It's not that we just go out and do the power clean. We take our time teaching it, breaking down the lift into phases. We start with the deadlift, then work on the high pull and then the rack position. You've got to break it down." As an added incentive to put forth 100 percentin the weight room, every May the coaches put on what Dicus calls a "strength show" with the football team. "We do all of our testing on stage in the auditorium for the high school student body and the community. We put the spotlights on them and blare the music it's just unbelievable. Last year about 700 fans came to watch."<br><br>Concernig injuries, Dicus says, "We have been blessed. Over the last several years we haven't had any injuries in the weightroom. Also, because our depth is very minimal, in our practices we don't do any tackling where we're going to take them to the ground."<br><br>Although other athletes use the weight room, Dicus says all the workouts are designed along similar lines. "It goes along with Greg's philosophy of training the core lifts, and adding auxiliary lifts that are specific to each sprt. And thegirls lift right alongside the boys." As for assistance exercises, he favors dumbbell movements becuse he believes they more effectively improve stability and flexibility, and because they offer a high degree of variety that keeps the motivation high. As for machines, Dicus desn't use them much because he doesn't think they are appropriate for his situation. "We use predominantly free weights. That's our major emphasis, and that's what we believe in."<br><br>There are a lot of distractions facing high school students, and discipline can be a problem in some football programs, but Dicus says Texas City has found an approach that works. "We put a lot of responsibility and accountability on our kids, and I think self-discipline plays a big part in their success not only on the field but in the classroom as well. These kids are very hard workers. They never missed a workout this summer, did everything they were asked to do, and put in a great effort doing it. Good things come to those who are willing to take on that level of responsibility."<br><br>This year the strength program will be taken over by Todd McVay and Tim Finn, as Dicus has accepted the position of head coach atfor the team! <br>The plane and banner showed up again for the next game, just in time to turn the score in the Gladiators favor, and again for the first game of the playoffs, which unfortunately, the Gladiators didn t win. Against their nemesis Forestville, the defending champs, Glenelg lost 20 points to 7. But they had made it to the playoffs, and that effort was pure eleven!<br><br>Where from Here?<br><br>As a fitting end to the season, Coach Davis was named the county s Coach of the Year. However, a humbled Coach Davis already has his sights focussed on the new season.
