Outlook The Tennessee Tech softball team will have a new look in 2013 as former Golden Eagle Bonnie Bynum takes over the helm. The team returns six starters and two pitchers but loses four starters including first-team All-OVC pitcher Holly Thomas. "Losing somebody like Holly, who pitches so many innings, could be a detriment to any team," Bynum said. "But I think the team is ready to step up, especially our senior class. The group we have this year has a sense of energy that is very exciting.� The Golden Eagles open the 2013 season this weekend at the Georgia Southern Invitational in Statesboro, Ga. Here's a capsule look at the team. Pitchers / Catchers Senior Claudia Harke will lead the Golden Eagles in the circle in 2013. The lefty out of Kimberly, Wis., had a 2.72 ERA to go along with 53 strikeouts and a 1-6 record last season. "We've got a great senior pitcher in Harke," Bynum said. "She'll be the backbone of our pitching staff, and she loves the role of leading this team. I think Claudia is ready to step into Holly's role." Joining Harke in the circle will be sophomore Taylor Ketchum. Ketchum fell third in line last season, starting 13 games and collecting a 3.04 ERA. Ketchum pitched 71.1 innings with a 3-8 record. "Taylor is working her way back into the rotation after surgery
in the offseason. It's been a slow and steady process but she'll be back and ready to play come conference," Bynum said. Rounding out the staff are sophomore Erica Tuck and freshmen Hannah Weaver and Katie Whetstone. "Erica is looking to be our number two," Bynum said. "She's gotten a lot more consistent since this fall and we'll definitely have a good one-two punch with her and Claudia. We'll look to the underclassman to contribute, get their innings and gain some experience." Behind the plate will be a trio of catchers: junior Kendall Hooper, sophomore Mekenzie Weems and newcomer Chelsea Burgess. During her Golden Eagle career, Hooper has seen action in 64 games initially being utilized as a pinch runner or hitter. After her freshman campaign, Hooper found her way into the starting lineup for 38 contests, contributing the team's highest slugging percentage at .410. In the off-season Hooper has hit the weight room hard and it paid off when she was awarded the All-American Strength and Conditioning Athlete of the Year by National Strength and Conditioning Association. Newcomer Chelsea Burgess adds another dimension to the Golden Eagles as the transfer helped Chattanooga State win the NJCAA National Championship. "Burgess and Hooper have done a really good job of leading this team vocally and especially on offense." Weems should fill in behind the plate on occasion, but is currently battling an injury and could find herself redshirting her sophomore season. Infield There will be many times that you will see Tech's entire senior class in the Golden Eagle infield during 2013. Around the horn, that group includes twin sisters Brittney and Chanelle Spalding anchoring the corners with Melody Christian seeing action as a backup second baseman. Brittney Spalding should continue to be a steady presence for the Golden Eagles at the hot corner. She fielded the position for the past four seasons, recording 72 putouts and 144 assists for a .939 fielding

Outlook
percentage. "Brittney brings a lot of the energy to the team. She keeps the team up as the ups and downs of the game don't affect her. She keeps everyone focused, keeps everyone talking, and with her on the corner, she's a great asset to the younger players that will be playing infield." Brittney's sister, Chanelle, looks to build upon a stellar junior campaign for her final season in a Golden Eagle uniform. Last season, Chanelle recorded a team-high 416 putouts defensively, but also provided 26 runs, 48 base hits and 14 RBIs. "If Chanelle keeps hitting the way she's been hitting, she's going to have a fantastic year. She's just awesome at the plate. Just like Brittney, she keeps her teammates energized." Several other players may see time on the dirt, including freshman Courtney Fry at second base and sophomore Hannah Eldridge. "Those two are going to be new in the middle, but they've done a really good job of talking and being a presence while making that transition." Outfield Tech's outfield will be one of the team's strengths in 2013. "We've got speed in all three positions. It's going to be hard for any ball to drop out there," Bynum said. Golden Eagle senior Melody Christian played the majority of last season in centerfield and will be relied upon to anchor the trio of outfielders. "Melody is definitely our go-to fielder for the year."
Angi Sakamoto will also return to the grass, but injury may delay her presence in the beginning of the season. "Only time will tell when she will be back in full swing, but she's really working towards that," Bynum said. Schedule The Golden Eagles are slated to go up against 35 different teams this season, and host 15 home games at the Tech Softball Field. The Golden Eagles will open up the 2013 schedule with five tournaments across the southern part of the country before making their way back to Cookeville for their home opener, March 23. "Our schedule is pretty good this year. We don't have a lot of mid-week games this season, which means we should be refreshed and energized on the weekend. It gives us a little bit more down time to work on things and harness in on the fundamentals. It's going to be a tough schedule, but hopefully we can come out with quite a few wins this season." Overview The Golden Eagles were picked to finish second in the East Division in Ohio Valley Conference preseason polls. "We have a great group of kids that are going to make the best of the experience that they were handed," Bynum said. "In a lot of ways, I think it has brought the girls closer together and really bonded them as a team. I'm really looking forward to a really fun year."

The most successful pitcher in Ohio Valley Conference history, Bynum returned in May to her alma mater as assistant coach after five seasons on the Western Kentucky University softball coaching staff. “I’m excited to have the opportunity to build on an already great program that Coach Acheson has established and I’m looking forward to the future of Tennessee Tech softball,” Bynum said. “I want to thank Tory for everything he has done for me in my career, both as a player and as a coach.” Bynum worked the past five seasons with the pitching staff at WKU, culminating in allregion and all-Sun Belt Conference honors for the team’s ace. “Bonnie understands the craft of pitching, she understands the game of softball, and she understands student-athletes,” Wilson said. “She will be a tremendous asset to 8
Head Coach Tennessee Tech softball as head coach, the same way she was as a student-athlete.� Bynum currently holds every OVC pitching record except one (which is held by another former Tech pitcher), and was twice named as Tech’s Outstanding Female Athlete. A two-time OVC Pitcher of the Year in 2006 and 2007, she was a three-time firstteam all-OVC selection. She also won three consecutive OVC Tournament MVP honors. As a junior, she was named the Outstanding Female Athlete for the entire OVC. In the circle for Tech, she was a four-year letterwinner and starter under Acheson. She posted a school- and OVC-record 103 career victories including 34 wins as a senior in 2007. All told, she appeared in 193 games, throwing 1,021 strikeouts and six no-hitters. She finished '07 ranked seventh nationally in victories. During her senior year, she posted a 1.50 earned run average, throwing 33 complete games and 11 shutouts while pitching over 300 innings.

Tennessee Tech
Newsweek names TTU among most affordable universities in the nation Where Quality Counts
campus life
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.
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.
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 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.
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!
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 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.

MARK
WILSON - Director of Athletics UNIVERSITY OF MAINE, 1991
Mark Wilson’s first eight years as Director of Athletics at Tennessee Tech have showcased his vision, energy, and enthusiasm for providing outstanding experiences for Tech’s studentathletes and fans. Highlights of his efforts include major improvements in Tennessee Tech’s athletics facilities including the Basketball Coach’s Complex and the Athletic Performance Center, high graduation and APR rates by Golden Eagle student-athletes, outstanding academic success, and excellent relationships with the campus, community and alumni. In short, Wilson has facilitated growth and excellence in all areas of TTU Athletics. In June, Wilson agreed to a five-year contract extension, keeping him at the helm of the Golden Eagle athletics program through 2017. Coming off an appointment on the NCAA Leadership Council, Wilson is beginning a four-year term on the NCAA Division I Football Championship Committee and Division I Football Issues Committee, and has been very active in the Ohio Valley Conference governance structure. Wilson, 43, has led Athletics to several milestone accomplishments during his first eight 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 student-athletes 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 five years, Tech has completed several construction and renovation projects to athletic facilities, including a spectacular, new Athletic Performance Center on the western edge of campus, a spacious, new basketball office complex in Eblen Center, 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.
ranked first in the nation for cumulative team GPA for the second time in four years. Just as important are the relationships that Wilson has developed and nurtured, including the Cookeville-Putnam County Chamber of Commerce, the student body, the campus community and the region at-large. His leadership has been instrumental in the overwhelming success in the community’s host role at Tucker Stadium for the annual Blue Cross Bowl for the TSSAA high school state championship football games. Tech has also seen growth in regional and national media exposure for its studentathletes and coaches while his hand-on approach to marketing and branding Golden Eagle Athletics has earned increased opportunities and involvement for fans and sponsors. Some of the ideas he has implemented include the Purple Pride Caravans, a new athletics logo and branding marks that have gained nationwide recognition, and an updated and modern ticketing system. Under Wilson’s direction, Tech is also on the brink of introducing an enhanced digital video presence for athletics, including free live web streaming productions and a variety of additional video programs, interviews and features that will give fans, alumni and supporters greater access to Golden Eagle teams, student-athletes, coaches and staff. During his tenure, Wilson has successfully selected and hired head coaches for six of the school’s 14 teams, and three of those hires have earned Ohio Valley Conference Coach of the Year honors. Another highly visible product of Wilson’s leadership is the increased fan support at Golden Eagle events. Last year, while winning the OVC Championship for the first time in 36 years, the Tech football team drew the largest average home attendance at Tucker Stadium in 25 years. In February, Tech set a school record for the largest attendance at a women’s basketball game. Wilson was named Director of Athletics on July 1, 2004. He came to Tennessee Tech from a position of Associate Athletics Director at Ohio University. Prior to that, he served as the Director of Athletic Marketing for the University of Massachusetts, 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 has two daughters, Katey (17) and Meaghan (12).
Additional building plans call for a new student-athlete center and an on-campus tennis center. Another step achieved under Wilson’s direction has been increased fund raising and development efforts with the goal of providing the necessary facilities and 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. The most recent NCAA announcements show that all 14 of Tech’s athletic programs are comfortably above the benchmark for compliance in the Athletic Progress Rate (APR), including two Tech teams winning Public Recognition Awards. Prior to that, the Golden Eagle softball team

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 academics/student welfare roles within Athletics, he has served in compliance and administrative operations roles in the Tech Athletics
Department since 1998. 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 actively involved in that organization. He also has served on the President’s Commission on the Status of Women for seven years.

The “WIN” program: Work Intensely Now
Marilyn Borch-Jensen Academic Advisement Secretary
Virginia Lewis Academic Coordinator
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.
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 studentathlete is closely monitored by the coaching staff as well as an experienced staff in Academic Services, led by Dr. Lance Jasitt. 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 students. Student-athletes devote many hours to practice, conditioning and training in an effort to be the best they can be. These hours are not required by non-athletes in the student body, and these extra demands can compete 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.

CHIP
PUGH - Head Strength & Conditioning Coach OHIO UNIVERSITY, 2000
Chip Pugh is in his fifth year as Tennessee Tech’s strength and conditioning head coach. He oversees the physical development of student-athletes in all 14 sports, providing support in building toward championships. Pugh served three years in the same position at Winthrop University where he created and developed a highly successful strength and conditioning program that helped win 12 conference championships. An alumnus of Ohio University, he was an offensive lineman on the football team while earning a bachelor’s degree in sport industry and a master’s degree in physical education. Pugh believes that the qualities that athletes can develop in strength and conditioning will not only aid in their athletic development, but will also help them build quality character components necessary for life. A native of Parkersburg, W. Va., he began his coaching career at his alma mater as an assistant strength and conditioning coach where he primarily worked with men’s and women’s track, men’s and women’s swimming, and
women’s soccer. He also assisted coach Ethan Reeve, currently the head strength and conditioning coach at Wake Forest, with football while at Ohio. After leaving Ohio University he became the head strength and conditioning coach for football at Marietta (Ohio) College, where he also worked as an assistant football coach. Additionally, during his two years at Marietta College he also served as a campus minister to the college. Pugh is a certified member of the National Strength and Conditioning Association and the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches’ Association. He also holds the Club Coach certification through USA Weightlifting. He is a Level-I certified CrossFit trainer and conducts personal training classes open to the public using the CrossFit methods. Chip and his wife, the former Nicole Carey, were married July 29, 2000. They live in Cookeville, where they are active in sprint triathlons and CrossFit. The couple has one daughter, Rory Love Pugh, born October 16, 2010. Their family grew to four on June 12, 2012, with the arrival of their second daughter, Reagan Mercy Pugh.
Tennessee Tech’s strength and conditioning program features: • Strength and conditioning coaches • A wide variety of workout stations at the new Athletic Performance Center • A comprehensive obstacle course • Nutrition analysis • Complete conditioning regimen
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.

Strength & Conditioning
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. Train using ground-based, multi-joint lifting versus machine lifting Most athletes participate in stand up power sports using many muscle groups at once. The emphasis of training should be on total body athleticism and flexibility rather than having body weight supported by a machine and forcing isolation of just one muscle group. By incorporating ground-based lifts and exercises that focus on the total body, the athlete becomes more prepared to use their whole body in sport skills.
By taking advantage of expert instruction, Golden Eagle student-athletes are afforded every opportunity to maximize their athletic potential. 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, thus making it harder to “fold” under pressure. 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 The following are recommendations for athletes concerning days and times of strength training (including warmups): • In-season: 3 days / week; 30-40 minutes/workout • Postseason: 3-4 days / week; 45-60 minutes/workout • Pre-season: 4 days / week; 50-60 minutes/workout

After producing more than 100 videos during the 2011-12 academic year, Tech Athletics looks to continue its visual media efforts by providing quality videos on a regular basis. From feature stories and behind-the-scenes pieces to highlights and press conferences, the TTUSports1 YouTube channel is the exclusive home for Tech video content.

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.
