The approach is consistent; steady and unchanging.
Dave Lawson, whistle typically gripped in one hand on a string around his neck, asks the same of his Tennessee football players as the Vols' strength and conditioning head man entering his third year as he did in his first: shape and enhance their frames for violence.
"It's really not changed from Year 1; you want to be as strong as you can be. Coach (Butch Jones) uses the term, your body is your weapon," said Lawson, UT's third-year strength and conditioning leader. "With football and this conference, this is the most physical, most athletic, fastest conference in college football, you're going to have violent, violent collisions. It's a violent game at this level. They want to be as strong as they can be, as flexible as they can be to try and prevent injuries. With strength, you get power, from power you get speed. They all tie into together."
