They have CEO alumni galore, giants like Charlton Heston, in the entertainment industry as alums and their medical, math and science departments are replete with achivements which have had a world-wide impact.<br>Coach Barnett remembered those first recruiting days,  When I got here there were only three players who had been offered another Division I Scholarship. It was difficult because many recruits would say,  I just came by as a courtesy. The physical conditioning was going to have to play a big part. Athletic facilities on campus were improved including a 5,000 square foot weight room, a 125 seat auditorium for team gatherings and film viewing, two spacious meeting areas and new offices for all the football coaches.<br>Coach Barnett made an important decision,  We re just going  grow a team  . Meaning no quick fixes but a development program to eventually play fourth and fifth year players instead of freshmen. <br>The results were players like fifth year senior center, Rob Johnson, who gained 61 pounds in five years. The Northwestern offensive line in 1992 averaged 264 pounds while last season they averaged 287 pounds. Rob reflected,  I d spend 20 to 25 hours a week in the weight room and eat until I was sick. <br>It is interesting to note that Northwestern has not been able to recruit a Parade High School All-Americans. Michigan got 10 Penn State 7 and Michigan State signed 6 players. Their #1 strength and conditioning goal is to prevent injuries while northwestern had to grow and develop their players to compete.<br>Coach Barnett explained,  When I got here, I saw how these kids got barraged by negative stuff. That s why we started taking these kids to Kenosha before the season. We could plant the seeds that we wanted planted, fertilize and bring it along before they had to come back on campus. <br>The first year of Barnett s grand experiment produced an unmiraculous 3-8 season. The next season saw the Wildcats slip to a two win season then up to a 3-7-1 effort in 1994. However, the scores were closer and ther were victories over Boston College and Air Force. The Wildcats also recorded back-to-back road wins over Minnesota and Indiana.<br>As the miracle season approached, Coach Barnett pondered about how to take his team to the next level. Your kids have to believe in the vision, he preached,  so it s all one heartbeat coming at em. A new slogan was embraced: Belief Without Evidence. The 11-day pre-season training cam>Implement</U> correctly. At the high school level, possibly over half of the baseball players will play more than one sport. Things work much better if all coaches at a particular school are on the same page. Only about one percent of our nation's high schools are on a true unified strength and conditioning system. We need to beif an athlete is ever going to reach his potential.&nbsp;</P> <P>The football coach says one thing, the basketball coach something else and the baseball coach yet another. The average high school, for example, has seven different flexibility programs or philosophies floating around the high school. No wonder kids are confused.&nbsp;</P> <P>What is the best way to get an athlete to run faster? We don't care if he's running for a touchdown, executing a fast break or stealing a base. Whatever gets us from point "A" to point "B" the fastest is what we all should be doing! Whatever gets us to jump the highest in the quickestuq0 0 t explosive way is what we all should be doing!&nbsp;</P> <P>If I were a baseball coach, I would do Power Cleans, Squats and everything else as described.
