If you are part of a team already I suggest you follow your coach's strength plan.  You need to hit the weight room hard and the track as well.  If you have just finished your season, give yourself about 4 weeks to rest [do light workouts in the gym/weight room until the first of the year] and your body to heal.  The best thing to do is to work with your coach and have him help you as he knows what you need to work on.
