At this time, after two years, we now have 600 students working out during the school day. Add this number to the after-school lifters and the fact that all Notre Dame teams are either on an in-season or an off-season program. We are touching over 800 student/athletes out of 1,150 who attend Notre Dame. During the summer, Donovan s Den is open 8 hours a day. We want our kids lifting at Notre Dame so that we can continually monitor their progress. <br>A Freshman Orientation (3-day lifting camp) is run the end of June. The freshmen then begin a readiness program during the summer. Only when all techniques are mastered are they allowed to move up in weight. One of the greatest accomplishments that Coach McKenna and Coach Moore have achieved is that all this takes place with a family atmosphere. The older athletes watch over the young guys like big brothers and are there to help and encourage. This takes the  fear of the weight room away from freshmen and females.<br><br>UNIFIED SCHOOL <br>& COMMUNITY<br><br>After two years, it s nice to look back and see what the program has done for our school community. First, and most important, it has unified all the sport programs. Coaches who at one point were only interested in students playing their sport, are now working together with other coaches for the student-athletes to be more well rounded. The faculty has picked up on the program, whether it s in the new cardio room (donated by the Donovan family), doing the Tae-Be fitness tapes, or just lifting weights. They have become part of our weight-room family. ingness and those that insist upon using them are seldom good at anything else. <br>Eah year, nearly 100 players choose to live in Columbia during the summer, working out four times per week They also condition three days per week and work on plyometrics. During the season, the travel squad lifts twice per week. Those that don't make the travel squad train basically like the off-season. The weight room is a modern facility of 10,000-square feet which was completed in 1993 but is already undergoing a 3,000-square foot expansion.<br>Don Sommer is in his 11th year at MU and second as the head strength and conditioning coach. Coach Sommer was a four year starter at Texas-El Paso and played for three different pro teams. He holds a master's degree in human performance. Bob Jones is the Associate Strength and Conditioning coach who is in his 12th year at MU. He works basically with the other Tiger sports. Coach Jones holds a master's degree from MU in human performance and sports psychology.<br>Rob started lifting in the 7th grade.  I read about Power Cleans, remembered Rob,  so I did them on my own. Hazelwood West, where I went to high school, is a Jr.-Sr. High school set up, so I lifted with the high school athletes.<br> I started playing football in the 9th grade as a 6-0 220-pound guard. As a senior, I grew to b
