Furthermore, he believes that the critics of the lift are those who simply do not know how to teach it. "I think that's a lot of it, but that's one of the things that we've been able to do here which has put us ahead of a lot of programs. It's not that we just go out and do the power clean. We take our time teaching it, breaking down the lift into phases. We start with the deadlift, then work on the high pull and then the rack position. You've got to break it down." As an added incentive to put forth 100 percent in the weight room, every May the coaches put on what Dicus calls a "strength show" with the football team. "We do all of our testing on stage in the auditorium for the high school student body and the community. We put the spotlights on them and blare the music it's just unbelievable. Last year about 700 fans came to watch."<br><br>Concerning injuries, Dicus says, "We have been blessed. Over the last several years we haen't had any injuries in the weight room. Also, because our depth is very minimal, in our practices we don't do any tackling where we're going to take them to the ground."<br><br>Although other athletes use the weight room, Dicus says all the workouts are designed along similar lines. "It goes along with Greg's philosophy of training the core lifts, and adding auxiliary lifts that are specific to each sport. And the girls lift right alongside the boys." As for assistance exercises, he favors dumbbell movements because he believes they more effectively improve stability and flexibility, and because they offer a high degree of variety that keeps the motivation high. As for machines, Dicus doesn't use them much because he doesn't think they are appropriate for his situation. "We use predominantly free weights. That's our major emphasis, and that's what we believe in."<br><br>There are a lot of distractions facing high school students, and discipline can be a problem in some football programs, but Dicus says Texas City has found an approach that works. "We put a lot of responsibility and accountability on our kids, and I think self-discipline plays a big part in their success not only on the field but in the classroom as well. These kids are very hard workers. They never missed a workout this summer, did everything they were asked to do, and put in a great effort doing it. Good things come to those who are willing to take on that level of responsibility."<br><br>This year the strength program will be taken over by Todd McVay and Tim Finn, as Dicus has accepted the position of head coach at Boerne High School in Boerne, Texas. Dicus is excited about his new challenge, and his new motto is "We can get it done at Boerne!"<br><br>With the pressure doubled from defending their championship and losing a lot of players to graduation, the odds are stacked against Texas City of making it two in a row. "We're going to be young, and we'll be playing a lot of sophomores and juniors," says Dowling. "Though repeating might be difficult, I look for us in two or three years to be on top again."ze^ma<2ӭRVJ\Jx5ІXV9 q-ri MKQi3&jk +%96)ͧi\z7PL6?Yq%ĭ_+u4fŸ"|B +ƹXIȑiɔH〣ԟ&e.n^HJmq0BϚ!%9 ks_Ijc,#:'h0 vih8iik6ZC[@7rOy&b+ Pnz-/X^z l␰~/18٭ϭ~=O=ԴL/lIK>#in{3f} eg/  ~ $E-etISC_H[21k4e,'"9ܠc\͕[GO>eڟ|8٨ rw5$GYMV+9=07Yg;+@؃co<q zMU͎?hrjzO梵҃էәm:N4;dm)\F"G>FF"N#ђHI$P~ F81$^G)bz2}q,!2P|q߬yq^8,.n.2\X};x^E^AoÊmB(-ố帾_VF-5yf?7, L[Tm& BݩyEA44e] 9g(dA{[+"$PԫWحۙQʄԭ~#-PQj'y|?R-onϯSI~&T>+(rf\5ቺvzl֜8YCBwZI JZ֫_t=Z8,zE2&[ȇt[Ie4g,d$ԭ?|9"eU:_{N(GebxF5gs 9UޔsΚ|[],mīug}T`E:)Um 4 NB9!b>;qWGbvfGuO;o~SqVH1a9YQµ&Db[?fi KCGTV@(ciu?y 2+u2Q&.iJr6=ՙ93|4^LBA Ҡ\pvsB~wp0UxV)(kފE᷒iŴt2H̑: ֽ~+H*Ѓ#Xuo~=h~"/]*wkiHփ֓?cB$ G|p1$3,w)ıRߋ $mWR>aӘH(YSug $t^^:eHKe FB|G22E3DRth1^_k2ݬb8Y>+ǏsDG*՘Puogmr-4o "\*yS_k,uX"
