I'm not flinching or wincing at Tennessee paying Indiana football strength coach Derek Owings a historically high $1.2 million per year. Maybe only head coach and QB1 are more important. That's your offseason head coach. That's your tone setter. Pay whatever it takes.

The @UVABaseball Blue team took the first of three, 2-0 (5 inn.), and man, the energy was fantastic. Love a good competitive fall intrasquad. Sophomore righty Michael Yeager tossed three scoreless, freshman right fielder Bryce Neely hammered a solo HR.

S&C is not meant to develop sport skill… It’s meant to develop a wider base of skill potential. Simply, a faster athlete has the potential to run a better route. A stronger athlete has the potential to block better. S&C should be focused on improving force capabilities🙌🏻💪🏻

that energy more quickly into the “propulsion phase” of a counter movement jump. @andrewbehnam1 The combination of force development in the weight room and targeting mechanical deficiencies have allowed Drew to make the jump on his fastball this fall. (4/4)

At this point in time, everyone has completed our force plate testing, and we have bucketed programs based off of qualities. In the coming weeks, I will go over how we utilize the force plates and program off of that.

In the weight room, our performance coach, @andrewbehnam1, utilizes force plates frequently for both readiness and performance tracking. The force plates are used to bucket players based on which physical qualities each individual needs. (1/2)
