I feel that what we do in the off-season is a key ingredient in the success that we've had over the last several years."<br><br>Big State, Big Numbers<br><br>For football, Dicus's favorite lifts include the power clean, push press, back and front squats, lunges, bench and incline press, and the military press. "Those are our core lifts that we are going to make sure we hit heavy, and then we add more specific lifts." The result of such a sound training system is that last year three football players power cleaned 300 and twelve did at least 250, two squatted over 600 and six did over 500, and two benched over 400 and seven did over 300.<br><br>Although the deadlift is a part of his program, Dicus prefers to emphasize the power clean and has no reservations about teaching it to kids and encouraging other coaches to try it. Furthermore, he believes that the critics of the lift are those who simply do not know how to teach it. "I think that's a lot of it, but that's one of the things that we've been able to do here which has put us ahead of a lot of programs. It's not that we just go out and do the power clean. We take our time teaching it, breaking down the lift into phases. We start with the deadlift, then work on the high pull and then the rack position. You've got to break it down." As an added incentive to put forth 100 percent in the weight room, every May the coaches put on what Dicus calls a "strength show" with the football team. "We do all of our testing on stage in the auditorium for the high school student body and the community. We put the spotlights on them and blare the music it's just unbelievable. Last year about 700 fans came to watch."<br><br>Concerning injuries, Dicus says, "We have been blessed. Over the last several years we haven't had any injuries in the weight room. Also, because our depth is very minimal, in our practices we don't do any tackling where we're going to take them to the ground."<br><br>Although other athletes use the weight room, Dicus says all the workouts are designed along similar lines. "It goes along with Greg's philosophy of training the core lifts, and adding auxiliary lifts that are specific to each sporhigh school. If you were really my friend, you would never ask me to do that. If I did, my mom would have killed me.<br> My mother taught me many lessons. She was my inspiration and means everything in the world to me. She raised my two brothers and my sister by herself, while most of the time working two jobs. She taught me a lot about hard work and the Bible. I love my mother to death and she is the most important person in my life.<br> My Grandma told me to dream big and when she died on my 17th birthday that really helped me to focus and change. I pursued lofty goals from then on. I really believe in dreaming big. My family and my belief in God are the most important parts of my life. I believe it is important to be willing to live a Christian manhood like life. I also want that for my friends and teammates. <br>Corey remains politically active with his fraternity. He is involved in various activities and is a representative in several school councils. He plans to finish his degree in finance by his senior year and then go to law school. Presently, Corey is looking into a career as a football sports agent, however,  It is not a primary goal. If it happens, I will step up to the plate. But, it is always going to be law school first and then sports agent. <br>Once again, many thanks to Mike Gentry for sharing Corey s inspiring story.<br><br>_______________________<br><br> Surround yourself with people who care about you, set high goals and live your dream.
