7 2006 TCU Football Media Guide NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS

t's a night of no helmets. No pads. Just football players, rock-hard determination and Ihundreds of pounds of steel weight. They call it Night of Champions, but it's really the culmination of months of off-season conditioning. It’s a night of power, ego and testosterone - as in who can lift how much, how many times. “The Night of Champions is a showcase event where some of TCU's strongest athletes compete in the bench press, incline, squat and power clean lifts,” said Horned Frog Strength and Conditioning Coach Don Sommer. “The players take pride in their accomplishments in the weight room and work hard to achieve their goals. They know that the hard work they do here will ultimately help them where it counts the most – on the playing field.” The Frogs have come a long way since Gary Patterson and the TCU coaching staff started the program. Every football weight lifting record has been broken, some of them multiple times. “People talk about measur- ing a football program in bowl games, but this is where success starts – in this weight room,” said Patterson. “This is the behind-the-scenes story of how TCU football has made such tremendous strides.”

Kyle Wallis, Matt Parker, Mar Magnussen, Don Sommer, Brandon Johnson and Joe Walker direct the Horned Frogs’ strength and conditioning program.

Iron Frog Award The Night of Champions is a culmination of TCU’s off- season conditioning program where players try to claim the coveted Iron Frog Award. The award is based on a Power Index (PI). The PI is determined by adding the combined weight lifted in the bench press, squat and power clean, divid- ed by the player’s weight. The 2006 Iron Frogs were Brian Bonner, Cody Moore, David Hawthorne and Marvin White.

13 2006 TCU Football Media Guide FROGS IN THE COMMUNITY

The TCU Athletics Department Community Outreach program seeks to provide opportunities for student-athletes, coaches and administrators to interact with the local community in an effort to extend goodwill, to help fulfill specific needs and to “give back.”

The community outreach activities conducted by the TCU Athletics Department are as many and as varied as the 20 TCU athletic teams. Our goals include supporting a local or national charity and participating in a department-wide outreach initiative which includes SuperFrog’s Reading Challenge. This one-of-a-kind program provides elementary children across the Metroplex incen- tives for achieving reading goals. In cooperation with local elementary schools, TCU student-athletes are helping kids improve their skills through visits to classrooms.

In the 2005-06 academic year, TCU student-athletes, coaches and administrators made countless appearances in community outreach projects and donated time, talent and resources to a wide variety of different charitable organizations.
