PLYOMETRICS:</STRONG></DIV> <DIV align=center>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV align=left>There are three levels of ploymetrics that help jumping power.&nbsp;First is lower level drills of skipping, hopping and jumping drills with no accessory apparatus.&nbsp; Second is medium level drills using some form of apparatus, starting and ending with feet on the ground.&nbsp; The third level is Plyometric Box Jumping.&nbsp; We start with low intensity Box Jumping drills that&nbsp;any high school athlete can perform.&nbp; Our drills increase in intensity and skill but over half of our nation's high school&nbsp;athletes can complete all of our drills in the first week.&nbsp; </DIV> <DIV align=left>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV align=left>At BFS clinics where Plyometric Box Jumping is included, we select about ten athletes to demonstrate.&nbsp; We always try to choose a wide variety of size and skill in these athletes.&nbsp; They stretch well and then give each athlete three Vertical Jump attempts on our "Just Jump" measuring device and three&nbsp;Standing Long Jumps.&nbsp; These attempts are recorded.&nbsp; Next, the ten athletes go thro over. <br> You hear a lot about weights screwing up your skills but stretching is huge. I've lifted probably as consistently as anyone who's played the game and because of my flexibility program, I have never felt tight. But, I have seen guys on steroids get tight or guys that don't stretch get tight. <br>Tag had a big rookie season for the Dons earning honorable mention Freshman All-American an all-WCC honors. He hit .326 with four homers and 50 RBI and closed the year with a season-high 15-game hitting streak. Tag was the only USF player to start all 58 games and set a new school record with 456 defensive putouts.<br>However, no one could have predicted what was to happen the following year. The media guide stated that Tag was expected to be a major part of the Don's formula for success in 1999 both at the plate and on the mound. Yes, he pitched a little on the side. But, several other returning starters were given top billing. Tag was not slated to be the main attraction. What made the difference?<br>Bob Bozied had a motivational sign at Arvada High School that meant a lot to his son Tag.  It has become my favorite saying. My dad gave me permission to use it here at USF. I put it up in the locker room. I touch it every time I go to workout.<br><br> If you want something<br>you've never had,<br>You must be willing to do <br>something you've never done. <br><br> Last year preparation became a huge deal. My written goal was to be an All-American. It was quite a stretch from the results of my freshman year. Those words on the sign were very special and meaningful to me. <br>Tag's plan for the upcoming season is to take away pressure on himself to hit so may home runs.  But I will prepare even harder, says Tag.  The goal is what can I do every inning of every game to help my team win. Last year my team went 22-33-1 and that did not sit well with me. Winning for the team is what's most important. <br>Inside Tag's hat and batting helmet he always writes,  You are prepared. <br> You get out of something what you put into it, says Tag.  Success comes through preparation. Don't wait just to let something great happen. Prepare to make it happen. <br>Tag never had a drop of alcohol in high school and, of course, the same was true with drugs.  My mom would kill me, says Tag,  if I chewed, so I never have! In college it has been the same story. I have not even had a soda in over 8 yea
