He loves pulling sleds and does all of his plyometric drills with weighted vests in order to get used to what football pads feel like. He starts with six pounds and works up to a 12-pound vest after 12 weeks.<br>  Everybody looks good in shorts, challenged Coach Schmidt,  but what about when you put the pads and helmet on.<br>Coach Schmidt has been coaching for 17 years. I asked him about the differences in athletes over this span of time.  Players have gotten stronger but the big difference is in their speed. Players today are much faster. The high school coaches are doing a better job every year and every year I think they just can t get any bigger but they do.<br> I would advise the high school coach to work his players hard on the Squat, Clean and Speed Development. Be able to watch, see and measure improvement in whatever you decide to work on. Organization is the key.<br> You also lift to prevent injuries. For example, we have two Glute-Ham machines. I feel that exercise is really important and believe it may be the primary reason we have only had one hamstring pull in two years.<br> Look at what is important today. Do today what will make you better tomorrow. Consistency is the key. You have got to stick with it not just get fired up for a couple of weeks and then quit. Make sure you get good rest and excellent nutrition. It all comes down to execution and motivation. Help your players understand the why and how of what you are doing. istants, two student assistants and one volunteer. With that level of help, Batson is able to group his athletes under separate coaches, which allows for greater individuality. But Clemson s commitment to football doesn t stop with quality coaches.<br>Batson says Bowden is pushing hard to get a 10,000-square-foot weightroom completed as soon as possible, one that will cater primarily to football.  We ve got a brand new football complex in the works, says Batson.  When you add that accomplishment to our indoor-turf field, it s a program that you know is only going to get better. <br>Although Batson has made it to the top of his profession, he is realistic when encouraging others to follow in his footsteps.  If you really want to get involved in this profession, you need to sit down with someone who is established in the field and let them tell it to you straight. It s a long, hard road, and I think a lot of guys get into it and don t realize the amount of time they have to put in, says Batson, who often finds himself workin 14-hour days.  It s pretty brutal--you have to have a love for it. That s for sure. <br>The advice Batson gives prospective college football players in regard to their strength program depends upon the high school and the strength program they are coming from.  Some guys come in cleaning and squatting with very good technique, and you always have pretty good bench pressers. What I generally see that needs the most work is overall conditioning, and we often have to elevate their work capacity so they can handle the amount of work they do on the field. <br><br>Training Grrrrrrrreat <br>Tigers!<br><br>Batson is convinced that conditioning was a significant factor in why the team finished strong last year.  We re always going to be a well-conditioned team, says Batson.  In Coach Bowden s philosophy, number oe is conditioning, number two is speed, and number three is strength. This is not to diminish the importance of strength, because strength and speed go together, but Coach Bowden will never sacrifice on or the other for conditioning. This means we have to run our players extremely hard in the summer and do a lot of volume. We have a fast-paced offense, so we need to condition with repeated bouts of intense training with short rest intervals. <br> strength~^WneJ+TP {xkMB22!aƄ Xu(0-mXŒ$+FC$l~2+(B<2P+`c[Qrr79|
