Apply the principles learned and you will become an unstoppable force. It will become eminently evident that the sky really is the limit. It would indeed appear that a great fire has been ignited in the Vikings, in both coaches and student-athletes alike. As Charles Fuller, a senior linebacker, says,  We worked too hard to lose. As a senior I m proud of what we accomplished. To next years team: finish it!. 3 consecutive losing seasons. Then they hired veteran Coach Larry Smith who is one of only four college coaches who have taken four different teams to a bowl. The Tigers won in 1997 and 1998. They have won 17 out of the last 22 regular season games and last year finished 21st in the AP final rankings. <br> The difference in attitude had been like night and day from when I first got here, Rob recalled.  We have now found out how to win. We go into every game expecing to win. <br>I saw a sign in the weight room which revealed the expectations of Coach Summer and Coach Smith, who is now in his sixth year. It is about excuses.  Excuses are tools of incompetence that build monuments of nothingness and those that insist upon using them are seldom good at anything else. <br>Each year, nearly 100 players choose to live in Columbia during the summer, working out four times per week They also condition three days per week and work on plyometrics. During the season, the travel squad lifts twice per week. Those that don't make the travel squad train basically like the off-season. The weight room is a modern facility of 10,000-square feet which was completed in 1993 but is already undergoing a 3,000-square foot expansion.<br>Don Sommer is in his 11th year at MU and second as the head strength and conditioning coach. Coach Sommer ws 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 Stregth 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 rade.  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 tate, Air Force and Army. He took theACT test three times to get a score of 25 which got him ascholarship 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 s also speculation on being a first round draft choice. Rob's got it together. He is dedicated to excellence in all things. Rob is a business management major who will soon graduate. He even made the Academic Top-Ten list once with a 3.58 GPA.<br>Rob approaches his workouts like a football practice keeping single-mindedand focused. He believes in Coach Smith's motto,  leave your baggage at the door. <br>Rob has not missed and7='Oey Xts.؉IFC    $ &%# #"(-90(*6+"#2D26;=@@@&0FKE>J9?@=C  =)#)==================================================" }!1AQa"q2#BR$3br %&'()*456789:CDEFGHIJSTUVWXYZcdefghijstuvwxyz w!1AQaq"2B #3Rbr $4%&'()*56789:CDEFGHIJSTUVWXYZcdefghijstuvwxyz ?6PO}Z[/osH}0z(gl?gTյ'x?h 8" v@Akm| lQs:z`#0"6pTmLy1zN@J0[B@Q~ ),c*6׽1MNDk8PeI\;?sU_j"[9۾*/:uȗV9\F;Զ|+\[9 prq*Ft^)"$3]Dީ_"2)23O^ 6ڞ _G?QN(Ο(yHOApjGNJ{iOQNLss֘B܀z:xSWS4p)덣Ɨz"5H>#F=28l@o%x3rH]IM .W P lacW@0J@
