There s no half-assin in my book. You go full tilt. I achieved this level because of my work ethic and dedication. I like to work hard and give 110 percent in everything, whether it be football or academics. All of it is the same to me. I strive to become the best at everything. After sitting out for my first two years at Tech, I became frustrated and took aggression out in the weight room by working hard to get to this level. Going in the weight room each day and lifting was a natural activity to me. <br>Jim s lifts improved this year to a 350 Bench, a 500 Squat, a 405 Hang Clean and a 331 Push Jerk. He has never missed 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 trun my 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 on Monday morning at 7 a.m., watching film. Each day, Monday through Friday, we have meetings at 2 p.m. After practice, usually for about 30 minutes, I sit down with the coaches and 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 any other day during the week. I just think of it as another practice. <br>Jim believes that negatives like drugs 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 country. Wherever I go I would want Coach Gentry to be there. He is the heart and soul or our program. Coach Gentry is almost a 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 both Mike 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 part of the success of Virginia Tech Football, Resulting in three consecutive bowl appearances.  We have a team dedicated to training hard and striving for excellence, said Gentry, now in his 10th year. The younger student-athletes see the uppercleassmen s intensity and it makes everyone want to train to be one sto find the best athletes to come to Texas. And it doesn't hurt that our facilities are second to none in the country. It's a great outlook for us." <br>Madden says next year the Longhorns have a lot of good returning starterstƈmP;GVɯ>L %ɵhecM#9DxfZۥDrb$ZWMc W#2FkՐzu4+RS҄Tm3-K:#կT=-fLGGũ"+G>gIN 0.csX}z<|`AQ9T"۩ɂHV;}֧J*Зb:N,k,`edUԱLQ-٥q",Mp"M.Pe)b.v_ۨ82l*aBj1!HZ&1~:yHV8Q՚(B6?6|؄(}M5,||_]%ښP](>fZq9хv {/vD꫿Q=^Yăp$H͂2HFd/G'&MFMwR;?Ǩ#ʗ @L RR|v.Yac&Gv7iYڭk/-F"Hf-܌2d'c˘nhI䑾Y"KWBLc'R( %UDvڭX99c2cϓ#Y , Zw_-OjdHF"Fdx50DS9P欔wk+ssHev=mnn]D}8$.^kXJYUP|z8||Hʼ` ,|ZH|lh3HX>FDc=UуR EF`ٖዀv8y/L1|v$ˍ>]22R71Uj %@i.kő4_M-8$+(ʍ*V'wgȋH3[$6nX㐝_)\s-MKK+](3Q{K(m-.x^Aob»[,~/n?WҴݤ.&2-V3kxjڐw.,bXrqR$~[ֶǓ".DidZvu\r,fHV
