I refuse to associate with any person, place or thing that creates negativity or mediocrity.<br><br>3. Nothing, absolutely nothing, will stop me from  Being An Eleven! <br><br><br>" <br><br>In our Be An Eleven Guidebook, we have outlined three rules for success (shown above). Discuss them with your athletes. We have made it clear and easy to reproduce. Please make a copy for each athlete. Suggest that they put a copy of these rules in their locker or at home in their bedroom. Have them repeat these rules out loud in unison. These rules will keep your dream alive. They are a Dream Keeper thing. Just think how great it would be if we can help just one kid raise his/her own personal bar of excellence. 1997 with 28 starts as a catcher. Last season he led LSU in homeruns (29) and runs batted in (90). Brad attended Marina High School in California where he lettered three years as a catcher. As a senior, he hit .445 with 11 doubles, 12 homeruns and 30 RBIs. Brad was the Orange County MVP as a junior. His father works as the bullpen coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Brad, is a Kinesiology major and Benches 290 pounds.<br>If Brad were a high school baseball coach, he would have his team aggressively lift weights.  We are dominate at LSU because we lift. Our baseball coaches believe in it. They even come down to watch us. They check in. <br> Without our strength and conditioning program, asserts Brandon,  we would be a mediocre baseball team. If you miss a weight workout, it is like missing a practice. You are not going to get away with it. It would ruin the fabric of the team if we were not committed, dedicated and required to weight train. <br> You need to do your flexibility workout, advised Brad.  The theory that weights tighten you up is a myth. It does nothing but good if you do it the right way. <br> For pitchers not to lift is a crock, said Brandon.  I work my legs. I know that's where it's at. And, I don't go crazy on the bench. <br>Brad continued,  You must be committed and have a desire to make your goal. Set your goals high. Brandon added.  It will take will and determination. You can't be afraid to lose. You can't go out scared. Just be determined to mow 'em down. <br>Last season, the LSU Tiger baseball team did not do that well in the SEC tournament. The team said not to worry about it. Regionals were what was important for the national championship. They hit 20 homeruns in four games to win regionals! That was a record. Brandon was selected to the All-Tournament NCAA South Two Regional Team. They hit 17 homeruns in the College World Series which tied the record while finishing third. Brad was selected as a First Team All-American and led the SEC in homeruns and RBI's. <br>Brandon seemed so squared away during our interview, I was surprised to hear him say,  I made some bad choices in high school. I got kicked out of school my senior year. But, I did some real soul searching. I realized God gave me some talent and I wasn't supposed to waste it. I got my life back together, went to junior college and then on to LSU. <br> I never miss class now. I turn in my assignments on time. I don't drink, or chew, I don't think alcohol and tobacco are part of baseball or life. At seventeen I neverad just returned from a three game absence due to injury. He blocked the extra point to keep the game tied.&nbsp; As he came off the field, he was yelling we are not losing this game.&nbsp; After a nice return by senior Deandre Styles, we drove the ball down the field and running back Marc Hamilton (1247 Yards) scored with about a minute to go.&nbsp; On our winning drive, we ran the ball six times in a row.&nbsp; TǾ|>i&8̚c0ĬCH)mվ$/nvx2Mu;ӭ*ec:WA'N$pcY}?ɂZ/ѐB*hU}Ri$N,ȕi>/ NDQFV@q P^_nο)n 6!YT/&^8S4+5۪F/Mjodx#oG!29#$ P~?ځ$7ֿY gjb9ECS{v?w l3GYMjqs޽/j
