He has never mj9s d a workout and the only practice that he has ever missed was due to food poisoning last August when he lost 10 pounds.  I don t like missing things, said Jim.  I try to tr_; y assignments in early. This attention to detail has resulted in a 3.0 GPA as he works toward a Masters Degree in Counseling Education. Jim also has a relentless method of preparing for a football game.  It starts onMonday morning at 7 a.m., watching film9 ach day, Monday through Friday, we have meetings at 2 p.m. After practice, usually for about 30 minutes, I sit down with the coache9a d discuss game plans and watch film. Depending on how comfortable I feel about the opponent, I watch film on Wednesday nights from about midnight to 2 a.m. This gives me a chance to focus on the opponent without having distractions. Throughout the week, I use mental imagery to focus on how I would react to an unusual situation or make the big ply to win the game. I am a player who likes to practice and be prepared for each game. Game day is no different from anyother day during the we|;. I just think of it as another practice. <br>Jim believes that nega9v s li9 rugs and alcohol is stuff that gets in your way.  It holds you back. I advise people to be their own person. You are responsible for yourself. If you listen to other people on negatives, you won t go far. <br>The weightroom is a place where Jim develops and demonstrates leadership. He states,  A quarterback needs to be in the weightroom more that anyone else. Everybody says it is freaky for a quarterback to be in the weightroom like I am but I know every opponent wants to beat me up. I have to thank Mike Gentry. He is the number one strength coach in the country99 herever I go I would want Coach Gentry to be there. He is the heart and soul or our program. Coach Gentry is almos[9a God in my book. Maybe I shouldn t say it like that, but I respect him at the highest level. <br>We at BFS thank bot ;Mke Gentry and Jim Druckenmiller for this article. They are both Upper Limit people of the highest order.<br>Virginia Tech Strength Program<br>Under the direction of Mike Gentry, the strength and conditioning program has become a major partof the success of Virginia Tech Football, Resulting in three consecutive bowl appearances.
