Non-conference opponents include some of the biggest names in college baseball. The University has remodeled its weight room and strength and conditioning coach John White said,  The new weight room expands our training capabilities tremendously. This demonstrates the desire of USF athletes to step to the fore front of strength and conditioning. <br>Tag believes he would be nowhere near where he is today without a strength and conditioning program.  When I go into the weight room, says Tag,  I go in with an attitude of getting better every time. That helps mentally and physically. You have to be disciplined to lift and that in itself is an important carry over. <br> You ear a lot about weights screwing up your skills but stretching is huge. I've lifted probably as consistently as anyone who's played the game and because of my flexibility program, I have never felt tight. But, I have seen guys on steroids get tight or guys that don't stretch get tight. <br>Tag had a big rookie season for the Dons earning honorable mention Freshman All-American an all-WCC honors. He hit .326 with four homers and 50 RBI and closed the year with a season-high 15-game hitting streak. Tag was the only USF player to start all 58 games and set a new school record with 456 defensive putouts.<br>However, no one could have predicted what was to happen the following year. The media guide stated that Tag was expected to be a major part of the Don's formula for success in 1999 both at the plate and on the mound. Yes, he pitched a little on the side. But, several other returning starters were given top billing. Tag was not slated to be the main attraction. What made the difference?<br>Bob Bozied had a motivational sign at Arvada High School that meant a lot to his son Tag.  It has become my favorite saying. My dad gave me permission to use it here at USF. I put it up in the locker room. I touch it every time I o to workout.<br><br> If you want something<br>you've never had,<br>You must be willing to do <br>something you've never done. <br><br> Last year preparation became a huge deal. My written goal was to be an All-American. It was quite a stretch from the results of my freshman year. Those words on the sign were very special and meaningful to me. <br>Tag's plan for the upcoming season is to take away pressure on himself to hit so may home runs.  But I will prepare even harder, says Tag.  The goal is what can I do every inning of every game to help my team win. Last year my team went 22-33-1 and that did not sit well with me. Winning for the team is what's most important. <br>Inside Tag's hat and batting helmet he always writes,  You are prepared. <br> You get out of something what you put into it, says Tag.  Success comes through preparation. Don't wait just to let s
