Patterson sstrength also helped him earn the co-BSAL Lineman of the Year honor. <br>Vallis was not far behind Patterson in the 1,500-Pound Club. Since starting the program, Vallis said he has improved 150 pounds on his bench press and  a couple hundred on squats and deadlift and 100 on power cleans. <br>  I wasn t doing well at all in the beginning, says Vallis, who was selected as an All-BSAL Lineman.  I couldn t lift a lot of weight and I was fat and slow. I have gained speed, lost weight, gained muscle. I used to weigh 175 pounds. I now weigh 205. <br>But Vallis and Patterson are not the only players that have benefited from the program. Nine other players are in Swett s newly founded 1,ength and conditioning program.  When I go into the weight room, says Tag,  I go in with an attitude of getting better every time. That helps mentally and physically. You have to be disciplined to lift and that in itself is an important carry over. <br> You hear a lot about weights screwing up your skills but stretching is huge. I've lifted probably as consistently as anyone who's played the game and because of my flexibility program, I have never felt tight. But, I have seen guys on steroids get tight or guys that don't stretch get tight. <br>Tag had a big rookie season for the Dons earning honorable mention Freshman All-American an all-WCC honors. He hit .326 with four homers and 50 RBI and closed the year with aseason-high 15-game hitting streak. Tag was the only USF player to start all 58 games and set a new school record with 456 defensive putouts.<br>However, no one could have predicted what was to happen the following year. The media guide staed that Tag was expected to be a major part of the Don's formula for success in 1999 both at the plate and on the mound. Yes, h pitched a little on the side. But, several other returning starters were given top billing. Tag was not slated to be the main attraction. What made the difference?<br>Bob Bozied had a motivational sign at Arvada High School tat meant a lot to his son Tag.  It has become my favorite saying. My dad gave me permission to use it here at USF. I put it up in the locker room. Itouch it every time I o to workout.<br><br> If you want something<br>you've never had,<br>You must be willing to do <br>something you've never done. <br><br> Last year preparation became a huge deal. My written goal was to be a All-American. It was quite a stretch from the results of my freshman year. Those words on the sign were very special and meaningful to me. <br>Tag's plan for the upcoming season is to take away pressure on himself to hit so may home runs.  But I will prepare even harder, says Tag.  The goal is what can I do every inning of every game to help my team win. Last year my
