Last season he led LSU in homeruns (29) and runs batted in (90). Brad attended Marina High School in California where he lettered three years as a catcher. As a senior, he hit .445 with 11 doubles, 12 homeruns and 30 RBIs. Brad was the Orange County MVP as a junior. His father works as the bullpen coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Brad, is a Kinesiology major and Benches 290 pounds.<br>If Brad were a high school baseball coach, he would have his team aggressively lift weights.  We are dominate at LSU because we lift. Our baseball coaches believe in it. They even come down to watch us. They check in. <br> Without our strength and conditioning program, asserts Brandon,  we would be a mediocre baseball team. If you miss a weight workout, it is like missing a practice. You are not going to get away with it. It would ruin the fabric of the team if we were not committed, dedicated and required to weight train. <br> You need to do your flexibility workout, advised Brad.  The theory that weights tighten you up is a myth. It does nothing but good if you do it the right way. <br> For pitchers not to lift is a crock, said Brandon.  I work my legs. I know that's where it's at. And, I don't go crazy on the bench. <br>Brad continued,  You must be committed and have a desire to make your goal. Set your goals high. Brandon added.  It will take will and determination. You can't be afraid to lose. You can't go out scared. Just be determined to mow 'em down. <br>Last season, the LSU Tiger baseball team did not do that well in the SEC tournament. The team said not to worry about it. Regionals as how our BFS clinics began, and those schools that I worked with also saw dramatic turnarounds in their programs.<BR>In between my football jobs in Washington and Idaho, I was hired as the strength coach at Brigham Young University. At BYU I did a movie called Bigger Faster Stronger. The movie was a hit, and the secret was out nationwide. Football coaches nationwide began doing the BFS program, but even so, it seemed to be a slow process. It was also amazing to me that coaches from other sports just could not get it.<BR>In December of 1981, I was hired by the Utah Jazz to be their strength coach. At that time I was the only strength coach in the NBA. I, along with my BFS partner Bob Rowbotham, was with the Utah Jazz for 16 years. Pro baseball did not start hiring strength coaches until the 1990s. Even today, if you took all the high school athletes in all the boys' and girls' sports, you would still find that less than half possess the key to becoming bigger, faster and stronger. It is very simple -- if you want to make your success happen and unlock your full potential as an athlete, you must use the key. <BR>Today, about 95 percent of college strength coaches use the methods I learned from George in one form or another. The remaining five percent focus on a different approach, with injury prevention as the pr >#i/E5X2mBC|\ d70KD܀u$̯sXbr7.!6N$z+|mǎM$HcgFUxK}9zҿ3]\Xb Xx~to>Y~Pԝ qZzeoorm0=ە4;Hd;$u,<+On] 3 I5ቼal#ԥ_ΡI |9 nU!xPBk˅/0G{>%DZLmk6#IXu@ݷp?o,'O8ȍ~7@?1WWj@A͕?׊n1#ibae-+Ā~$WPG-鶠"j[ى+?Ewoz̭^!A`cZ6p?n:e5YBQ,^Zb3ZEBD+#3 /Z[6ʪ';,`VO˟2C/kYhU4a_o#`& !#աܨz`)6GUEe,P$ P>3reo2b|Fq;wtSWF$yRȍZt6x K.ֵ;Q !Bѡ,VAF2}3ʶ&.w">FllVwW=_]E-E?x5̄LޫY@(v{ |y{QeE }Ҹhڄn]}/o۽ZCZȉ@Q͙2`MUTvqE +N~N.nӀtDZE '@P?nv U5iY-> EZx ǧe@gF%v+6 z|Џ.;GiE_O6(t7t )vq]Ww-ǥ-[zcLkc"m HOr?eWs+ebGt(Kx T~?ݍ m*}Tѹ+QP ?m/3гNjԭöȋ4ۦ,pFkUR-yU|2׭555w<+ͩҁ#Xb?+Y+'ry@M,Ql#mT/!n XmEB6d-b4i@aPŠ{'XP]J#@d/~0[ 0
