Coach Samson rallied his athletes together to work harder then ever and encouraged every football player to make a total commitment. The players were hungry to win and with a dedicated attitude they went to work. All down-linemen, whether offense or defense, had to be in the weight room at 6:30 a.m. every morning slamming the iron with Coach Samson. If a football player was in a lifting class, he made a commitment to 20% improvement on each of his core lifts. Those not enrolled in a weight training class during the day were able to train after school. They improved their quick foot speed by working the dot drill and leaped in plyometric drills. As each athlete spent time in the weight room and exploded on the core lifts (squats, power cleans, and bench) their strength levels soared to new heights. Each player was taught and coached how to sprint correctly. Coach Samson was dedicated to helping his athletes become fine-tuned fighting machines. <br>During the summer of 1999 the team was together training for battle in the fall. Coach Samson held skill sessions for all backs, receivers and linebackers. Fundraisers, such as car washes and farm work, were done so that the team could attend the Capital High School football camp as well as the Utah State football camp, where they improved individual technique skills. <br>When football practice started in August, the three most important questions had already been answered: 1) Were they stronger from performing the core lifts? 2) Were they faster from working on correct sprint technique, dot drills and plyometrics? 3) Were they committed to having an outstanding year in football? The answer was a confident YES! Capital was cocked and ready to explode into their fall season. They had paid their dues. <br>What was the result of all this dedication and hard work? In the first five games of the season the Capital Bruins had racked up 252 combinedܖ4=\ skSEXGvJN;fH ʒ:ޮ!ʂ:bd2`i pY:g>{YrwtdbCy7=B5Cފfs4t^0 ?Ī~YxN [GrPδb6$H88?ʳ4w>\>xN_Pۉ309PTb4\ahӘh`:@w#N3M+c{#nޙ" PqS7`8tG'1;6IX9u |{s4ËÐ94kPCcpu dB9R܆lu5"B~G3Yۉar*+Z[$c"x^3j0h!V>,#Ⱥz$~Ui&Iᴔy)O\(zD`vLAj(B8PYx'ڠ|`E0"ݎ:Vs7`Q )#57O'yES֠u"}HNϥV*q/S|7;oh{(v#rom 1980 to 1984 I did a combination of free weights and machines but not a lot.&nbsp; We did not have scheduled workouts and stretching was not big but it is now.&nbsp; If I had lifted correctly and known what to do back then I might be playing in the WNBA instead of coaching," she said laughing.</P> <P>At Northeastern Illinois, Coach Taylor did not have a formal strength program in her first year.&nbsp; "We didn't do Squats and Cleans but then I got a strength coach, Ed Lopez, who had a trac background.&nbsp; We did Squats and Cleans from that point.&nbsp; Coach Lopez knew what t
