Last season he led LSU in homeruns (29) and runs batted in (90). Brad attended Marina High School in California where he lettered three years as a catcher. As a senior, he hit .445 with 11 doubles, 12 homeruns and 30 RBIs. Brad was the Orange County MVP as a junior. His father works as the bullpen coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Brad, is a Kinesiology major and Benches 290 pounds.<br>If Brad were a high school baseball coach, he would have his team aggressively lift weights.  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 a mediocre baseball team. If you miss a weight workout, it is like missing a practice. 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 flexibility workout, advised Brad.  The theory that weights tighten you up is a myth. It does nothing but good if you do it the right way. <br> For pitchers not to lift is a crock, said Brandon.  I work my legs. I know that's where it's at. And, I don't go crazy on the bench. <br>Brad continued,  You must be committed an have a desire to make your goal. Set your goals high. Brandon added.  It will take will and determination. You can't be afraid to lose. You can't go out scared. Just be determined to mow 'm down. <br>Last season, the LSU Tiger baseball team did not do that well in the SEC tournament. The team said not to worry about it. Regionals were what was important for the national championship. They hit 20 homeruns in four games to win regionals! That was a record. Brandon was selected to the All-Tournament NCAA South Two Regional Team. They hit 17 homeruns in the College World Series which tied the recong at our school: At Estacada High School, the Home of the Rangers, Winning isn t everything; it s just part of what we do! <br>While other athletes are looking for the shortcut or the easy way out, while they are off doing who knows what, screwing around, cuttole program around, and then when we played on Fridays the whole town practically shut down. Even as Damien Anderson looks toward his own promising career in the NFL, his veteran advice is to stay focused, and find ways to continually motivate yourself.  You just have to want it - you need that inner drive to be successful. <br>Drive on, Damien!<br><br><br>_______________<br><br> Damien has a great work ethic, He leads by example and he s very coachable. Even with all of the Heisman hype he continues to work hard. I wish we had more like him. <br>Larry Lilja, Northwestern Head Strength CoachcFjS&T wE8{iq&DL8DG oUfgGl'\ e&tqނ"hi<<#W:ln &,F;wwuI"QUPqaٲH-~{Y:&͌m `b'f!iz?}m Ja&E3R[vw aS:zCyk!^=JV-E-exs΂b- aw5|KbWݹ{}} _EdZ&?$|q1v̍ McV\jg)1}k7T%FJ̉FtG@^)kЩA,$@EJOg-QXPXjYz.BN`'3Wm2ʪ|E. 3Y{wi.TcR 9&Ħ{۵ՎOJ9ua6JHi $=:w XuxyZ!ڱw&T$Y]T!H{Pzeވ&:YfJaDI\z"mz 4 rdG k[⹯b 摠>vѲ(l',ػ!1*ip&ry0dr GwlLjF96%_("X h7r?Ն]s&%̥dO\yãbLi^#H9ɑ 3ʛyQYV$" E?\{̷MȻË(D%0d-lOhDZ3E1ȴԖBŅͥz 矩Xt^eʙ x=LJ9bHs Joo/ffCRyL}B>;9!eFEDwNOHV CM-N_TK,0 QB]j֞&dO3O&Dq%t/'B;t "UvaմKdT |J|R԰`0["@I|}ɀf9T0s$ԶAWݒTK(VlRɼɕAE5|c<`x(L5jgb!Ҵh=
