Jesseca came to practice every day ready to lift, ready to throw, and to do all the things necessary--she took care of all the little details, such as being conscientious about her diet and getting enough sleep. And I think it's those little extra things that can make the difference between being a champion and being almost a champion.<br><br>BFS: Jesseca is now a grad assistant and will be working with your team this season. What are your expectations from her as a coach?<br><br>LJ: I think the best coaches are those that things didn't come easy for, and she's worked hard for everything she's accomplished. And having carried a 3.8 GPA, she's a great role model for someone entering our program.<br><br>BFS: Kevin Mannon followed you from the University of South Carolina. Has he lived up to your expectations?<br><br>LJ: The biggest story about Kevin is the incredible improvements he made in college. Kevin was not a highly recruited athlete in high school and received only a partial college scholarship. But he went from being a mediocre high school athlete to being a nine-time All-American. Very few athletes in the country have made All-American that many times, and he still has one more year! <br><br>BFS: What are Kevin's best results in the weightroom?<br><br>LJ: He's got a 500 bench, 650 squat and a 380 power clean. <br><br>BFS: Some coaches believe that explosive lifts such as the power clean are dangerous. How to you respond to this?<br><br>LJ: In all my years of coaching I've never had anyone get injured doing a power clean or snatch! I think the coaches who believe these lifts are dangerous are the ones who don't know how to teach them. Honestly, I believe that explosive lifts are injury preventors because they prepare the body for the kind of shock it's going to get when taking a jolt or a hit.<br><br>BFS: In regard to specificity of training, how many elite-level throwers do you know who do not use thelace or anything that will create mediocrity or negativity. Conrad refuses to associate in a drug, alcohol or tobacco situation. <br>Conrad always gives out his cell phone number and offers to drive others home. He warns,  Don t drive with alcohol in you. When you keep saying  no to alcohol people start respecting you and eventually they just stop asking. There is always other things to do like going to the movies, etc. I also believe part of leadership is being JRy#`"#oUxOڮx~//567{· ݿI:YH[Vn}{#.=`iŷywIz2vm PƀWo4!#GY* ]LJ;aTF?In February 2001 tragedy struck again, and this time Jackie lost her battle with cancer. There would be no football for Brooks this year.  When Jackie passed away I just really wasn t 100 percent focused on football, says Brooks. When he was eventually able to handle his irreparable loss, Brooks knew he had a lot of work to do if he was to play again. He needed to get back in shape, and he needed to do it quickly.<br>The Poliquin Factor<br><br>Through his brother Fletcher, who is now a track and strength coach at Williams College, Brooks learned about Charles Poliquin, co-owner of the Poliquin Performance Center in Tempe, Arizona.
