We are dominate at LSU because we lift. Our baseball coaches believe in it. They even come down to watch us. They check in. <br> Without our strength and conditioning program, asserts Brandon,  we would be mediocre baseball team. If you mis a weight workout, it is like missing apractice. You are not going to get away with it. It would ruin the fabric of the team if we were not committed, dedicated and required to weight train. <br> You need to do your fexibility workout, advised Brad.  The theoy thatweights tighten you up is a myth. I does nothing but good if you do it the riht way. <br> For pitchers not to lift is a crock, said Brandon.  I work my legs. I know that's where it' at. And, I don't go crazy on the bench. <br>Brad contiued,  Yu must be committed and have a desire to make your goal. Set your goals high. Brandon added.  I will take will and determnation. You can't be afraid to lose. You can't go out scared. Just be determined to mow 'em down. <br>Last season, the LSU Tiger baseball team did not do that well in the SEC tournament. The team said not to worry bout it. Regionals were what was important for the national championship. They hit 20 homeruns in four games to win regionals! That was a record. randon was selected to the All-Tournament NCAA South Two Regional Team. Tey hit 17 homeruns in the College World Series which tied the record while finishing third. Brad was selected as a First Tea All-American and led the SEC in homeruns and RB's. <br>Brandon seemed so squared away during our interview, I was surprised to hear him say,  I made some bad choices in high school. I got kicked out of school my senior year. But, I did some real soul searching. I realized God gave me some talent and I wasn't supposedto waste it. I got my life back together, went to junior college and ten on to LSU. <br> I never miss class now. I turn in my asignment on time. don't drink, or chew, I don't think alchol and tobacco are part of baseball or life. At seventeen I never would hae said that. My brain wasn't on the right path. Brndon is, not surprisingly, majoring in philosophy and religious studies. He plans on geting a Masters Degree with a goal of teaching and coaching at a junior college. Further goals include going after a Ph.D. and becoming a university coach. <br> I might play pro ball if it happens, philosophies Brandon.
