2010-11 Season Preview
The 2009-10 season saw a steady improvement for the Golden Eagle women’s basketball team under first-year head coach Sytia Messer. Now in her second season, Messer will be looking for bigger and better things out of her 2010-11 squad.
2010-11 Juniors
“The number one thing people will see out of us is hard work,” Messer says. “We will focus on our defense and play an up tempo style of play.” During her first season as head coach, Messer led the Golden Eagles to a 14-16 overall record and tied for fourth in the Ohio Valley Conference. Not bad for a team that was picked to finish eighth in the conference a year ago and welcomed seven new players. “Overall, I was pleased with how our coaches and players handled the expectations last season,” Messer said. “They did not take a play off the whole season and I was proud of them.” Messer’s team will feature seven returning players from last season, including all-OVC honorees in junior guard Tacarra Hayes and sophomore guard Kellie Cook. Tech also welcomes in seven newcomers to the squad who will bring a variety of experience.
Tech has three returning juniors this season in Rachel Glidden, Tacarra Hayes and Krystal Stirrup. “The main thing I expect out of the juniors is more leadership,” Messer said. “Last season as sophomores they logged a lot of minutes and gained a lot of experience.” Hayes is coming off an outstanding season where she led the Golden Eagles in most categories including points (506 16.9 ppg), rebounds (175 5.8 rpg) and assists (136 4.53 apg). She led the team in double-doubles with six and became just the fourth player at Tech to record a triple-double as she posted 15 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists against Morehead State. All these accomplishments led to Hayes being named to the all-OVC first team and the OVC Player of the Week twice last season. Glidden finished her 2009-10 campaign averaging 7.3 points per game, while starting in five contests. She also recorded 48 3-pointers, which ranked second on the team. Stirrup started in 13 games for Tech last season and averaged 7.2 points per game and shot a team best 47.8 percent from the field. She also tallied at least 10 points in 10 games last season and recorded her second double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds against Bluefield College.
2010-11 Staff 8
The Golden Eagles welcome back four sophomores in Katherine Barker, Kellie and Kylie Cook and Tiara Hopper.
TENNESSEE TECH WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE F 2010-11
2010-11 Season Preview
Last season saw Barker become a solid presence on defense as she held the OVC’s leading scorer Chynna Bozeman to a career-low three points, while Tiara Hopper recorded two double-doubles en route to earning her first OVC Player of the Week award.
2010-11 Newcomers
The Cook twins also provided a steadying force for Tech, as Kellie and Kylie were the only two players to start in all 30 games last season. Kellie finished second on the team in scoring with 377 points and recorded her first double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds against Morehead State. She also finished second on the team in rebounds with 142. Kellie was named the OVC Freshman of the Week once and was voted to the OVC all-newcomer team. Kylie finished her freshman season third on the team in scoring with 245 points and led the Golden Eagles from behind the three-point line with 55 field goals. She tallied at least 10 points in 12 games, including a career-high 18 against Air Force. Seven newcomers round off the Tech roster and they could contribute immediately. “I’m excited for the newcomers we have coming in,” Messer said. “They bring a lot of energy and they fit the system we are trying to run here at Tech.” Of the seven newcomers, two come to TTU with a few years of experience in Brittany Darling and Lashay Davis. Darling
spent two seasons at Owens Community College, in Ohio, where she averaged 10.9 points and 9.6 rebounds as a center. Davis transferred from Western Kentucky after averaging 7.4 points per game. Davis will not be eligible to play this season due to NCAA transfer rules. The Golden Eagles also welcome in Molly Heady, Diamond Henderson, Briana Jordan, Keisha Moore and Candace Parson. Heady and Parson will be expected to provide a solid presence at the post and center positions, while Henderson, Jordan and Moore will sure up the Tech backcourt. Joining Messer on the bench will be second-year assistant coach Coretta Brown, along with first year coaches Stacey Franklin and Steve Wallace. Franklin comes to Tech with over 14 years of coaching experience under her belt, while Wallace most recently served as the Director of Basketball Operations for the University of Rhode Island. The coaching staff will have to prepare for another challenging season as Tech will face another tough non-conference schedule as they take on the likes of Kentucky, Drake, Middle Tennessee and Belmont. The Golden Eagles begin conference play on the road as they take on Jacksonville State December 4 and will open its first home conference game against Eastern Illinois December 19. Tech concludes it regular season at home against JSU February 26.
2010-11 Sophomores
Entering the season as the eighth winningest program in NCAA history the 2010-11 Golden Eagles will look for their 35th winning season in program history.

Head Coach
Sytia
Messer
Head Coach
Second Season Arkansas (2000)
Some people say that the first step in any endeavor is usually the hardest one to take. In the case of Tennessee Tech women’s basketball coach Sytia Messer however, the first step showed a glimpse of what could be accomplished in her ensuing years as head coach of the Golden Eagle program. A native of Waldo, Ark., Messer’s main goal when she was named TTU head coach was to bring additional OVC Championships to Tech, something long-time followers of the women’s basketball team have become accustomed to. With three starters returning from last season including Tacarra Hayes, who was named first-team all-OVC last season, it is clear that another OVC crown is within their sights in Messer’s second year at the helm of the women’s basketball program.
The very idea that the Golden Eagles are one of the front-runners to win the conference this season is a testament to Messer’s coaching skills and recruiting. Her team will not boast any seniors this season and will rely on the youngsters that she has brought into the program. And, why shouldn’t Tech have high expectations in its youngster as Messer can boast not only the top recruiting class in the OVC, but also the highest-ranked recruiting class in the program’s history. Messer’s expertise in recruiting can be traced back to her days as a member of the Georgia Tech coaching staff where she rose to the rank of associate head coach. During her five seasons at Georgia Tech, Messer was the primary architect of five of Georgia Tech’s top recruiting classes. During the 2007-08 season Messer helped recruit the highest-ranked player to ever sign with the program, only to top that accolade a year later as her recruiting class was ranked as high as sixth in the nation. Along with her excellent recruiting skills, Messer also coaches with a level of intensity that will bring out the best in every player who dons a Tennessee Tech uniform. Messer’s intensity is not isolated on the court, however, as she expects the same kind of effort out of her players in the classroom and the community. During Messer’s first season, her players had a combined 3.2 GPA in the fall semester, and followed up with a 3.3 GPA in the spring semester en route to 15 AD Honor Roll selections and five OVC Commissioner Honor Roll selections. The Golden Eagles have also been visible in the community, as they have participated in a number of events including Habitat for Humanity and the Fall Fun Fest.

As a Razorback Messer led the team to a 22-11 record and an NCAA Final Four appearance in 1998 where she was named the Most Valuable Player for the West Regional. Messer and the Razorbacks followed up with a WNIT Championship in 1999. Over the course of her four seasons at Arkansas, Messer tallied 1,379 points to rank seventh on the all-time scorer’s list. Messer’s prowess was not limited to scoring, as she ranked 10th in career rebounding with 603, sixth in free throws made with 329 and fourth in career three pointers with 112. Messer’s players are seeing the same success as she enjoyed during her playing days on the court. Not only did the Golden Eagles make the OVC Tournament in Messer’s inaugural season, they also exceeded preseason expectations as they were picked to finish eighth in the OVC and finished fourth. Last season’s success was not limited to team accomplishments as several of Messer’s players were awarded for their individual performances. Guard Tacarra Hayes was named all-OVC first team as she led the team in a number of categories including points with 506 (16.9 ppg), which ranked second in the OVC last season. Hayes was also named the OVC Player of the Week twice. Guard Kellie Cook also raked in the awards as she was named to the OVC all-newcomer team and earned an OVC Freshman of the Week award. Forward Tiara Hopper also earned an OVC Freshman of the Week award. Messer and her squad have taken the first all-important step on their trail back to the top. This winter, they will continue their march back to an OVC Championship…and beyond.

“Playing overseas definitely made me appreciate my American heritage,” Brown said. “I’m a family oriented person so being away from my family was kind of tough.” Following her playing career, Brown spent two seasons with Georgia Tech as an administrative coordinator where she worked with coach Messer.

She was named to the all-SEC Freshman second-team in 1989 and garnered three all-SEC Academic Honor Roll nominations. Franklin led her team to 10 games of 100 or more points her senior season which still stands as the record at Alabama. While a player at UA, Franklin was involved in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, appeared on the Dean’s List on five occasions and was a nominee for the Paul “Bear” Bryant-Scholar Athlete Award. A native of Smyrna, Ga., Franklin attended Campbell High School, where she was a two-time Cobb County Player of the Year. She still ranks at the top scorer and rebounder in Campbell history. “Stacey has over 14 years of coaching experience at the highest level, and we feel very fortunate to have daily access to her knowledge and experience,” Messer said.
With Franklin on the bench at MSU, the Lady Bulldogs recorded 25 wins over ranked opponents, 18 of which were when MSU was not in the rankings. Franklin helped lead MSU to the program’s only SEC championship game in 2000 against Tennessee. Franklin also helped guide the Bulldogs to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history in the 1998-99 season. While on the recruiting trail, Franklin helped bring some of the top talent in the nation to Starkville. In addition, she helped coach two Kodak All-Americans in Tan White and LaToya Thomas, eight First-Team All SEC players, five SEC All-Freshmen Team honorees and 54 Academic All-SEC selections.

2009-10 Season In Review
The Golden Eagles faced some tough opponents to begin the 2009-10 season in Alabama, Baylor, Louisville and Middle Tennessee, with all of those games being away from Eblen Center. Despite the caliber of opponents, Tech was able to stake out a 5-5 record to start the season including a 68-59 OVC win at Jacksonville State.
The 8-10 conference record placed Tech in a three-way tie for fourth place in the OVC with UT Martin and Eastern Kentucky. TTU earned its first trip to the OVC Tournament in head coach Sytia Messer’s first season at the helm. The Golden Eagles eventually fell to the Lady Governors of Austin Peay to end their season with a 14-16 overall record.
Following the respectable start, the Golden Eagles struggled early in OVC play as they went 4-9, with no wins coming on the road to bring their record to 9-14. In those nine losses however, Tech was usually right with the its opponent as it lost six games by 10 points or fewer and four of those losses were by five points or less.
Despite not having the ending they would have liked, the Golden Eagles saw success on the individual level as Tacarra Hayes and Kellie Cook earned several OVC honors.
With their backs to the wall the Golden Eagles responded decisively as they won five of their last six contests, including wins over Murray State, UT Martin, Tennessee State and JSU to bring their regular season record to 14-15.

The Ohio Valley Conference
From left: Beth DeBauche, Ohio Valley Conference Commissioner; Brad Walker, Associate Commissioner/Chief Operating Officer; Jennifer Gibbs, Assistant Commissioner for Championships; Kyle Schwartz, Assistant Commissioner for Media Relations; Brian Pulley, Assistant Commissioner for External Affairs; Matthew Banker, Assistant Commissioner for Institutional Services; Heather Brown, Director of Media Relations.
Entering its 63rd year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. For only the second time in a decade, the Conference expanded by adding Southern Illinois University Edwardsville as the league’s 11th member in 2008. The move expanded the OVC’s geographical footprint to the St. Louis market and marked the first change in membership since expanding to the state of Alabama (Jacksonville State, Samford) in 2003. The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commissioner in league history on July 28. She is currently one of just five females to be the head of a Division I conference, and one of just eight to lead a Division I conference all-time. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the Mid-American Conferences. The OVC’s proud past dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. Discussions were put on hold by World War II but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville merged to form the OVC. Tennessee Tech joined the OVC the following year. In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially, breaking racial barriers to providde educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans. Through the past 62 years, 14 teams have won or shared the league’s football title. The list is led by Eastern Kentucky, winner of 20 outright or shared football crowns, including both the 2007 and 2008 championships. Former member Middle Tennessee is next with 11 titles, followed by Tennessee Tech with nine. The first Division I-AA/FCS football playoff was held in 1978 with only four teams, which is the only year through present day that the OVC did not field a playoff representative. In 2008, the NCAA Board of Directors approved an expansion to the FCS Playoffs, incrasing the playoff field to 20 teams beginnings in the 2010 season. In the late 1970s, women’s athletics began somewhat of a rebirth on the national scene as the NCAA began sponsoring and marketing women’s sports. Recognizing the need to provide increased opportunities for female athletes, the OVC established women’s championships in the sports of basketball, tennis and track in 1977, with cross country and volleyball added
over the next four years. Those sports were initially governed by the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW), but the overall strength of women’s programs in the league was demonstrated by the automatic bids the OVC instantly received when the NCAA became the governing body in 1982. The playing field is not the only place where OVC athletes are working hard. The league also recognizes excellence in the classroom. Six Scholar-Athlete Awards are presented yearly to male and female athletes, while others are commended for their academic success by being Medal of Honor recipients or earning a spot on the Commissioner’s Honor Roll. Additionally, the league annually presents one institutional Academic Achievement Award, as well as separate team awards in each Conference-sponsored sport. Since the College Sports Information Directors of American (CoSIDA) Academic All-America program began, the Ohio Valley Conference has had 192 student-athletes honored with the award, including 25 over the last two years (2008-09 to the present). Through the early years of the league, administrators wrestled with fan behavior due to the close proximity of the Conference members and the intense rivalries which developed. Just as it did decades ago, the OVC took the leadership
The Ohio Valley Conference 215 Centerview Drive, Suite 115 Brentwood, Tenn. 37027 (615) 371-1698 www.ovcsports.com
role on what has become a national issue. In 1995, the OVC implemented a first-of-its-kind “Sportsmanship Statement,” a policy which promotes principles of fair play, ethical conduct and respect for one’s opponent. The statement has become a model for others to follow across the nation, and has answered the challenge of the NCAA Presidents Commission to improve sportsmanship in collegiate athletics. Additionally, the OVC annually presents the Steve Hamilton Sportsmanship Award, in honor of the former Morehead State student-athlete, coach and athletics director, to a junior or senior student-athlete with significant athletic contributions who best exemplifies the characteristics of sportsmanship and citizenship. Most recently, the Conference has also implemented the OVC Institutional and Team Sportsmanship Awards, which are presented to one institution and 18 sportspecific teams voted by their peers to have best exhibited the standards of sportsmanship and ethical conduct as outlined by the OVC and NCAA. The vision of leadership demonstrated by the Founding Fathers in 1948 remains alive today as the Ohio Valley Conference prepares for the future. One example is in regard to the current trend in collegiate athletics administration for increased involvement of university presidents in setting policies and making rules. The presidents of OVC institutions, however, have always governed the Conference, long before presidential governance became a national theme. The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle. Now in its seventh decade of competition, the Ohio Valley Conference has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athletics opportunities it provides for students. Current league representatives include charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Eastern Illinois University, Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin.

ATHLETIC ADMINISTRATION DR. ROBERT (BOB) BELL University President - Florida 1969 Dr. Robert (Bob) Bell, now in his 11th year as President of Tennessee Tech, is an avid supporter of TTU and Ohio Valley Conference sports. He currently chairs the OVC President’s Board of Directors. Bell became TTU’s President in 2000 after serving as dean, associate dean, assistant dean, and a chairperson in the university’s College of Business. After taking the post, he oversaw the reorganization of the athletics department, bringing in a full-time athletic director for the first time in almost 20 years. He has also been involved in statewide economic development on behalf of the Tennessee Higher Education Commission, working on the THEC master plan focusing on links among higher education and stakeholders in business, health care and state government. Bell has served four terms on the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award’s Board of Examiners and was appointed a charter member of the Tennessee Center for Performance Excellence in 1992, serving on the group’s panel of judges from 1994 to 2005. He represented Tennessee as a state delegate to the White House Conference on North American Free Trade Agreement in 1994 and spent two years as an economic development consultant for the nation of Mauritius.
Dr. Bell has served on or chaired a variety of professional, regional and national organizations, including the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business International, the Southern Business Association, the North American Case Research Association, the Tennessee College Association, and a number of Tennessee higher education task forces, among others. In 2005, Bell was named the first recipient of the Ned R. McWherter Leadership Award, presented by the Tennessee Center for Performance Excellence. In the scholarly arena, he has been published extensively in the fields of management, organizational design, computer science and quality/productivity management, authoring two books and more than 70 articles, case studies and papers. Bell is also well known and respected in the Cookeville community.

A past president of the local YMCA, Bell currently chairs the Cookeville Industrial Development Board and is a member of the Board of Directors for CityScape and Blood Assurance Corp.

He is also a member of the Cookeville Rotary and Evening Lions Clubs.
MARK WILSON Director of Athletics - Maine 1991 Mark Wilson’s first six years as Director of Athletics at Tennessee Tech have been highlighted by vision, energy, and enthusiasm. Those factors have facilitated growth and excellence in all areas and have placed the focus on generating a better student-athlete experience. Wilson is currently serving an appointment on the NCAA Leadership Council through April, 2011. It gives the Ohio Valley Conference, TTU and Wilson a voice in a variety of strategic decisions that can affect intercollegiate athletics. Wilson, 41, has led athletics to several milestone accomplishments during his first six years, including enhanced facilities and fund raising, high profile staff additions, and compliance and academic success. Under Wilson’s guidance, the program has continued to focus on the academic success of its student-athletes, with soaring numbers each semester on the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll. Tech’s studentathletes have achieved their highest overall combined semester GPAs. Wilson also developed a strategic plan for Tech’s athletic facilities and has already seen some of those plans become reality. During the past three years Tech has completed several construction projects to athletic facilities, including resurfacing the outdoor tennis courts, a new natural grass practice field, installation of new turf in Tucker Stadium, renovating the running track, renovating the football offices, meeting rooms and locker rooms, and new lights at Tucker Stadium. Most recently, Athletics opened a spacious, new basketball office complex in
80
Eblen Center and construction is underway on an new Athletic Performance Center on the western edge of campus. Additional building plans call for a new student-athlete center. Another step achieved under Wilson’s direction has been increased fund raising and development efforts with the goal of providing the necessary resources for Tech’s student-athletes, coaches and staff. All of those accomplishments have come while the department has continued to stay focused on compliance with all NCAA rules and regulations. Wilson was named Director of Athletics on July 1, 2004. He came to Tennessee Tech from Ohio University. Since his first day at Tech, Wilson has made rapid and steady progress. He began by restructuring the department and implementeing plans for a better student-athlete experience. In addition, athletics launched a dynamic new website, gained NCAA certification and was found in complete compliance, created a far-reaching “WIN” program for academic success, opened an entertaining and popular Tailgate Park, and started plans for two capital projects. Before going to Ohio, Mark served as the Director of Athletic Marketing for the University of Massachusetts. He also worked as a graduate assistant in the UMass athletic department and interned with the Northwestern University ticketing and marketing departments. Wilson received his bachelor’s degree in 1991 from the University of Maine in physical education and health, and earned his master’s in sports management from the University of Massachusetts in 1994. Mark and his wife, Michelle, have two daughters, Katey (15) and Meaghan (10).

ACADEMIC SUPPORT
Winning in the Classroom Tennessee Tech’s commitment to its student-athletes is evident. The support personnel and resources available provide Golden Eagle student-athletes with the tools needed for success. The success of Tennessee Tech University’s athletic teams is tied closely to the academic progress of each student-athlete, and the academic performance of each Tech student-athlete is closely monitored by the coaching staff as well as an experienced staff in Academic Services. Tech’s student-athletes continue to excel in the classroom. Each semester, the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll pays tribute to more than 150 students in athletics, including athletes, trainers, managers and cheerleaders, and the overall GPA of the department has climbed steeply in the past seven semesters. Student-athletes are the most visible component of a university, entertaining thousands of fans, students, alumni, family and friends. Their athletic abilities and achievements are a focus for national attention, as athletic events not only bring back faithful alumni, but serve as a welcome mat to the university for potential new stu- Marilyn Borch-Jensen dents. Academic Student-athletes devote many hours to practice, conditioning and training in an effort to be the best they Advisement can be. These hours are not required by non-athletes in the student body, and these extra demands can compete Secretary with academics for the student-athlete’s time and energy. The Tech Athletics Department works to provide help with course content (through tutors and monitored study hours) as well as with time management and study skills and any other academic support services that will allow Tech student-athletes to maximize their academic potential.

Dr. LANCE JASITT Assistant Athletics Director / Academics and Student Welfare
Dr. Lance Jasitt serves as Assistant Athletics Director for Academics and Student Welfare. He has served in compliance and administrative operations roles in the Tech Athletics Department since 1998. Dr. Jasitt plays a key role in the academic success of each of Tech’s varsity student-athletes, managers, and graduate assistants. His primary goals are to provide guidance and academic resources to permit student-athletes to maintain their academic eligibility under NCAA rules and to progress to graduation. In this process, Dr. Jasitt serves as a primary liaison between coaches and faculty. A detail-oriented person and a diligent worker, Dr. Jasitt has developed a solid understanding of the operations of the Athletics Department, the staff and the needs of its student-athletes. In addition to his administrative role within Athletics, Dr. Jasitt is also highly involved in promoting reading and literacy at all age levels. He was the 2008-09 president of the TTU Council of the International Reading Association and is still actively involved in that organization. He also has served on the President’s Commission on the Status of Women for seven years. Raised in York, Pa., he earned a bachelor’s degree from Penn State University in 1978 and added a master’s in public administration from Valdosta State University in 1987. In 1993, he received a master’s degree in education from Old Dominion University and added a Ph.D. in literacy education from Tennessee Tech in 2004. Dr. Jasitt is a former Commander in the U.S. Navy. His wife of 30 years, Donna White Jasitt, is a former Captain in the U.S. Navy Reserve. They have two children, Ian and Meagan. Ian recently reeived his second degree from Tech, this one in Environmental Geology. Meagan is a senior Pre-Physical Therapy major at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
The “WIN” program: Work Intensely Now The WIN Program was implemented in the fall semester of 2004 to provide additional support for freshmen and student-athletes whose general academic progress places them at risk for maintaining eligibility and graduating. The program involves the student-athlete, coach(es), academic advisor, tutors, and others to build academic skills for success. Participation in the program is primarily based on grades, and coaches or the academic advisor may recommend additional participation at any time. All incoming freshmen meet at least one time per week with their coach to discuss academic progress and needs as well as time management and study skill techniques. Other aspects of the program include monitored study hours, tutoring, and study skills workshops.

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING
Emphasizing Player DEVELOPMENT The Tennessee Tech strength and conditioning program is a blend of science, technology, nutrition and one-on-one attention to each athlete. Golden Eagle student-athletes make a year-round commitment to physically preparing to play their sport at the highest level. At TTU, a program is tailored to match each student-athlete’s individual needs with the sport-specific physical demands. This includes strength, speed, power, agility, flexibility, metabolic conditioning and motivation. This combination allows Tennessee Tech’s student-athletes to better reach their specific goals. Another major focus of the strength staff is the development of sport-specific speed, agility and conditioning.
CHIP PUGH Head Strength and Conditioning Coach

TENNESSEE TECH WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE F 2010-11
By taking advantage of expert instruction, Golden Eagle student-athletes are afforded every opportunity to maximize their athletic potential Development of Core Strength Imagine the body is a 3-link chain with the head and arms being one link, the torso.trunk being the second link and the legs being the third link. If the core link (trunk/torso) is weak or inflexible, there is little chance of maximizing potential because all body movement stems from the core.
Make workouts short and intense There are many philosophies on how to get athletes stronger, faster and more flexible. But, when combined, these philosophies have the same three underlying principles: a) The workouts should be highly organized b) The workouts should be short in duration c) The workouts should be extremely intense
Train using ground-based, mulit-joint lifting versus machine lifting The following are recommendations for athletes Most athletes participate in stand up power sports using concerning days and times of strength training many muscle groups at once. The emphasis of training (including warmups): should be on total body athleticism and flexibility rather than * In-season: 3 days / week; 30-40 minutes/workout having body weight supported by a machine and forcing * Post-season: 3-4 days / week; 45-60 minutes/workout isolation of just one muscle group. By incorporating ground* Pre-season: 4 days / week; 50-60 minutes/workout based lifts and exercises that focus on the total body, the athlete becomes more prepared to use their whole body in sport skills.
Assistant Strength Coaches
Train for Power (which results in increased speed) Power = (Mass Moved x Distance)/time. The less time it takes to move a mass a certain distance, the higher the output. As seen in the above formula, an increase in speed of movements results in an increase in power. Train Athleticism Many factors are included in athleticism: strength, power, speed, agility, flexibility, coordination, fitness level and mental toughness are just a few. It is the goal to maximize an athlete’s overall athleticism.

Train as a Team When teams train together, it provides another opportunity to develop chemistry, teamwork, leadership skills and a competitive environment. Within this competitive environment, teams can work on mental toughness, attacking the weights and maintaining a positive attitude. By enabling athletes to work on these things as a team, it helps to promote a stronger sense of unity, therefore making it harder to “fold” under pressure.

Where Quality Counts
For nearly 100 years, Tennessee Tech has served the various needs of the region, the state and beyond. Not only is Tech renowned as a fine institution of higher education, it also serves as a public resource center and encourages scholarly research and creative activity by its faculty and students. Today, Tech makes a number of contributions to economic development locally, regionally and nationally. Tech’s 65,000-plus alumni occupy positions of leadership in education, business, industry, government and public service. Tennessee Tech is widely known as an institution noted for its academic quality -- an institution where the energies of the faculty, staff and students are devoted to ensuring that the university’s quality is maintained and enhanced. The university’s vision is guided by the “T.E.C.H.” framework — technological leadership, enrollment growth, a caring campus, and high quality. The university is divided into seven academic divisions offering 44 programs of study leading to the bachelor’s degree and 20 programs of study at the graduate level. More than 75 percent of the 370 full-time faculty members hold doctoral degrees. Considered one of the most picturesque campuses in the South -and one of the safest -- the buildings carry an attractive Georgian style of architecture that lends the Tech campus an Ivy-league character. Tech was established in 1915 as Tennessee Polytechnic Institute, located on the site of its forerunner, Dixie College. TPI gained university
Why we're the Golden Eagles
status in 1965, reflecting the institution’s role as a multipurpose, state-supported university. Tech’s current enrollment continues to include students from almost all 95 Tennessee counties, along with students from more than 40 other states and about 40 foreign countries.
Campus Life
Tennessee Tech students know that there is a lot more to college life than what goes on in the classroom. Nearly 200 student organizations on campus offer activities ranging from academic, athletic, cultural, political, community-oriented, social to spiritual. At Tech, it’s easy to get involved and make friends. Campus recreation coordinates 11 intramural and club sports: basketball, bowling, flag football, golf, racquetball, rugby, soccer, softball, tennis, volleyball and wrestling. The Fitness Center is a free, full-service health club for students. It houses a fully equipped weight room, 25-meter indoor pool, cardiovascular equipment and an indoor track. Tech is also a center for the arts, presenting concerts, theatre productions, lectures, dance performances, films, workshops, demonstrations and art exhibits each year. And, of course there’s always an athletics event to attend. Tennessee Tech’s athletic teams compete in the Ohio Valley Conference for 14 sports on the NCAA Division I level, and students can attend all regular season athletic events absolutely free!
The Tennessee Tech Athletic Department unveiled a new brand on Aug. 31, 2006, with an all-new set of logos for the Golden Eagles. The brand is new, but the tradition remains -the name Golden Eagles. How did TTU adopt the name? In the first quarter of this century, Tennessee Polytechnic Institute was a tiny school, located in the rugged, mountainous Upper Cumberland region where Golden Eagles were plentiful, soaring above the lush, upland forests. It's easy to understand how those early students and faculty could narrow their choices for their athletic team's nicknames to "Golden Eagles" or "Mountaineers." On February 14, 1925, the nickname "Golden Eagles " was officially adopted. The school newspaper, The Oracle, printed a story that outlined the efforts of a committee to suggest several possible nicknames to Athletic Association members for their consideration. The two most popular names were "Golden Eagles" and "Mountaineers," and the association, by a vote of 139-18, proudly declared its preference. It wasn't until 27 years later that a tangible mascot found its way to the campus. Several Tech
students braved a driving night rainstorm to pilfer a huge block-tin eagle statue from the charred ruins of a resort hotel in Monteagle. They painted the creature - with a wingspan of over six feet - a glistening gold, and suspended it from the rafter for public inspection at the following day's basketball game in Memorial Gym. Then-Governor Frank G. Clement, a lifelong friend of the hotel owner, was in Cookeville to speak . He worked out a compromise between his friend and the school students, who wanted to retain the eagle as their mascot. Over the years, a wide variety of artwork and drawings have been used to represent the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles. Some of those include a drawing which appeared in media guides in the mid 1970s, and a cartoon-style mascots in the early 1980s that was dubbed ‘the purple chicken” by Tech students.

here's no question Tennessee Tech University is a great place to get an education. And Cookeville is a great college town. The largest micropolitan area in Tennessee and one of the top 40 micropolitan areas in the nation, Cookeville has consistently been rated among the top 10 most affordable regions in the nation. Cookeville boasts a mild climate, with an average temperature of 57 and four distinct seasons. Located within a day's drive of 75 percent of the nation's population, Cookeville is just off Interstate 40, which runs from the east coast to California. City life is easily accessible, as well, because Cookeville is situated within 100 miles of Nashville, Knoxville and Chattanooga — three of Tennessee's major metropolitan areas. The seat of Putnam County, Cookeville is the heart of a three-county alliance known as the Highlands, which centers Tennessee's 14-county Upper Cumberland region. We have hundreds of acres of unspoiled nature — from championship golf courses to natural preserves, state parks and top-rated lakes — close to home.There's plenty of nature inside the city limits, too; the City of Cookeville tends nine parks, including Cane Creek Park, a 262-acre natural area with a 56-acre lake. And while Cookeville is a relatively small town, we have no lack of culture. We are one of the smallest cities in the U.S. with a full-blown symphony orchestra, and our area attracts visual artists and craftspeople from across the nation, thanks to the Appalachian Center for Craft, a satellite campus of TTU. Drama also takes center stage here, with the 456-seat Cookeville Performing Arts Center cranking out productions year-round, including the award-winning Drama Center Backstage series. Cookeville is home to three museums — the Cookeville Depot Museum, the Cookeville History Museum and the Cookeville Children's Museum — and a year-round slate of events, including regular excursion trains and the annual Fall FunFest. A walkable downtown shopping district and an impressive roster of national chain stores give the retail segment a small-town feel with big-city convenience. Add to that our more than 100 restaurants and 1,400 hotel rooms, and you'll quickly see that Cookeville offers something for everyone.
