There s no half-assin in my book. You go full tilt. I achieved this level because of my work ethic and dedication. I like to work hard and give 110 percent in everything, whether it be football or academics. All of it is the same to me. I strive to become the best at everything. After sitting out for my first two years at Tech, I became frustrated and took aggression out in the weight room by working hard to get to tis level. Going in the weight room each day and lifting was a natural activity to me. <br>Jim s lifts improved this year to a 350 Bench, a 500 Squat, a 405 Hang Clean and a 331 Push Jerk. He has never missed a workout and the only practice that he has ever missed was due to food poisoning last August when he lost 10 pound.  I don t like missing things, said Jim.  I try to trun my assignments in early. This attention to detail has resulted in a 3.0 GPA as he works toward a Masters Degree in Counseling Education. Jim also has a relentless method of preparing for a football game.  It starts on Monday morning at 7 a.m., watching film. Each day, Monday through Friday, we have meetings at 2 p.m. After practice, usually for about 30 minutes, I sit down with the coaches and discuss game plans and watch film. Depending on how comfortable I feel about the opponent, I watch film on Wednesday nights from about midnight to 2 a.m. This gives me a chanc to focus on the opponent without having distractions. Throughout the week, I use mental imagery to focus on how I would react to an unusual situation or make the big ply to win the game. I am a player who likes to practice and be prepared for each game. Game day is no different from any other day during the week. I just think of it as another practice. <br>Jim believes that negatives like drugs and alcohol is stuff that gets in your way.  It holds you back. I advise people to be their own person. You are responsible for yourself. If you listen to other people on negatives, you won t go far. <br>The weightroom is a place where Jim develops and demonstrates leadership. He states,  A quarterback needs to be in the weightroom more that anyone else. Everybody says it is freaky for a quarterback to be in the weightroom like I am but I know every opponent wants to beat me up. I have to thank Mike Gentry. He is the number one strength coach in the country. Wherever I go I would want Coach Gentry to be there. He is the heart and soul or our program. Coach Gentry is almost a God in my book. Maybe I shouldn t say it like that, but I respect him at the highest level. <br>We at BFS thank both Mike Gentry and Jim Druckenmiller for this article. They are both Upper Limit people of the highest order.<br>Virginia Tech Strength Program<br>Under the direction of Mike Gentry, the strength and conditioning program has become a major part of the success of Virginia Tech Football, Resulting in three consecutive bowl appearances.  We have a team dedicated to training hard and striving for excellence, said Gentry, now in his 10th year. The younger student-athletes see the uppercleassmen s intensity and it makes everyone want to train to be one s best<br> Our program is designed to help our players build overall strength and endurance, while helping them develop self-discipline and realize their potential. We have a comprehensive program utilizing strength/power train!!ե}lݍ^ȗx%@W  K^\|c%ZHyF~^$#&ѩ䣀װf|B{Ok|TƻcB",( wh{VLh ۵ݭG XSYkpi $5OԵi[c|-#?vX\L>Q5YRJ Ff7a#фkī8H.&WdȪI$[~HwSm(Ȁib^}tUTܰ"mj8 ' #fn[',0G·"⡗ӕ҄Y/؞iEPn55+\ %ږջ[1nD)fgqf QUSk(:qTzN҆ %RirW"ty޺˃-$c4C+]5&-﬋Ja-J۹Zդz#}XGei &%)O?͍6;uT9\bgYźT_PX1/bV2AFVG` n6[Z@Lts")L!z˲<%ǔC.v+O>N<2g<"j>vۋ;oIIL cͻ x븯_=ۇv3f aĚ*|ƽ1Xƚ6A[^A61~jQbrD{\HuxiRHȑF,}?z dSk+MgVZƧlޅU D__d_]?Cᔑl@xʇg3m'i]BA}5$jRൺ2=_a~L)0u,fG]bA][ݯ$+D䮠moOĴsa9iJckh ^5a|  r5dxɋ3P."E2Gu* c1'g3:L1rds ޶5Ұ.<Ǎ<ٚOnyZKz䴕[j )$_cjo۵6b5-?t(oޢn?%Y%xtKa E8v-MpH&"EM}T$&.=<HMv!މ5iPX\~Jt/'X!H[I7e ߻ߩ( Ec{`uE_ٙ1'`PL}XǤ߭32A!x"Aw*p xd[I`Xpj(N3XxYCYw26LLh\.*6HT_=[G櫜?na(?a!7jfQltO[-Q@O c%C'fmٷRjcY3HkF#x:&'sԐc ?DS fZ͕PGжԓ-d6/n:ZUZ"M*.൬(nJ78*FnjlcHc v9rݾ+UcM_ @?U%?`WSWVWP> ko+5|"0s!Ѿ<E%UeCltj39Cw]Rl\D $_Ɨ=®tӕs]`#(c< R0@=uw}WŊwRG<MFB1 m[YXb*t Ǎ]EoB2_([F _g&[MlBqXq죱T7h'ZRGM{z m,ۭm -~g ׳e
