Much of the work it takes to become a successful student-athlete at Wake Forest University doesn't happen on the playing field, the practice facility, the library or even the classroom. In order to become the best they can possibly be, the athlete's journey starts in the weight room. Ethan Reeve is in his seventh year as the head strength and conditioning coach at Wake Forest, while Todd Hemrick begins his firstseason with Wake Forest and the women's soccer program. He has implemented a program that challenges each and every player to the utmost. It is his goal to help each player maximize his or her potential while adding speed, strength and agility. Under the direction of Reeve, the Wake Forest strength and conditioning program has adopted a new, aggressive attitude in making a commitment to winning. This commitment applies to the team's efforts on the field and to its hard work and dedication in the weight room. "We expect a total commitment from every player when he or she steps into the strength room," Reeve said. "If our student-athletes are not attacking the weights, if they are not moving the bar quickly, we point out that is not acceptable. Every player must make a commitment to get stronger, to be more powerful and more explosive." To fulfill this commitment, Wake Forest has totally redesigned its Bob McCreary Strength and Conditioning Center at the direction of Reeve. Inside the 7,000 square foot center there are 20 workstations that each include a power rack, Olympic lifting platform, squat stand, bumper and steel plates, a complete dumbbell system set from 10-125 pounds, a set of kettlebells (26, 36, 53, and 72 pounds) and a 0-90 degree utility bench.

Also available are wrestler twists pieces, medicine balls, quick feet ladders, wooden pushing and pulling sleds, chin-up bars and a 10 by 30 foot tumbling mat. Reeve and his assistants, Mike Tolloti and David Bass, are constantly monitoring the progress of Wake Forest athletes as well as the innovations in their developing field. "What makes a difference is the work habits of the student-athletes," Reeve said. "They have made a year-round commitment to improvement which is the key to strength training. We expect every player to work hard, to work smart and to concentrate on their technique but more importantly to attack the weights. We don't play with the weights, we attack them. "We're here to make Wake Forest athletes the best they can be. We want them to feel like they have received everything possible out of their weight room experience. We feel if that happens, the success will transfer to the playing field."

Wake Forest's Department of Sports Medicine, which cares for all Demon Deacon student-athletes in the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of injuries, is recognized as one of the most comprehensive and qualified departments of its kind in the country. A primary reason why Wake Forest is so highly respected in this critical area is that since 1979 the Sports Medicine program has been closely associated the WFU Baptist Medical Center. As a result, all injured athletes receive immediate attention from physicians with the highest credentials. Heading this group is Dr. David Martin, a nationally recognized orthopedic surgeon, who is in his third year as the Director of Sports Medicine for the athletic department. Working closely with Dr. David Martin is Dr. Daryl Rosenbaum, the primary family medicine physician for the women's soccer team. On campus, the Department of Sports Medicine is administered on a daily basis by Assistant Athletic Director/Sports Medicine Greg Collins. Collins, who came to Wake Forest in January of 1997 after serving five years as head trainer at the University of Richmond, is enthusiastic about his position and the outstanding work being provided by his staff. "One of the greatest advantages we offer our student-athletes is that in the event of an injury, they can be seen at a well-renowned school of medicine by a physician without delay. The fact all of our medical services are housed in one facility gives us a greater variety of medical personnel from which to choose." Aside from having the resources of a comprehensive Medical Center, another reason for Wake's solid reputation lies in its on-campus sports medicine facilities. Recent renovation of the training room from 1,800 to 6,300 square feet allows for more rehabilitation equipment, weights and exercise materials.

An auxiliary facility for Sports Medicine was also included as part of the overall athletic department office and facilities renovation on campus. It provides a sport-specific area that allows for more efficient and effective pre-practice preparation and treatment of that sport's athletes. At Wake Forest, Collins is assisted by a staff of seven certified athletic trainers. Adam Pecina joined the program six years ago as primary associate for soccer and works closely with that sport, both on a daily basis at practice and in the often demanding area of rehabilitation. The Sports Medicine staff also includes five other athletic trainers and a full-time physical therapist. Fulltime staff members are assigned to each of the other varsity sports, while a capable staff of student athletic trainers, who devote many hours of service to all teams to assure the best possible care, are also an important part of the program.
