I know that it takes more at times to challenge the limits of the mind.</P> <P align=left>The story of the inception of Delta Force, the elite military force started by Colonel Charles Beck which serves as a great example of the development of mental strength&nbsp; through physical stress.&nbsp; A group of soldiers overcame great physical challenges to become part of that unit.&nbsp; They were given progressively more difficult missions over mountainous terrain which weeded out those with marginal commitment.</P> <P align=left>Obviously, we aren't going to ask our players to be subjected to that type of stress, but we can ask them to withstand specific physical challenges that strengthen the will to presevere when extreme physical stress occurs in a game situation.&nbsp; If you don't have great depth in your roster, you may need eleven marines on both sides of the ball to get you through a season.</P> <P align=left>Once a week, in our summer program we run 300s.&nbsp; We usually run up to five to six reps with 30 second rest periods.&nbsp; Last summer a group of our skill players decided they wanted to push to 10 x 300 with the same rest period and run them in .55.&nbsp; They wanted to establish the "Ironman" award for anyone who achieved that level.&nbsp; We also established standards for the other position groups.&nbsp; This summer we had 46 "Ironmen".&nbsp; This achievement was not mandatory, it was a matter of personal pride and team unity.</P> <P align=left>If you pick up any of the works of Zig Ziglar you will quickly recognize the importance of establishing high levels of self-image with any group of people who have a common set of goals.&nbsp; In his words "Expanding self image expands the possible".&nbsp; I have to believe that knowing that you are very highly conditioned provides great self confidence during the course of a competitive event.</P> <P align=center><STRONG>The Power Of A Collaborative Pre-Game Strategy</STRONG></P> <P align=left>Strength coaches are all aware that their effectiveness is directly related to the support they receive from the head man.&nbsp; On the other hand, I know in our program that I can be an effective asset to the head coach in acting as an extension of his beliefs and goals for the team.&nbsp; Many strength coaches enter a state of isolation once the season starts.&nbsp; The offense meets, the defense meets, you wait.&nbsp; Stretch, condition and "get back" can be unfulfilling after a summer of intense involvement with ninety players.</P> <P align=left>At ECU we've developed a three prong approach to building up our players mentally for a game.&nbsp; Head Coach Steve Logan, offensive coordinator Doug Martin and myself develop a theme for each game.&nbsp; Some examples of topics from previous years included The Player-Coach Relationship, Destroying Discouragement, Unleash Your Personal Power, Preparation of the Heart, The Value of Killer Instinct, etc.</P> <P align=left>After we choose a to>>=1ːKRFKSn6E{,oO~ 8TFGpee^\܌h~U*Vun0L_T#P]ߥ-2#ܕkqsB>#_ {hbzܓNƸouvLF;alInIcJspnj)ulJ.4v6?؜/exR6 rcJ:Hױ2rzkO{o.+\4u۽8?l}wkY-sݨ>5Xz~^AzFj ma=PQte4$w&Z6?;6qa'ѨƤ~]B#>3692Ń$}};BI" :7o7c+& d 18bl'jlCa;<:Htdzt^U{bmb 8᷆1b)0Yw|)#)0z %@zTo\p,k`ŋ߾5ŢY#<7)3+K)E:m/)0(" (;C~$Y\XbC HX`Z{7Jrt?O`oCs Cf{OLqIgS3gӗ>hՌ[\ZKZJcv~9+< Ґ~ˑ9C m|I߾_,7!\n窤"ߴ`;3O tg'Z6s RKpֲ:բ;2aPOpvO~G54q(9 *[>L3Bh-.D,>r?YI cݎuKX䳖 u  3\A=]xHG%'ߘa8LDֈQ oj@BwH;zNE Ȭf=2FLGs2{{ @7I:,i8Gl<'f7[o5ГNr'޻׀TsKO{o;Y;1>jʍ #qGF2N ؎џ9.Cc|;r,|HWuowvn z`%vXø7/=LuxTt#sC{MrOB^8L)ڸ^eWҝ9|=f&!CrFPzؼs}̌YcMɧ&~G`:)N>WО;cء|H׾8>l!YWS8lb^hAě8l/gkѝ~G䬅8ڝ\5躎^[`rb2/OGW7G^$0Z^/S.> IHPnyWoE^=Jnr|ك|fpԫĎ qsf
