Strength and agility are the hallmarks of this team. According to the coaching staff, a better group of guys cannot be found.  These guys deserve any and all praise that they receive, stated Coach Tony Long.  They have worked harder than hard and are still reaching for the stars. No team could be consistently successful without a coaching staff that cares more about their players than the game. The players say that they are tethered together and consider themselves more than a team they are a family. r you play, the more important your strength program becomes. <br>One special way Herron helps motivate his players is to offer a football camp in the summer. The players go to Epworth by the Seas on St. Simmons Island, a Christian retreat in southeast Georgia on the banks of the historic Frederica River.  It s basically a church camp, says Herron.  We took the kids there to get them away from the town and get a chance to bond as a team. We still work them hard on the field, but there are a lot of fun activities and the kids really get to know each other. <br>In the weightroom, Herron follows a BFS program. Because of the technical nature and importance of the power clean to his program, Herron insists on having his athletes learn the lift as soon as they enter his program, and he even encourages athletes at the middle school level to learn it.  We have the BFS training platesso the bar sits up there where it s supposed to, and we videotape them performing the lift, says Herron.  We really emphsize technique with young athletes; we don t try to put too much weight on them. I ve got some great assistant coaches, and they re very good at teaching the lift. Our program is also about kids helping kids too-those who perform the lift well help teach. <br>With his proven football coaching system and a BFS strength training program in place, Herron is set to achieve his ultimate goal of winning a state championship. Although the team may not break many passing records in the process, when it comes to football strength, Herron s players are the fittest  cats around.<br><br><br> We have the BFS training plates so the bar sits up there where it s supposed to, and we videotape them performing the lift, says Herron.

He states,  A quarterback needs to be in the weightroom more that anyone else. Everybody says it is freaky for a quarterback to be in the weightroom like I am but I know every opponent wants to beat me up. I have to thank Mike Gentry. He is the number one strength coacd my vertical jumping ability and also helped polish the footwork I need before diving to make a save.&nbsp; I found that the biggest thing I gained from speed, strength and conditioning was the increase in my self image.&nbsp; Being stronger and faster, I found that I had a new level of confidence.&nbsp; This confidence is especially important for a goalkeeper, because the rest of the team can feed off of a goalkeepers' play and intensity."<BR><STRONG>--Brad Barnes, SMS Soccer, Senior Goaltender</STRONG></P> <P align=left>"Strength training is one of the most important factors for our style of play and is essential for building a program.&nbsp; In order for our program to compete on a national level our strength and conditioning program is an essential ingredient.&nbsp; Our strength and conditioning program has pushed our players to maximize their strength levels but has also increased vertical jumps and explosiveness in power and athleticism.&nbsp; Our style of play, especially defensively, and the strength and condition A#;)jO;o'b9JTbY}IfXZleb;UV4Rrv'8̥U@P; H ldN6?
