1. Every player, coach, or staff member will become a better person for having been part of this program. More
important than winning or everything we are doing.
2. We must do something each day to make ourselves a better person and player. No one stays the same!
3. Be Champions on and off the field. Each action lives first in thought. Sit long over thoughts.
4. NO EXCUSES! NO REGRETS! When you can get rid of the excuses, you can live your life without regrets!
We will not be in a situation where we say, We are going to go back and work harder on this now. We dont
second guess ourselves. What are we going to do to make it better next week?
5. I will PERSIST! What that means, under any circumstance I might encounter, under the toughest of
conditions, even when it seems to most I am beaten, you will grow tired because I will Persist. I will not go
away. I will still be standing. This statement applies to football as well as life. If you say those words and
mean them, you are not going to whip me. I dont care what you do, how often you do it, how well you do it,
Im still going to be there. If you knock me down a thousand times, I am going to stand back up. I will
succeed!

At BAKER UNIVERSITY our athletes invest their time in the weight room. They dont spend their time doing nonproductive exercises. Everything we do is related to football. Therefore, our workouts are intense and relatively brief.
Were not a weight lifting team, nor are we marathon runners. Too much emphasis in one area will leave us lacking
in another. There are several critical areas that we believe make up our overall level of fitness and ability to be a
complete football player.

Each area must be addressed individually for our athletes to Reach their Full Potential.
The key to training properly is INTENSITY. Intensity is the foundation for strength and conditioning gains. Not
magical formulas, super hero routines, miracle supplements and 1000 pound clubs.
Intensity includes:

START FAST
Verbally encourage the lifter to exert an all-out effort while utilizing the techniques mentioned above
Make sure the workout is as hard and as intense as possible
Remember athletes looking for the answer to their strength problems need only look at the way they actually train.
Do you work with intensity? Do you train consistently? Do you train that way during the season? Can you perform a
perfect rep? Do you take nutrition, rest and recovery into account? These questions should be answered before an
athlete questions programs, reps and schemes. Muscles dont have eyeballs that allow them to see a specific
program and decide if they want to react to it.
The immediate purpose of strength training exercise is to fatigue your muscles
Repetition Replication- Properly performing reps is the most challenging fundamental of strength training. When
you begin an exercise the first rep you do is the most important. Your goal is to block out all distractions and perform
the perfect rep. The weight should be raised smoothly, paused in the contracted position and lowered slowly to a full
stretch. When you begin the second rep its important that it is performed in the exact same manner as the first. Your
goal is to replicate perfect reps. If I were to video record a set of reps I shouldnt be able to notice a difference
between the reps when the tape is played back.
To improve your strength as well as your muscle mass you must place your muscles in a critical situation. Remember
your brain will only recruit the minimum amount of muscle fibers necessary to do the job. This is why you must do as
many perfect reps as possible. As many as possible is a confusing point for many young athletes. Some believe that
ten reps are all they can do. Lets set the standard right now! When you think you have done as many perfect reps as
you can, imagine that your life depends on you getting another perfect rep. I want you to believe that if you do not get
one more youre done for. If at that point you cant do another perfect rep, try to get half a rep, try to get a quarter of
a rep, try to move the weight one inch. When you cant move the weight a fraction of an inch more, you have finished
the proper set. You have successfully completed the exercise and you should feel proud of your effort.
This is our philosophy and the way we train at BAKER UNIVERSITY.

Champion Circuit
Description
The Champion Circuit is a high tempo circuit that encompasses all of our Olympic style lifts. It is the most
FOOTBALL SPECIFIC workout that we can do because the rest intervals that you get in between each set are very
similar to those of a game situation. This circuit will increase our physical and mental toughness while constantly
forcing you to adapt to different movements that put your body in an awkward position. This workout is all about
TECHNIQUE, SPEED, and eventually power. Power is defined as the product of force on an object and the
objects velocity in the direction in which the force is exerted. In other words this workout is focused on increasing
your ability to move the bar at a high rate of SPEED with progressively heavier loads. By performing this circuit you
will be forcing your body to develop muscle recruitment patterns that maximize your ability to apply force at a high
rate of speed. The culminations of all these factors make the Champion Circuit an ideal way to train for football. The
benefits will translate directly to the field of play by making your looser in your hips, more powerful, and more
explosive. BUY IN to the method and lets be CHAMPIONS.
Why it Works
Benefits of Lifting Weights While Standing- The Weightlifting Encyclopedia- Arthur Drechsler
The Champion Circuit is performed as an on ground training method. By standing up while training you
force your synergist, grip, stabilizer, and prime mover muscles all to work together to move the greatest
resistance. This makes each muscle involved contribute in a unique way to force an adaptive response to the
exercise being performed.
Performing lifts such as power clean, snatch, and squat clean and press teaches an athlete how to explode.
This means that not only are you creating muscle memory that will directly translate to the field.
The Champion Circuit forces you to learn how to receive force from another moving body (the bar)
effectively and becomes conditioned to accept such forces which will help to prevent injuries.
The movements that will be performed in the Champion Circuit are very similar to those used on the football
field. For example a Squat Clean and Press is very similar to a defensive line man getting off the ball and
punching the offensive lineman in order to control his gap.
The fast paced Olympic style lifts used in the Champion Circuit cause hypertrophy in Type II muscle fibers
(fast twitch muscle fibers) which give the athlete higher explosion capabilities.

CONDITIONING
1. Speed can be taught
2. The mechanics of speed development applied properly over time will improve speed
3. Speed development is not form running
Speed has been defined as: Stride Length x Stride Frequency. To improve speed you must take the components of
running and improve the time/distance of that movement or increase the power generated by that movement.
Dynamic Warm-ups are one of the most important aspects of the WILDCAT strength and conditioning program.
They should be done on a daily basis. This is an opportunity for you to improve the speed/power of your feet as well
as the length of your stride. In order to improve you must focus on the drills; do them correctly and with
INTENSITY.

AGILITY STATIONS
Agility can be defined as the ability to change direction without losing speed. Agility stations are the most football
specific part of the WILDCAT conditioning program. Agility stations improve your ability to move and change
direction in a fast and efficient way. The greater variety of drills that you do the greater variety of muscles you will
work. If you accomplish 3 things in your drills make it a point to;
1. Always finish the drill
2. Always be in a great football position throughout the drill
3. Run the drill clean with no mistakes
BAGS
Bag drills are a useful device when working on foot speed and quickness. The bags used are 1x1x3 and
are placed between 18 and 24 inches apart. Each line should have a total of 6 bags with a starting cone set 5 yards
before the first bag and a finish cone set 5 yards away from the last bag. Some examples of drills used are:

Get on a schedule. Make sure you are in bed early enough to get seven to ten hours of sleep per night
Take naps whenever you can fit them in during the day.
Eat properly. Exercise depletes the stored sugar in your muscles. A high carbohydrate diet will allow for
more sugar to be stored in your muscles. In addition, research has indicated that within an hour after
exercise your bodys ability to store sugar in the muscles is at its greatest. Consequently, you should eat or
drink carbohydrates within sixty minutes of training.

NUTRITION
Nutrition is the one component of a fitness program where most people are misinformed or misunderstood.
Everywhere you turn you hear or read about someone who has gained or lost 20lbs. in one week. This type of
information is misleading and dangerous. As athletes, you must know the fact about diet and dietary habits in order to
perform at your optimum level. You cannot run a high-performance racecar on kerosene.
Balanced Diet:
Everyone should eat a well balanced diet. A balanced diet should consist of eating approximately 60% complex
carbohydrates, 20-25% fat and 15-20% protein.

Athletes tend to consume large amounts of food and if a sensible selection occurs there is an adequate intake of
vitamins and minerals. If your diet is not balanced a vitamin-mineral supplement might prove beneficial. However,
the finest source of vitamins and minerals comes from the grocery store.
Excess weight in the form of fat reduces speed and endurance of any athlete. We want you bigger not fatter! The
following pages contain analysis of foods and their calories, carbohydrate, protein, and fat content. Also, there are
some examples of balanced diets. These pages are to be used as reference material to improve your overall eating
habits.
Hydration
Sufficient fluid intake is key to optimal performance and unfortunately, poor fluid intake is a very common problem
among college athletes. You must know your own body. You might be one of those players who is a heavy sweater
and have higher fluid requirements than some of your teammates.
Losing as little as 1-2% of body weight (2-4 pounds of sweat) can negatively impact your performance. Additionally,
losing 4-6% of your body weight can really impair performance and greater than 6% body weight loss is dangerous
and can lead to heat stroke.
Negative impact of body weight water loss can include:

Fluids should be cooled and flavored to enhance taste and increase voluntary fluid intake.

Fluids should include sodium to promote rehydration (e.g. Gatorade).

Fast Foods:
An occasional meal at a fast food restaurant will not destroy balance in the diet. Fast foods are high in fat and calories
and will raise the percentage of fat. A player on a 4000-calorie diet should take in 90 grams of fat daily (810
calories). At McDonalds, a Big Mac, French fries and apple pie contains 61 grams of fat (549 calories). Therefore,
other meals for the day should be lower in fat to offset the intake of fat at McDonalds. It is beneficial to learn which
foods are high in fat in order to better justify meals.

Good nutrition is essential for attaining maximal performance in athletics as food provides the building blocks from
which growth and development and strength gains come. Food provides the fuel for high performance levels that are
required in both practice and in competition. No matter how talented the athlete he is largely dependent upon the
nutrients available to his working tissues. Contracting muscles need a continuous supply of good nutrients to maintain
strength and stamina and without a well-balanced diet, maximal performances cannot be expected from the muscles.
Without proper nutrition, it is a waste of time to follow a strength and conditioning program, no matter how superior
the program may be.
Juggling calories should not mean missing meals: meal regularity aids nutrition, morale and discipline as well as the
efficient utilization of nutrients. For exhausting sports, some athletes may require five or six meals. Breakfast, the
most important should be a welcome meal, since the digestive and nutritional states of the body are at their lowest
upon awakening in the morning and need replenishing for the days activities. Lunch and dinner meals are generally
selected from the basic food groups and slight differences between these meals depend upon personal preferences.
Both meals are build around a serving of lean meat, poultry or fish, that may be preceded by an appetizer of fruit,
vegetable juice or soup and should be accompanied by a starchy food choice (rice, pasta, potatoes, noodles, bread,
etc.) and hearty portions of cooked and cold fruits and vegetables, milk (preferably low fat) and water are the choice
beverages.
