He wants us to feel a  sense of urgency in everything we do; he tells us,  We can t wait until tomorrow--we have to do it today!, and  if you don t feel it, then Clemson ain t the place for you.  <br><br>Not Just a Paper Tiger <br><br>If you get the sense that being a strength coach at Clemson is a demanding job, you re right. But Coach Batson is up to the challenge and has exceeded even Coach Bowden s demanding expectations.<br>A native of Georgia, Batson says he caught the lifting bug when he started pumping iron in a basement gym with his cousin.  We had a high school coach who gave us a strength program. Although we didn t quite know what we were doing, we enjoyed lifting. As his love for lifting eventually evolved into a desire to be a strength coach, after college, Batson accepted graduate-assistant jobs to perfect his skills. He took on greater responsibilities at smaller schools, and four years ago became the head strength coach at Clemson.<br>Batson says one of the biggest influences in his training philosophy has been Louie Simmons, arguably the most accomplished powerlifting coach in the world.  Several years ago I spent some time visiting Louie and I still talk to him about every two months--Louie has been a great help to me, says Batson.  His gym is pretty barbaric--there s not much there--but it just shows you that you can take some barbells and dumbbells, a glute-ham bench and a power rack and get just about as strong as anybody. <br>The Clemson strength program is well staffed with four full-time coaches, three graduate assistants, two student assistants and one volunteer. With that level of help, Batson is able to group his athletes under separate coaches, which allows for greater individuality. But Clemson s commitment to football doesn t stop with quality coaches.<br>Batson says Bowden is pushing hard to get a 10,000-square-foot weightroom completed as soon as possible, one that will cater primarily to football.  We ve got a brand new football complex in the works, says Batson.  When you add that accomplishment to our indoor-turf field, it s a prog of his education and what it means to his future.&nbsp; He turns his assignments in on time and has a 2.7 GPA.&nbsp; "I want to be a teacher and work with kids back home in Hawaii," said Chris.&nbsp; "A lot of kids are hard headed like me.&nbsp; The age I like best is from 10-12.&nbsp; That's when they start to change.&nbsp; In my neighborhood there are gangs and drugs.&nbsp; The last time I went hoe two kids got killed in a gang war right in front of my home.</P> <P>"I'd like to be an elementary school teacher and coach little league football."&nbsp; Chris feels little league would be more fun.&nbsp; "Whatever happens with money or pro ball, I'd still want to teach.&nbsp; I'm happy with a simple life."</P> <P>Chris would be also happy with a Luau everyday.&nbsp; He doesn't eat poi but does eat taro and bakes it like a potato.&nbsp; He doesn't particularly like food here on the mainland.&nbsp; Chris is trying to eat a lot of salads now to keep his weight down.&nbsp; "But it is real hard," admitted Chris.&nbsp; You should have seen Chris' eyes light up when I told him about the new BFS nutrition plan explained in this journal.</P> <P>"Chris has always tried to keep himself clean as far as drugs and alcohol.&nbsp; "I have never had a drink in high school or here at Utah," confided Chris.&nbsp; "My whole life people have always asked me to drink.&nbsp; But if people push you about it, they aren't really your friends.&nbsp; My teammates don't bother me here at Utah.&nbsp; They tell me it is cool that I don't drink."</P> <P>Chris laughed, "Maybe I would drink if you could find somebody tough enough to beat up my mom but I don't think so.&nbsp;
