In other words, the Air Force basically told me that not only could I not go on to get a higher degree but also that they were going to send me to do something I really didn t want to do. That s when I chose to get out and pursue coaching and my love for working with athletes.<br><br>BFS: With your education and experience, were you immediately successful in the private sector?<br>Adams: No it was very difficult. At first I did a lot of work with figure skaters at the Broadmoor Figure Skating Club in Colorado Springs, and then the opportunity to work with the Broncos came my way. The players saw that I did things a little differently, and several of them decided to ask to work individually with me in the following off-season. I ended up with five Broncos in the off-season, and through trades and one thing or another I eventually ended up working with players from all across the country. <br> <br>BFS: How did you get the job with the Raiders?<br>Adams: A couple of my clients played for the Raiders, and when the strength coach for the Raiders left, the organization called and asked me if I would be interested in the job. I originally said no because I was in the process of opening up a facility in Denver, but I said I d be willing to talk to Coach Callahan. He called me the next day. I found him to be an incredible man, a visionary and a great thinker who is committed to what he is doing. By the end of our conversation I knew this was an opportunity I just couldn t turn down.<br><br>BFS: What were some of the changes you made when you first took the job with the Raiders?<br>Adams: One of the first things I tried to accomplish was to create an atmosphere of change. I wanted to let the players know there was a new guy in town and things were going to be different. So I revamped the weight room and brought in a lot of Olympic lifting platforms, power racks and free weights. <br><br>BFS: What is your weight training philosophy?<br>Adams: My sole purpose is to create an environment in the weight room and out on the field to foster an athlete s natural ability. If I can enhance it in any way, great; if I can prevent any injuries, great. The bottom line is to keep these guys as healthy as possible and get as much out of them as we can to get them to last through a long and demanding season.<br><br>BFS: Do the Raiders give cash incentives to their players for working out, or do they pretty much work out hard on their own anyway?<br>Adams: We don t construct our contracts in such a manner that they get incentives. They do get a per diem for being in the program, but it s insignificant compared to what they normally make.<br><br>BFS: Do you do any special testing on your players?<br>Adams: Yes and no. I do an assessment on all the players, but it s very visual and is accomplished by watching them move and do things. There are a few individuals who have certain issues, and I ll actually assess them on a table, but from a testing perspective it s not like I run 40s with them. There are c
