This demonstrates the desire of USF athletes to step to the fore front of strength an conditioning. <br>Tag believes he would be nowhere near where he is today without a strength and conditioning program.  When I go into the weight room, says Tag,  I go in with an attitude of getting better every time. That helps mentally and physically. You have to be disciplined to lift and that in itself is an important carry 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 permissio to use it here at USF. I put it up in the locker room. I touch it every time I go to wach. To see twenty five freshmen and twenty five sophomores in the weight room lifting is great. <br>During the summer Coach Calcagno has two classes in the weight room, one in the morning and another in the afternoon. The kids have the option to attend either one. Three days a week are spent working on the weights and two days are spent working on plyometrics. There are about 120 kids who attend throughout the day.<br>The Pirates have a motivational weight lifting program called the  Pirate Power System . On this system, all athletes who total over 750 lbs. (by adding the Squat, Bench and Clean) receive a Pirate Power System T-shirt. Athletes that weigh under 150 lbs. follow a special formula to calculate their body weight to determine their eligibility for a T-shirt. For every 100 lbs. over 750, athletes receive a different colored T-shirt. When they reach over 1000 lbs. they receive a sweat suit and plaque. This helps motivate kids to reach their upper limit in the weight room. In the past, San Leandro never had a 1000 lb lifter. After two years of implementing the BFS program, they have five Varsity football players who total over 1,000 lbs. and soon to be seven. More than ten players can Power Clean over 250 lbs. Prior to 1998 they had one athlete in three season who could clean 250. <br>Before the new coaching staff came to San Leandro High, there had not been a scholarship football player in 12 years. Since the new staff has been there and the team ha been lifting the BFS way, the Pirates have had three scholarships with ten current players being heavily recruited. ength coaches use the methods I learned from George in one form or another. The remaining five percent focus on a different approach, with injury prevention as the pr~n'"9!te~ޞόMuPP7I#:C/2#"FRbs 7saxLrsNQ/"pdV؈gOOYzO#uR/$np4Fm|j M,bEYϨ}˝"Z}y!eC ʴz'M kx*sO#dzCzDa(czu|/-^ذC ]N98ӫ }kɺ).uu+f{ZACHXiS{_[Hdw!bJ2*[/ir8MLqe HW@KMCV.zo=7[!ENJ<|ˬikiMa)#)k>r)o ½lX$J+o5 m(dC)ݘrI2GB(";l9,n3 ,R8 ԙ;V2:?u$%FnoW{}8sa>LIt/-yAѼgm]qOS5gF(37P܋/%~#Z>JAm2]j1£#鷩Fd92"fp7U/y,,ӢX'eķzDb8c]'SfD>iq ϦV+'WoZT\IJ9+stR;8Є) '`>X+ya+!W|/3ݪMjK4LzU+S1'3yWMdv;1sYH..52۩ֆL nh}v drEQUvycMFޞ gw[1vO!G?\zq,ZPPib M0J_ˁ=/PhaKrjXq,Xy'lQKPE%aG0y_U颒=&\S>7'HLM.cߌ04Q_HtszoD~iAi1yL {F@?@QB
