làt¢¼›ž‘¤ŒãŠx\v¥ÆG'šräb ÑL:S† =8(&¤bç8(ÛíRp)H÷0; 08Á;Ô€dÐW¸¤2?ÊŒsÖrrÝ[$ ppß[èdÀ`azine.MagazineID, Magazine.Title, Magazine.MagDate, Magazine.MagazineCategoryID, Magazine.Heading, Magazine.Rank,MagazineCategory.MagazineCategoryID FRO
