There seems to be a certain excitement about the 2006 season that has been reflected in a number of players making appearances in the weight room and on the field this summer. Although the turnout is much better than in the past, there are also some key positions that have a smaller representation than they should. Almost 90% of the players lifting and running are backs and receivers and only a handful of linemen have been in on a consistent basis. It is important that we have equal representation if we are going to meet our goals for this fall. Remember, probably every player will wish he had put more time in during the preseason when the schedule gets into full swing. Getting exhausted during daily doubles, being defeated by a player in a drill, or losing out your position to another player is all it will take to bring the feeling of regret. The only way you can change that is to get into the weight room and put the time in. That way you can always say that you did your best. So get in, work hard, and prepare for the 2006 season. Go Trojans.
