I was one of the first five strength coaches in professional baseball, and I thank God for the other four guys who were ahead of me, says Johnson.  You talk about barriers! You talk about misconceptions! You ll have pitchers tell you,  Hey, I can t run the ball to the plate, and batters who ll say,  I m not going to bench press the ball out of the park. Then there were the veterans, who had the attitude of,  I got here without you, I m going to stay here without you, and I m going to be here long after you leave. Because strength training was not mandatory for the Orioles when he arrived, except for stretching, Johnson had only 14 guys from the 25-man roster willing to work with him during his first year.  With college athletes you have more control over the discipline of the athletes. Johnson kept at it and earned their trust, and by his last year virtually the entire team was working out. Although there were some younger players who saw the value in conditioning, the greatest influence Johnson had to get players in the weightroom was Cal Ripken, Jr.  The best thing for me going to the Orioles was Cal Ripken Jr. I attribute a lot of my success to Cal Jr., because he was the leader of the team. <br>Johnson admits that after four years the requirements of being involved with a major league baseball team were getting to him.  People look at it as glitz and glamour. The first year it s kind of neat, but you re on the road about 125 days a year and at times you don t know what day it is-it s just a crazy, crazy e steroids. <br> The Be An Eleven concept is important here at Park High School . . . to be a great individual in all areas like athletics, school, family and community, says Tom.  To me, it is going the extra step to stand out. Spiritual values are also importnt. It also became known to me that Tom prays every day.<br>Tom tries to be an example, and he is very much aware that the younger athletes and students are looking to him for leadership. He tells other,  Have fortitude. Have courage and strength of mind. ake your family important. If I couldn t play footbatrength coach a lot easier. <br><br>Building the Mind <br>Behind the Muscle<br>Having been involved in strength training for almost tw decades, Johnson has seen a trend in using a variety of conditionin methods, rather than emphasizing just one type of training such as powerlifting.  From my perspective, most strength coaches are now incorporating multiple training stimulus in their programs. Just about every strength coach is using some type of Olympic lifting movement, some type of plyometrics-although they may not call it plyometrics, preferring the term  speed training.  <br>Over his years of experience Johnson has also seen the effect of Bigger Faster Stronger on the strength coaching profession.  Coaches all over the country are always talking about what they saw in the recent issue of BFS. Our coaches used to cut out the articles and post them on the bulletin board, and it was very motivating for us to read what an athlete in Arizona was doing as opposed to another athlete in Minnesota. I ve meet Dr. Shepard on numerous occasions and heard him speak, and he s been ahead of his time as far as getting the word out on strength and conditioning. <br>A
