"I would like to work in the accounting field and go straight into business," said Adrian. Those are his plans after finishing college and after pro football. I asked him if he wasn't too short to play at the pro level. Adrian looked me straight in the eye and then laughed, "No."&nbsp;</P> <P>Adrian redshirted in his first year and then lettered at defensive tackle during the next two years. This year, as a junior, he is an all-Southern Conference Candidate. The Southern Conference is entering into its 76th year and is composed of the following schools: Tennessee State, Furman, Georgia Southern, Marshall, UT-Chattanooga, Virginia Military Institute, Western Carolina and the Citadel. The expansion of three additional schools are planned soon.&nbsp;</P> <P>Adrian is on line to graduate in four years and then he will work on an MBA (Masters Program) during his fifth year of eligibility.&nbsp;</P> <P>To prepare for games, Adrian concentrates totally about crushing his opponent. "I sit quietly," said Adrian. "I visualize throwing my opponent into the backfield and running down the ball carrier. My attitude is that no one can stop me." The first game of the season was played against Miami in the Orange Bowl. Adrian said before the game, "Miami is like a regular team to me. I will not be intimidated."&nbsp;</P> <P>Adrian believes the key to lifting a big weight is technique. "I don't go crazy. &nbsp;I visualize going through the lift. Our coaches stress being under control emotionally. They want us psyched but controlled. I like a challenge when people say that I can't do something, it makes me work harder to prove them wrong."&nbsp;</P> <P>The number one goal at the Citadel is to keep together and to work hard in practice. Coach Peal explained, "Our goals are centered around the <U>process</U> of work. If we work hard, then the end goals will take care of themselves."&nbsp;</P> <P>Adrian uses a lot of hard work to be successful and adds, "Don't let friends intervene in your goals. Never take a step backwards. Always go forward. Stay with the books. Do it academically first. Then do athletics if you want."&nbsp;</P> <P>The Citadel has a zero tolerance policy on drugs, and alcohol is not allowed on campus. Adrian confided, "The kids I hung around with in high school were non-drinkers so peer pressure was never a problem. In high school I never had a drink and never had anything to do with drugs. I believe you should be your own person."&nbsp;</P> <P>Adrian sees himself married with a couple of kids with a steady job in accounting as his future. He will try pro-football, and powerlifting after the Citadel but his family and family values will always remain the most important aspect of life.&nbsp;</P> <P>We thank Adrian and Coach Peal for sharing their story. They are true Upper Limit people.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</P>s power clean by 60 pounds and his squat by 75 pounds last year.  After a discussion with clinician Bobby Poss, I began holding a fitness competition in May that tests athletes on the bench press, parallel squat, NFL shuttle, 40-yard sprint, and the Smyrna shuttle [a 300-yard shuttle, broken down into 30-yard sprints]. The athletes received points for the weights lifted and fastest running times. This year the best performance was by Thomas Wright, followed by Justin Ritter and Andre Mears. <br>Although Smyrna had no state championship teams this year, Lloyd says he is expecting great things from the athletes who will be on the BFS program throughout their entire high school terms. Indeed, the Smyrna Eagles have already transformed themselves into state-caliber competitors ready to soar high. Fk`_kStzxo |n1mƵTvP+E^ͥ q,`95Gim"`LK눎ק=\Y.57W a&]>ơ
