He even got to wondering how a Be An Eleven seminar might have changed his own life.  Although I have always wanted to do well, I actually didn't know what I wanted to do until I was well past high school. When I graduated from high school I joined the military, and ended up staying 22 years. I think that if I'd had something like the Be An Eleven program when I was younger, it might have changed some of the things I did. <br>One of the highlights of the Be An Eleven presentation was the response to Coach Sellers' words on how drugs influence young people.  Jeff did a good job of bringing across how drugs can take away from not only your athletic abilities but also your academic abilities. During that part of the presentation a parent stood up and applauded, and soon just about everybody in the whole place stood up and clapped. <br>Although the Be an Eleven seminar has been over for months, Nathan says that the positive effects haven't diminished.  I've gone to pre-game meals with the kids and watched them at Blue Jays' practice, and someone will always say something along the lines of, 'Let's think about being an Eleven, let's keep this energy going!' and it charges the kids right back up. <br>And that is music to a Blue Jay's ears.latforms, 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 certain lifts that I want to know how much they can do, but nothing other than that.<br><br>BFS: Is the NFL combine a valuable tool for pro coaches?<br>Adams: I personally am not a big fan of the combine I think it s an archaic test. The one thing the combine does have is a history, and it can tell us if a college kid can run. If an athlete can run, then there is hope that he ll eventually be a great player. The only time we test the 40 is when we bring in a free agent, but other than that it s all about game speed and the play on the field. <br><br>BFS: What are the most common injuries you re seeing with football?<br>Adams: It s hard to put a number on what would be the most prominent injuries. We see concussions and a lot of soft tissue injuries, but there isn t a part of the body that is exempt from being injured in football. It s a total contact sport.<br><br>BFS: Do the pro athletes you work with eat well?<br>Adams: You would think so, but in actuality that s not necessarily the case. <br><br>BFS: What is your philosophy about nutritional supplements?<br>Adams: I come from the perspective that athlet
