Arizona State University is one of the premier
metropolitan public research universities in the
nation. Enrolling more than 57,000 undergraduate, graduate, and professional students on four
campuses in metropolitan Phoenix, ASU maintains a tradition of academic excellence in core
disciplines, and has become an important global
center for innovative interdisciplinary teaching
and research. Arizona State offers outstanding
resources for study and research, including
libraries and museums with important collections, studios and performing arts spaces for
creative endeavor, and unsurpassed state-of-theart scientific and technological laboratories and
research facilities.
In addition to the historic campus in Tempe, a
college town in the midst of a dynamic metropolitan region, the university comprises two newer
campuses with more specialized missions: ASU’s
West campus, in northwest Phoenix adjacent
to Glendale, and ASU’s Polytechnic campus, in
Mesa. The conceptualization and design of a new
Downtown Phoenix campus is presently underway, with plans for a vibrant cultural, creative
and education center. The vision for an expanded
ASU presence in Downtown Phoenix is part of an
ongoing comprehensive development planning
process that will involve detailed analysis of all of

Lisa Love
On Saturday, April 23, 2005, Arizona State University
President Michael Crow selected Lisa Love of the
University of Southern California to serve as the new
Vice President for University Athletics. She began in that
capacity July 1, 2005.
In June, prior to her ASU arrival, Love had planned to
climb 14,162-foot Mount Shasta in northern California,
adding yet another accomplishment to an already impressive personal resume. But the opportunity to assume the
athletic director’s chair at ASU postponed those plans,
perhaps to another year. A trailblazer her entire career,
Love is now poised for the most challenging and fulfilling
climb of her professional life.
Love became ASU's 21st athletic director (17th fulltime) after taking over for Christine Wilkinson, who is
a senior vice president for the university and had been serving as interim athletic director
since April 8. Former athletic director Gene Smith left the university April 8 for a similar post
at The Ohio State University.
Love moved part-time into administration in 1991, then full-time after the 1998 season.
She became a Senior Associate Athletic Director in 2002.
At USC she handled the day-to-day supervision of eight sports - including women's basketball, volleyball, tennis and men's and women's swimming and diving - and monitored all
women's sports at the university. She was active in the department's strategic planning, gender equity, civil rights and NCAA certification issues and she served on the NCAA Management
Council. She also served two stints (1992 - 1993 and 2001 - 2002) as vice president of the
Pacific-10 Conference.
As a coach, Love was a master teacher at the pinnacle of her profession. She compiled
an impressive 404-171 as a college head coach for 17 seasons at Texas Arlington (199-78
from 1982-88) and USC (205-93 from 1989-98). At USC, she led the Trojans to nine NCAA
tournament berths and eight finishes in the national Top 15. She was selected as the Pac-10
Co-Coach of the Year in 1997. She was national Coach of the Year in 1988 when Arlington
went 30-4 and fell one win shy of the Final Four.
A tremendous athlete as volleyball player in her own right, Love is also a member of the
Texas Tech University and Texas Arlington athletic Halls of Fame. As a student-athlete, Love
was a four-year volleyball starter and an all-region performer at Texas Tech. She earned
a bachelor’s degree (1978) in physical education from Texas Tech and a master’s degree
(1985) in education administration from the University of North Texas.
Love also compiled a 79-40 record as head coach at Bowie High School (1978-82) in
Arlington, Texas.
Love also mentored some of the finest volleyball coaching talent in the nation. Among
her proteges are head volleyball coaches at Texas (Jerritt Elliott), South Carolina (Nancy
Somera), New Mexico (Kelley KcKee), Indiana (Katie Weismiller) and Idaho (Debbie
Buchanan).
ASU President Michael Crow said Love brings qualities and experience that will carry
ASU's Athletic Department to championships and excellence.
"We conducted an extensive search through an excellent pool of national candidates and
interviewed many candidates, including several sitting athletic directors of BCS Conference
schools," Crow said. "Lisa was our first choice. Lisa has the energy, competitiveness and drive
to move ASU's Athletic Department onto the next level. Her philosophy for success will be
instrumental in building ASU's Athletic Department through student achievement, community
engagement and winning."
Love said her experience and President Crow's vision for the university will serve as her
foundation as she steps into her new role at ASU.
Love plans to establish model programs at ASU by embracing the traditions of ASU and
aggressively pursuing championships.
"Having been involved with a competitor of Arizona State University, I am well-aware of
the talented people who work in the Athletic Department and the tradition they bring to this
university's sports program," she said. "In order to make this an ideal program, we will
need the leadership of our master teachers - our coaches, and the achievement, both on the
field and in the classroom, of our student athletes."
Community members and university representatives applauded the selection of Love as
ASU's new Vice President of University Athletics.
"It's a great hire," Ed Robson, CEO of Robson Communities and a member of the Sun
Angel Board, said. "She comes from a great program at USC and she helped build that program. She is a winner with a lot of energy and dedication."
"I spent three years coaching with Lisa at USC," said Randy Lein, the Sun Devil Men's Golf
Coach. "She is a genuinely good person. When I heard her name, I knew she'd be a great
hire. I'm very excited and happy it worked out for her."
At ASU, Love serves as the senior administrative officer of the university's athletic program
and reports directly to Crow. The program features 12 women's and 10 men's sports, including men's and women's basketball, golf, swimming and diving, tennis, track/field and cross
country; women's gymnastics, soccer, softball, volleyball, and water polo; baseball, football
and wrestling.
Love is responsible for the management and development on one of the finest and most
comprehensive athletic physical plants in the nation at ASU, playing host to nearly 1 million
patrons each year. ASU's athletic staff includes more than 180 full and part-time coaches and
administrative and support personnel who provide services to about 500 student-athletes.
Love has two sisters, Shannon Goddard and Debbi Dalton. Her parents are Tom and
Jeanne Love of Arlington, Texas.

THE SCHOLAR BALLER PARADIGM
At Arizona State University, our football studentathletes are being challenged to tap into the same
competitive fire that makes them great athletes, in
their endeavors as students through the Scholar
Baller concept.
In the urban vernacular, a “baller” is an individual who excels in a given activity. Within the
ASU football culture, the term “Scholar Baller”
refers to someone who competes at a high level
and is successful in the classroom with a 3.0
GPA or above. The implementation of the Scholar
Baller program at ASU has been a collaborative
– Think Man –
effort between Dr. C. Keith Harrison, Director of
the Paul Robeson Research Center for Academic and Athletic Prowess, Jean Boyd,
Associate Athletics Director for Student-Athlete Development, and the ASU football
coaching staff. The Scholar Baller paradigm teaches that performing well in school
and earning a bachelor’s degree are victories that last a lifetime.
Student-athletes are challenged to be Scholar Ballers and are rewarded for
their academic success in some of the following ways:
• Scholar Baller Awards at Camp Tontozona each year (T-shirts, backpacks,
etc.) recognizing 3.0 and above student-athletes;
• Scholar Baller Dinner;
• A patch on the front of each Scholar Baller’s game jersey (ASU is the first
Division I school in the country to acknowledge football student-athlete academic
success on its jerseys).
Since Coach Koetter and his staff’s arrival to ASU, Jean Boyd’s appointment as
Academic Coach for football and implementation of the Scholar Baller concept, ASU
Football has experienced significant improvement in the academic performance of
the entire football team:
• ASU had an all-time high of 41 student-athletes earn Scholar Baller recognition for the 2004-05 academic year.
• The Sun Devils had a 68 percent graduation rate in 2005.
• The cumulative GPAs for the ASU football teams have risen substantially over
the past five years.
• Only two out of 96 football student-athletes recruited by Coach Koetter’s staff
in the past four years have been declared academically ineligible.
While winning on the football field is most closely scrutinized and is absolutely
necessary to be successful as a Pac-10 Conference, Division I football program,
preparing young men for life is just as important in the broader scheme of society.
Promoting the Scholar Baller image does just that; prepares ASU football studentathletes for the greatest competition of all: LIFE!

Foundations of Success
The purpose of the Sun Devil football program extends beyond the
scope of the football field. Our mission is to create an environment
where young athletes will grow into extraordinary men.
Every Division I football program in the country is committed to developing great athletes and to varying degrees, graduating their studentathletes. What makes Sun Devil Football’s model of player development
significant is that considerable time and resources are allocated towards
developing football student-athletes as MEN of character who have the
ability to excel in life, after the intercollegiate experience.
We are highly aware of our accountability as a football program, and we have
come together to prepare and compete as champions. While critical in determining our place as a Division I football power, wins and losses are temporary.
However, the lessons of character and values that are absorbed through participating in our program will endure and influence a lifetime.
Winning is highly important to us and we accept and live with that accountability.
But what carries even greater significance is the consideration that if 10 years
from now the players that have passed through our program have become better
citizens, better husbands, better fathers because of the Sun Devil experience we
have served our ultimate purpose and fulfilled our mission.
Since the inception of the Foundations of Success program in 2004, we have
implemented a number of programs that represent our commitment to each
student athlete’s complete personal development. Director of Player Development
Craig Juntunen has been instrumental in the implementation fo the Foundations of
Success program. This unique philosophy allows us to focus on recruiting those
that want to be part of a character based, value centered football program.
TEAM MISSION STATEMENT
They decided that they would be a team that prides themselves on:
PREPARATION (Being Prepared), SACRIFICE, and FIGHTING ADVERSITY.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Through their participation in organized sport, student-athletes have the opportunity to develop many characteristics (teamwork, organization, communication,
resiliency, etc.), one of which is leadership. Leaders are individuals who make a
conscious effort to influence others in the pursuit of a shared vision.
Most college football teams have a mission statement. However, our mission statement is different in many respects, and most importantly, it came from the hearts
of our players. In January of 2004, our players were led through the process of
creating a phrase that would best describe what this era of Sun Devil football will
stand for. The team arrived at “Answer the Scratch,” a philosophy which can be
paraphrased as:
Leadership Council: In January of 2004, the coaching staff chose 25 football players from all classes (freshmen through senior) and engaged them in an intensive,
16-week leadership training program.
"Relentless Determination is the Passionate Pursuit of Excellence"

The council was a co-captain of a team with which they were
responsible for holding accountable to committing to take
actions necessary for ASU to become a championship team.
PEAK PERFORMANCE
Sun Devil football student-athletes are challenged to perform at
the highest level at which they are mentally and physically able.
While this is the goal of every college football student-athlete in
the country, there are many factors that counteract this desire.
During the fall training camp of 2004, each player participated
in an 11-night presentation consisting of the functional and
theoretical components that influence optimal or peak performance. The nucleus of the workshop, emphasized the aspects of
mental conditioning. During the first month of the season, each
player had a follow-up individual meeting to review and discuss
what was presented and learned at fall camp.
Key Learning Examples:
• The key physiological factors of peak performance
• The mind controls your body/you control your mind
• Using breathing to facilitate focus and concentration

• The significance of mindset
• How visualization can be an effective training tool
• Building confidence through affirmations and self talk
• Cues as a took to improve performance
• How to build mental toughness
• The real self - the performer self: finding the proper mindset for competition
WINNING WITH CHARACTER
Twice a week during the season, all of Arizona State’s players participate in a
mandatory Character and Ethics education program. The "Winning with Character"
program was developed by Dr. Sharon Stoll at the University of Idaho’s Center for
Ethics. It is a research-based curriculum designed to enable our players to understand, reason and then apply moral social values and ethical principles in their
daily lives.
ASU Football is one of only three schools nationwide to adopt the program (the
University of Georgia and the University of Maryland are the other two). ASU
received a $25,000 anonymous donation to start the program in (testing measures, curriculum, research).
Topics in 2004 included:
• The meaning of character
• What is expected of a role model
• Respect
• Decorum
• Responsibility
• Being honorable
• Punctuality
• Humility
• Decency
Beginning in the spring of 2005, we offered all of our players a competition curriculum. The purpose of this program is to have our players become fascinated
with the essence of competition. Players will participate in discussions and "cerebral drills" that are specifically designed to expose the core elements of competition and competing and the corresponding skills that create the great competitor.
Key Learning:
• A competitor is an attainable skill, not a trait.
• A great competitor loves competing more than winning.
• The best competitors focus on process, not results.
• Competition can be defined as the exertion of will.
• Focus and concentration are at the core of competing.
NUTRITION PROGRAMS
There are few things more important than what we put into our bodies. This
fact is magnified ten-fold for Division I football student-athletes. Like all Pac-10
institutions, ASU Athletics provides training table one meal per day. In an effort to
maximize the physical potential of ASU football players, we have utilized a dining
hall within the athletic department.
Football student-athletes will be required to establish a meal plan and eat breakfast on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, our most rigorous practice days, so
that they start each day off with the right amount of fuel to focus on their academics AND get the most out of their bodies physically in the weight room and on
the practice field. Additionally, ASU Football has consulted a nutritionist to work
closely with Sun Devil football student-athletes, putting together a plan to enhance
their athletic performance.
PERSONAL MISSION STATEMENTS
COMMUNITY SERVICE
In the winter of 2005, each player went through the process of creating his own
personal mission statement. This was a four-week journey that guided our players through a directed self-discovery process that culminated with the creation of
their own personal mission statement. This tool is to help influence decisions and
behaviors and give them a basic framework to "coach" themselves to proactively
confront their dreams.
EVERY football student-athlete is required to participate in AT LEAST ONE community service project per semester. It is incumbent upon Sun Devil football players
to recognize the opportunity with which they have been presented, and give the
vision of the importance of education and perseverance to others.
During the 2004-05 academic year, 100 Sun Devil football student-athletes performed over 500 hours of community service.

Sports Medicine
Arizona State’s Sports Medicine Department strives to provide studentathletes with the best medical health care possible throughout their careers.
Since the success of ASU’s teams depends on the well-being of its
student-athletes, ASU’s sports medicine department is dedicated to the
care, prevention and rehabilitation of injuries. Located on the lower
level of the Carson Student-Athlete Center in a newly renovated, stateof-the-art training room, the sports medicine department is staffed by
eight full-time athletic trainers and 10 graduate assistants. All of Arizona
State’s athletic trainers are certified by the National Athletic Trainers
Association and licensed by the state of Arizona. In addition to the main
athletic training room in the Carson Center, the sports medicine department operates six other training rooms throughout all of ASU’s athletic
facilities to accommodate its student-athletes’ schedules and needs.
Arizona State employs four team physicians who all work closely with
the staff. A physician’s office is located across the hall from the training room to provide ASU’s student-athletes with the best possible medical care without having to leave the facility or wait for providers.
In addition, the sports medicine department relies on a group of 40
doctors on its Sports Medicine Advisory Team. That team features doctors
who specialize in areas such as orthopedics, optometry and internal medicine and act as consultants to the sports medicine department to provide
first-class care in any medical situation student-athletes may encounter.
From the time that a student-athlete begins his career at ASU, the sports
medicine department is actively involved in ensuring his success on the
playing field. That process begins with a thorough physical exam prior to
his participation in any activity. The sports medicine staff strives to be proactive in any health or medical issues student-athletes have when they arrive.
A major emphasis of the sports medicine department is on the prevention
of injuries such as taping, protective equipment, preventive exercises, flexibility training and other activities that can help keep student-athletes healthy
Preventive measures are constantly being studied by ASU’s sports medicine
department using a computerized injury reporting system. That system
compares Arizona State’s injury information with other Pac-10 Conference

provide ASU student-athletes with the best possible medical care.
and NCAA institutions and enables the sports medicine department to share
and gather information on injury prevention and care with other departments in order to provide ASU’s student-athletes with the best care possible.

Video Services/Equipment Room
Director Rob Roberson and assistant Ben Banker are responsible for all video services for the Arizona State football team.
They also oversee the video needs of the entire ASU athletic
department.
Among the many duties of the video department is opponent
scouting. Roberson and Banker assist the coaching staff with
the breaking down of opponent video and prepares that video
for further analysis. They also videotape all games and practices
for the team, running as many as four video cameras.
The video crew uses the state-of-the-art XOS Digital Editor.
The XOS system has allowed Sun Devil Football to be completely
tape less. The video itself is captured into the Sun Devil computer system and then fed through a closed intranet set system
to both the 10 coaches’ offices as well as all of the meeting
rooms at the Carson Student-Athlete Center.
Video Services Staff (L to R): Rob Roberson and Ben Banker.
The Equipment Operations department is headed up by Mark Zimmer.
He is assisted by Paul Lopez and John Bieber. Along with 14 student
managers (nine who work in the Carson Center with football and five who
work in the Wells Fargo Arena equipment room), this staff handles the
order, inventory and issue of equipment for all 22 sports.
Upon entering the Sun Devil football program, each new student-athlete
is outfitted with new equipment that is maintained throughout the year by
the equipment staff. At the end of each year, the helmets and shoulder
pads are re-conditioned and re-certified for use the following year. All
practice gear is washed on a daily basis throughout the season and will be
replaced as needed; game gear is washed immediately after home games
or upon return from road games.
In addition to handling the daily equipment needs for the football team,
Zimmer and his staff also make arrangements for the transportation of
equipment for all football road trips. This process begins on Thursday
evening, when all selected travelers’ helmets are thoroughly inspected for
new hardware, facemasks and the application of new decals. Once each
player packs his equipment bag, the equipment staff loads the bags on to
a truck, which will then transport them and the rest of the equipment to
that weeks game. Approximately 7,500 pounds of equipment (including
sports medicine and video equipment) is transported for each road game.
Equipment Operations Staff (L to R): Mark Zimmer, Paul Lopez and
John Bieber.

Sports Performance
Under the direction of 2002 National Strength and
Conditioning Coach of the Year Joe Kenn, the mission of Arizona State’s sports performance program is
simple: to produce a successful training regimen that
will significantly improve both the mental and physical
demands of athletic performance. We do this by developing an Athletic Based Training program. We are not
developing “lifters;” we are developing football players.
ASU’s Athletic Based Training program is geared toward
developing the football player by utilizing complex and
athletic-related movements for the game of football.
The key to our program is to transfer usable strength
to the sport of football. Training the student-athlete in
a whole body training session accomplishes this, and
primary work will revolve around three main training
sessions each week with the possibility of auxiliary sessions. ASU’s program is predominantly a free weight
oriented program with the majority of the three main
training sessions focusing on hip and leg development,
the body’s foundation for success. Without a strong
foundation it will not matter how strong the upper
body is; the student-athlete won’t be as successful. The
program focuses around the back squat, its related
movements and variations of exercises from Olympic
weightlifting. Squats and platform exercises are the key
to developing a championship team. This work will
separate championship teams and student-athletes from
those who never reach their potential.
Components of the Athletic-Based
Training Program:
• closed chain/ground-based movements
• multiple joint actions
• extension movement
• multiple planes of movement
• single leg movements
• dumbbell training
• variety of exercises
The 16,000-square foot Lawrence Strength Center in the Carson Student-Athlete Center gives
Arizona State one of the finest training facilities in the nation.
RUNNING PROGRAM
There are two distinct goals for our running program:
the development of both absolute speed and game-day
endurance. During the winter developmental period, we
will concentrate on the development of linear speed and
change of direction speed, while in the spring II and
summer periods, we will prepare the student-athlete to
play 100-plus snaps
and dominate the
fourth quarter. This is
accomplished through
a three-step plan that
starts with an anaerobic endurance stage and ends with
a game-specific metabolic stage.
Our running program is based on two training
sessions:
• Speed session: plyometric training, loading and

Hard Hat Players
The Sun Devil Hard Hat Program was created to reward those individuals who do what’s
right even when no one’s looking. We want our teams to be known for their tremendous
work ethic on and off the field. A Hard Hat Player is someone who is self-motivated,
a competitor, committed to personal and team excellence, dependable, accountable,
disciplined, and most importantly, puts the team first. To become a Hard Hat Player, an
athlete had to achieve a certain point total during our Winter Developmental Program. An
athlete earned points based on a championship effort for strength training, speed development and conditioning sessions. They were also awarded points for competitive events
and performing extra workouts in our Blitz Package Program. An athlete could also
lose points by not having the proper attire, being late to workouts or having unexcused
absences from workouts. Each athlete was evaluated after every workout by the strength
and conditioning staff with input from an athlete’s position coach when applicable.

POWER ZONE

Goals of the Program
Power zone development,or core • Work
training, has become a more inte• Team Building
gral part of our daily plan. Without
a strong midsection, it is irrelevant
• Develop the Football Athlete
how strong your limbs are. Our
• Injury Prevention
power zone development is based
on training the abdominals, glutes,
erectors, obliques and hamstrings
(everything from mid-thigh to bottom of the chest). We will incorporate flexion
extension, lateral flexion, stabilization and posterior chain exercises to improve core
strength. We will perform abdominal and oblique training before our main strength
sessions and glutes, hamstrings and erector exercises after the main session.
EVALUATION
Each student-athlete will be evaluated in numerous performance indicators
throughout the annual plan. These results will allow us to determine the strengths and
weaknesses of each student-athlete and help to establish individualized programs.
Each student-athlete will be evaluated two to four times per year, and individual and
team progress will help us refine and improve the program on a regular basis.
NUTRITION
The importance of proper nutrition and its carryover to improved athletic performance cannot be more strongly emphasized. The nutritional needs of student-athletes
are another role we fulfill as strength and conditioning coaches. It is our responsibility
to evaluate the nutritional needs of the team and individuals. In some cases, a dietary
analysis will be utilized. Additional supplementation also plays an important role to
the football player who cannot get enough calories from his daily diet to fulfill energy
requirements. The additional calories will help aid these student-athletes’ ability to
increase lean body mass and overall strength.
INJURED STUDENT-ATHLETES
• It is important that an injured student-athlete understand that he may have an
injured body part, but he does not have an injured body. We have auxiliary training
programs to train around injuries. Research has found that by training an uninjured
limb, there will be a carryover effect when you are able to train the injured limb and
that it helps to decrease recovery time.

Sun Angel Scholarship Fund
Scholarships and student service expenditures comprise one of Arizona State Athletics’
greatest investments. First and foremost, each student-athlete comes to Arizona State to
earn a degree. The academic advisors, computers, books, tutors and other services offered
are critical to their success in the classroom as they grow personally and athletically.
Nearly five million dollars from private sources must be generated each year to offset
the academic costs of supporting over 300 scholarships and 480 student-athletes. The Sun
Angel Foundation’s challenge is to increase annual giving to a level that will fund this investment while maintaining its support of the everyday costs of an athletic department.
