In May of 1996, Suttles was selected by the International Sports Science Association as a Master Specialist in Speed, Strength, and Conditioning. He is recognized as one of the leaders in the world in the profession of sports development. We are also working to build team unity by not allowing any negatives to creep into our system. I will not allow any put-downs or negative comments to control my time with the team. I constantly tell each player to defend his teammates.
Unity is the key to becoming successful.
This team must gel both on and off the field to have success this season. Suttles has devised a plan to have position-specific athletes, rather than having every player do the same lifts and become the same size. We do not need to have our quarterback the same size as some of our offensive linemen. Their jobs on the field are not the the same. Instead, we are working specifically with each athlete and developing a weight-lifting program to improve the player at their position.
