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 RB'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 never would have said that. My brain wasn't on the right path. Brandon is, not surprisingly, majoring in philosophy and religious studies. He plans on getting a Masters Degree with a goal of teaching and coaching at a junior college. Further goals include going after a Ph.D. and becoming a university coach. <br> I might play pro ball if it happens, philosophies Brandon.  Life is so unsure, so you keep movin' for/t\:6{Ŀ@.:6dc*B<zX!(U/6)i8RN[o E!TPyy@J5f4y?+}d5kIYG-3Tӽ+;?hq`7-ѿ{.!sր ,MyJmeBd"̭n2\rΨ`5:ik^G$ӆJH f]4Mc=jw{UuUK)dI 1JuN~skk{.em+AZiP+7&8V"8T)?!Kze]\87 ,K\ H\wJr"=#«RJNٱ<6Ђ|EYEix'"1\IOl )lK[%Vqx&C7c vG*tmi[-.}B0K>|zᾑM!p3,vx  /"G1 IKx/aa㒍WWhX89`ȧre;& Ac'JniZFgJ+B=6uEj׉Ê<2Ss̘ȟ'^Iiw5Nj#diVh>2F[2G?27sگ)HV|=]1,`l}HAԀ)}Ƈ I'gb^Kv© ~ 4\G6`P8ly) ~n걹1,@RBBQ#9Cs=mFQ=ueVߙ7hy(PtE%#m.M;/n[+>t-9)Zqm_v-,t5R 6noB噸x$:586:$iDse>/S_SnLy-~H:?͒\ѓ>O/ UBIpQwɰ%~=Zru[rZIaI&;O,+(4}ٳ;A^ýc|?xyD'!A~5OW_y~*s\?ơ#ޣNWyAAbGɔ[Q9$ ݂C/݉dM6YѨsPO@ZCNœ8ϩ꿭R/|Y3fK9ثk/9}X:5j<>,Xso7iȖbޗq"8l}{_ ķ~i›jd#6Y>c܌IN㖔}Y3^'6Ad?pП"_=nض\e|Mh*䯋Zwb1NW9{{g*!Xq0
