‘"I’m a big believer in weightlifting. That’s all I do in the off-season. Even though I’m not a big guy, I always try to be bigger in the weight room. I lift six days a week (in the off-season). I started sophomore year in high school. I learned that was the best thing to do to stay healthy. This year, it was even more important because (coaches told me) I had to get bigger and stronger."’
