Coach Leib felt that these wins came against teams that were better than the Warhawks at the beginning of the year, partial proof that in-season BFS work helped improve his team.<br>The baseball team, also with many sophomores and juniors, ended the 2001 season on a sour note, falling short of the District Tournament title, and being eliminated in the first round of the regional playoffs. Angry that their talented, winning team (17-5) had squandered its opportunities, the sophomores and juniors made a strong commitment to each other that the story would be different next year.<br>When asked how their perfect season happened, Coach Gjormand reflected that  this all goes back to the off-season. He continually reminded his players that the off-season was for work, the in-season for fun. And work they did.<br>The Warhawks bought into the BFS program with a vengeance in the summer of 2001. Johnny Ayers, a starter on both the football team and the baseball team, explained,  We re working hard for a reason. It s not just to look good on the beach it s sports-specific training that you know you re doing for Friday night football or Tuesday night baseball. You know it will be there when you need it. Andrew Baird, who would play key roles as a halfback and an outfielder in his junior year, later described the impact BFS had on the players. He saw the weekly successes the athletes experienced in breaking personal records in the BFS program as a confidence builder for each participant. He also believes that the camaraderie generated by working hard together built team cohesiveness that carried over to the season.<br>Coach Gjormand believes that t he can consistently throw long with great accuracy.<br>Although you d think he d have some nervousness in his first game in Division I football, Vick didn t show any signs of it as he introduced himself to the college ranks by running for three touchdowns against James Madison University. In that regard, offensive coordinator Rickey Bustle says that one of Vick s greatest strengths is that he is levelheaded and doesn t let things get to him.<br>Virginia Tech s Mike Gentry, Assistant Athletic Director for Athletic Performance, is especially impressed with Vick s attitud.  The most special thing about Michael Vick is not his outstanding athletic ability but the fact that with all the hoopla surrounding him, he continues to work hard and does not invite special attention. He just wants to be one of the players. <br><br>Weighty Matters<br>When Vick came to VT he had some good numbers in the weightroom for a freshman quarterback. At 195 pounds, he had a 270 bench press, a 34-inch vertical jump, and ran a 4.42 forty (hand timed). Impressive results at any level. After the first year under Coach Gentry s direction, Vick added 50 pounds to his bench, four inches to his vertical, and dropped his forty time to 4.33. Those numbers have taken another a big jump in the off-season. Since coming to Virginia Tech, Vick has added 17 pounds of muscle, can bench 340, squat 515, power clean 280, push jerk 310, vertical jump 41 inches and run a 4.25 forty.<br>Although some strength coaches have a conservative weight training program for their skill players, especially starting quarterbacks such as Vick, Coach Gentry doesn t believe in drastically changing his training for his skill athletes.  We don t train our quarterbacks any differently, says Gentry.  The most important thing for developing  short speed is leg strength. <br>Just as Vick was able to ease into the football program, Coach Gentry has designed a program that gets his players ready for some serious lifting.
