PHILOSOPHY

            Our philosophy is simple: WE WILL OUT WORK EVERY TEAM IN THE NATION.  However, we will not do work for the sake of work.  All of our exercises are directed at making you a better football player, both mentally and physically.  Every time you step into the weight room or step onto the field, you must be mentally prepared and determined to get better.  You should be committed to give 100% in everything that you do.  If you cannot commit that level of effort to yourself, your coaches, and YOUR TEAM we will not attain our goals.
