He was very disappointed, but did not give up. I was relieved, however, because I still questioned his ability to handle the varsity contact.<br>The third football game came, and the head coach decided that it might be good if the senior quarterback was moved to running back for a few plays. The coach decided to give Conrad one offensive series at the beginning of the game. Well, in five plays, we scored with Conrad running in the touchdown on an option play  his first varsity touchdown. Needless to say, the coach left Conrad in as quarterback the rest of the game. That night he passed for 220 yards and earned the starting varsity quarterback job. That season, Conrad passed for 780 yards and ended up seventh in all of Southeast Missouri in passing. <br>At every game, the other team saw the  Freshman Quarterback and was determined to  take him out. He took a lot of real hard hits, but he always bounced back up. He really could handle the contact well.<br>Conrad turned an ankle in basketball and rehabilitated. He returned and hurt his ankle again. The doctor said that he could not play anymore basketball that year, so he started throwing and running every day after school.<br>After football, Conrad unfortunately sustained an ankle injury and was prohibited by the doctor to continue the basketball season. Determined not to let that set him back he continued hard with his training and when track started Conrad was the fastest boy in the entire school. He was running the 110-meter high hurdles, the 300-meter intermediate hurdles, the 100-meter dash, and the 200-meter dash. I expected him to do well in the hurdles and to score a few points in the 100-meter dash. But at his first 6 meets, he got 1st in the 100-meter and was undefeated. He ended up running an 11.32 100-meter and qualifying for the state track meet in the 100-meter and in the 4x100 relay. He placed twelfth in the State in the 100-meter and was the only freshman thereed to perform my best.&nbsp; Second and most importantly, it gave me increased confidence in myself.&nbsp; Being a soccer goalkeeper, the medicine ball throws really helped my arm and hand strength.&nbsp; I found myself catching and holding balls that I would have parried out of bounds in the past.&nbsp; The box jumps really increased my vertical jumping ability and also helped polish the footwork I need before diving to make a save.&nbsp; I found that the biggest thing I gained from speed, strength and conditioning was the increase in my self image.&nbsp; Being stronger and faster, I found that I had a new level of confidence.&nbsp; This confidence is especially important for a goalkeeper, because the rest of the team can feed off of a goalkeepers' play and intensity."<BR><STRONG>--Brad Barnes, SMS Soccer, Senior Goaltender</STRONG></P> <P align=left>"Strength training is one of the most important factors for our style of play and is essential for building a program.&nbsp; In order for our program to compete on a national level our strength and conditioning program is a went all the way to the top.&nbsp; How can young, smart football players relate to a corny song like "High Hopes"?&nbsp; Well, as you can imagine, Barnett squirmed as his troops were polite but reluctant.&nbsp; Musseau persisted.</P> <P>Life, like football, is full of surprises.&nbs9glprS)REZ+<ĔP#I ~U}> ,-$P(o&V5J9H^^d-W-Z6>")ΖDn{#"I:}8^_/bTs/W$G%}kNbLR{G+C,vi$u+ucykW=(J>%u?ʁnXY1>O*NW w}t'3  sqqKZV;EJr!eIn`c<友@zi'0;PHp?8DX* x$H {Mit٢V>oG* z{r%=m/9bd]wD/Wb_ R.4jHN'a"ب_3 H9!0 .qڹ< ^J:ޠ̠CMh}6iyh%7.yL;#ID.J\0@hon v\][8П(SFq}DA{ (yQhӵͮ(v|j/-/${RiF_O/B 3!:oхl%a"ʱH_TZ)Xu }:;p?WkXtTqmMؑq~|H}f5xѺ 3֛N6ُI:ո3@h;+yPl3}XcRCgHu?*$"Z3{ #=Ю dK4)b~+ܦF^d@YJI[;vE/D-&02/[XV 6=P%@Xm-޶o@)k`6ֆeix el"҉9>66?(QaSq7QE0Ūxӛ_Kd泀;V0;[[&ZπV\إ7G^>*/ykdM5}ɤ'.;rOUBTa`W?aҭD[ juA|_Hb.[Ntk1v[XXM`d["Mɹ^UP-,P&8 }'8#Fkq%<*uF$X#n;VfS( n᎕b-j`{Uɸ&>yvB8=էv/,^F:hŲv׭X0Vz^vmԲpnD1/`5cI`>8r)|mHv6W5z>}}N\~?jZsC:i^Rb&Ey_z^0ڟf#IĄߋb@:rts`U{[@mK  H=Dcv=%?|chQ,#Q`*qFzQ4EKeK*t Ͷ/zv Y=3`1u i7BsԒsF<+LՎN K˩s9B'$`mlZ v/Jj"KkڸW+'cg-ePPt` lQݩ]^֣¶*|-V=,+[j @P4z֟*“q`5Br^`z'T\ܶkxQ0 #m.sjdO*r9 πX0 m̒@Eo^7c<:VX梟ܯJ
