In fact, they've only had one knee injury within the last ten years, and it happened on the practice field to a player who had transferred from another school. "I think a lot of this has to do with our strength program. Our kids are real strong, and that takes us through the season." As for weightroom injuries, Stanford can recall only one--an injured finger. That was in 1986.<br><br>Best of the Best<br><br>Much of the nuts-and-bolts coaching in the weightroom is handled by John Mullins and Wayne Jones. Mullins is a health teacher, and Jones teaches biology and driver's education. In describing their coaching styles, Stanford says Coach Mullins is "mellow" and Coach Jones is "excitable," and their contrasting personalities have brought out the best in his players. The core lifts the football team uses at Louisville are the squat, power clean, and the bench and incline press. Stanford says he likes the incline press because "it feels like a natural movement for football." <br>To foster continual results, Stanford encourages his players to compete in high school powerlifting competitions during the off-season. "It gives them something else to look forward to; instead of just lifting weights for football, now they're lifting for some type of competition."<br> Like most successful coaches, Stanford stresses the importance of teamwork and sharing the credit for every win with every player. However, he is proud of the fact that several players are considered candidates for scholarships. "We've got two players I know are going to be recruited heavily: Michael Goss, a wide receiver and running back; and Emmitt Ellis, a defensive end."<br>Weighing 185, Goss benches 320, squats 385, deadlifts 485 and runs a 4.5 forty. Last year he caught 34 passes for 1,004 yards, scored 17 touchdowns, and rushed 30 times for 420 yards. "Michael is probably the best athlete in the school. He also plays baseball, and probably will be drafted by the major leagues after his senior year."<br>Weighing 260, Ellis benches 340, squats 450, power cleans 250, runs a 5.2 forty, and last year was responsible for 102 tackles. "Emmitt uses his hands probably as good as anybody I've ever seen. He also has good upper body strength on the field. He works hard in the weightroom, but he's definitely got a lot of natural ability."<br>Also of note in the weightroom is defensive tackle Elliot Carter, their strongest player according to Stanford. At 5-foot-ten and 250 pounds, Carter benches 360, squats 500 and deadlifts 485.<br><br>Continuing the Tradition<br><br>If there's one thing Stanford would change about his weight program, it is the size of his weightroom.

Use the same technique as when the dowel was used. Concentrate on jumping just as you would do a vertical jump. If it does not look exactly like a vertical jump, then you have done it wrong. It's that simple! Flat out simple. do not underestimate this point. This is where even Division One athlet
