It became obvious to all that something special had happened to the mountain men of Oakhurst, but what the community did not realize was that the athletes had spent long hours preparing for those hard fought battles. The many hours of summer training had prepared them to be the best.<br> <br>Team Leaders<br><br>Six foot three 280 lb. senior Cole Popovich was an a, says Tag,  I go in with an attitude of getting better every time. That helps mentally and physically. You have to be disciplined to lift and that in itself is an important carry over. <br> You hear a lot about weights screwing up your skills but stretching is huge. I've lifted probably as consistently as anyone who's played the game and because of my flexibility program, I have never felt tight. But, I have seen guys on steroids get tight or guys that don't stretch get tight. <br>Tag had a big rookie season for the Dons earning honorable mention Freshman All-American an all-WCC honors. He hit .326 with four homers and 50 RBI and closed the year with a season-high 15-game hitting streak. Tag was the only USF player to start all 58 games and set a new school record with 456 defensive putouts.<br>However, no one could have predicted what was to happen the following year. The media guide stated that Tag was expected to be a major part of the Don's formula for success in 1999 both at the plate and on the mound. Yes, he pitched a little on the side. But, several other returning starters were given top billing. Tag was not slated to be the main attraction. What made the difference?<br>Bob Bozied had a motivational sign at Arvada High School that meant a lot to his son Tag.  It has become my favorite saying. My dad gave me permission to use it here at USF. I put it up in the locker room. I touch it every time I go to workout.<br><br> If you want something<br>you've never had,<br>You must be willing to do <br>something you've never done. <br><br> Last year preparation became a huge deal. My written goal was to be an All-American. It was quite a stretch from the results of my freshman year. Those words on the sign were very special and meaningful to me. <br>Tag's plan for the upcoming season is to take away pressure on himself to hit so may home runs.  But I will prepare even harder, says Tag.  The goal is what can I do every inning of every game to help my team win. Last year my team went 22-33-1 and that did not sit well with me. Winning for the team is what's most important. <br>Inside Tag's hat and batting helmet he always writes,  You are prepared. <br> You get out of something what you put into it, says Tag.  Success comes through preparation. Don't wait just to let something great happen. Prepare to make it happen. <br>Tag never had a drop of alcohol in high school and, of course, the same was true with drugs.  My mom would kill me, says Tag,  if I chewed, so I never have! In college it has been the same story. I have not even had a soda in over 8 years. My drink of choice is water and orange juice. <br>Tag will be draft eligible after this next season, his junior year. The draft will take place next June. He doesn't even think about it.  My goal, says Tag,  is to prepare and help the team win. Then whatever happens, happens. <br>With young men like Tag, our nation will survive and become even greater. What an inspiration! We will use a lot of Tag's methods in our BFS Clinics from no on. I will not wish him luck but wish him continued health so he can continue to prepare and we hope to see Tag making it big in the big league <br>someday.L7SDe hϨ$x5#i|QoF"ԭ9yR9"|`l}쎣!"3bfuX\-Odm2c-BDv⢒0m*s #VIFE?0i==NS20mی ̫E.XKi!}+ ,OZW24{Z53#θ^]6cO6̄_Ը;pV־Lml)}{XC{K[ n,^'s,O $*rvpk,-|Ѧiks#B<i ̬MkSU8?Nsˋ̒XƯ9%.54a#p=eʘp1.#)siO]9۹|MGxfsslژh'o&GڍxfMGv6W%GGUyGS6m+q,BdtHٷa>!OyHgaMƴ?B>Ef$V#jCᕴ(1Al%Q;Wq|Jc GZFs<.㊻nKV03Bz
