And that is exactly what Tom has been doing. His 40 went from a 4.65 to a 4.47 and his vertical jump from 32 inches to 34 inches. Tom knows that the difference in being an effective linebacker that he could make by going from a 350 power clean to 380 is not nearly as good as going from 4.65 to 4.47 in the forty. Plus, the strain on the body and chance of injury is always something to consider at that level of strength. <br>Tom believes there is no substitute for hard work.  You have to set goals every day, Tom advises.  There are a lot of people with talent, but to rise above the pack you need to be disciplined and consistent. Coach Ekmark has inspired me to be thankful and not take things for granted. I hope and pray I will make the most of life. My parents have helped me to stay humble and to handle adversity. <br>As for drugs and alcohol, Tom is totally against them for teens and athletes. It was a wonderful thing for Tom to be able to look me straight in the eye and declare in all truthfulness that he had never had one drop of alcohol or gone near an illegal drug.  Taking drugs and drinking alcohol are not good decisions, confirms Tom.  Not even a little bit. If you do something illegal long enough, you are going to get caught. I will never do it. I want to surround myself with good people and, thankfully, I have been in a good environment. <br>Whenever an athlete like Tom has extraordinary strength, the question of steroids invariably comes up.  Steroids have never been an option, says Tom.  I never even think about it. If you think you need steroids, you are thinking and training wrong. Nothing could ever make me take steroids. <br> The Be An Eleven concept is important here at Park High School . . . to be a great individual in all areas like athletics, school, family and community, says Tom.  To me, it is going the extra step to stand out. Spirtual values are also important. It also became known to me that Tom prays ever. When you are out of control, you make mistakes or you can get thrown out of a game. This obviously contributes to losing, not winning. A football player has a lot to think about to be successful during any play. On offense it starts with correct alignment and the snap count. On defense it starts with recognizing the formation and certain tendencies. A baseball player with uncontrolled aggressiveness will strike out. Crazy doesn t cut it.<br>Hey, if I ve spent hundreds of hours training with natural intensity, and then someone tries to take my position from me or to take away my win from me, they re going to be in for one heck of a fight. I don t need steroids for aggressiveness. I ve paid my dues.<br>Did Jose Canseco experience these side effects?<br>First, let s look at his propensity to strike out. Although in 1988 he seemed to be learning to select his pitches more carefully, by the 1990s his strikeouts were more frequent than ever. Consider this: Was he overly aggressive? Was he often mad at the plate instead of relaxed and confident? From his behavior I believe there is a strong possibility that steroids contributed to Jose s dismal strikeout record.<br>Second, Jose has always been outspoken. He clashed with the Oakland management and was frequently kept on the bench. Finally, Jose was traded to the Texas Rangers during the 1992 season. From then on, he was traded every two years. Stability is a component of long-term success both in a career and in family life. Jose was married and has a daughter. I believe the constant moving from one part of the nation to the other played a role in Jose s decline, from both an athletic and a family point of view.<br>Third, and most telling, are three documented incidents of violence. In 1992, Jose was charged ITAL HIGH SCHOOL
