After graduating with a double major in sports management and sports medicine in 1989, Bennett took assistant strength coaching positions at Clemson (1990), Virginia Tech (1993) and then Marshall (1996). At Marshall he saw his first team go 15-0 and win the Division I-AA National Championship, and such success caught the attention of the football coaching staff at University of Wyoming in Laramie. They were impressed with Bennett's accomplishments and enthusiasm. As a result, in January of 1998 Bennett settled into his most prestigious job, Head Strength Coach at the University of Wyoming.  The biggest difference at Wyoming is that I'm in a higher profile job-everything runs through me. <br>The heart of Bennett's strength program is a 5600-square-foot facility consisting primarily of heavy duty, core free-weight equipment such as lifting platforms, power racks, Olympic benches and of course, tons of iron. For the non-athletes, the University has built an impressive facility that Bennett says has much more of a health club environment with leverage machines and high-tech aerobic equipment. <br>Bennett says that he developed his approach to training athletes by researching strength programs that were doing well and assimilating their best methods into his overall system.  I work on what you might call a  scratch where it itches basis, says Bennett.  If our leg strength is not as good as it needs to be, I'll find out whose program is doing well in that area and apply their ideas to our program. Bennett also credits his many mentors and co-workers at Ole Miss, Clemson, Virginia Tech and Marshall for teaching him the ABCs and XYZs of strength coaching.<br><br>Building the Foundation<br><br>Bennett says his core lifts for the football team are variations of the squat and the Olympic lifts, plus basic heavy-duty upper body exercises such as the bench press.  We perform back squats, front squats, power cleans, snatches, push presses and bench presses--to name just a few. It sounds like we do it all, and we eventually do in a year-round program, but the key to success for our athletes is developing a good foundation of strength. If your strength foundation is there, your speed and your power are going to improve. But, number one, you've got to have a strength base. <br>Although there are still skeptics who preach about the dangers of performing Olympic lifting exercises and squats, Bennett has found that the myths surrounding strength training are not as prevalent today as the public has become more educated about the field. The key to safety, he says, is a proper teaching progression.  I don't think that training younger athletes with lighter weights and teaching them how to move their body in a natural way is dangerous at all. <br>One important component of Bennett's conditioning system is a focus on plyometric training, which he says comprises about 10 percent of his total program.  When you put plyometrics in at the r
