Cole used the BFS motto that he had recited every morning when he was four years old:  Nothing, absolutely nothing, will deter me from my goal.  <br>Bernard, a coach at Munford High School, says that other coaches thought he was crazy for allowing his son to work out with his arm in a cast for three months, but Cole insisted. Says Bernard,  To the Ivies, the BFS program is not just a weigt program; it is a way of life. Cole adds,  If you take care of your injuries, you can come back a lot faster, and you can return like you were never njured. Cole went so far as to ice his broken arm while it was still in the cast. To prove his point, two weeks after his cast was removed, and with a metal pin still in his arm from the surgery, Cole power cleaned 265 pounds in a special weightlifting competition held in Tennessee. <br>Cole sees himelf as a role model and is disgusted with the behavior of many of today s superstars.  When you see wealthy athletes do the wrong thing and get away with it, the public starts to accept it  that s not right. Cole, says his father, practices what he preaches.  One of the many instances that display his character occurred when he found a wallet containing six hundred dollars. Cole found the owner and returned the wallet and the money; the owner was an immigrant in the United States and told us that this ws every penny he had in the world, says Bernard.<br><br>The BFS Way<br><br>Since he was four years old, Cole has been doing the BFS Dot Drill and reciting the principles of the BFS program, and says he enjoys every issue of BFS magazine.  I love it  whenever I read the magazine it inspires me to go out and do morethings because it shows me that there are other athletes are working as hard as me. It tells me that I ve got to work harder and that can t miss a day of practice  everybody will miss a day of working out sometime, but if I don t then I m always gaining on my competition. The magazine also inspires me because it tells me about some of the troubles that many outstanding athletes have had to overcome. In fact, his strong work ethic is the reason he prefers not to have training partners. <br> When I work out I like to get everything done, and then do extra. Whenever I work out with a partner, we have to change weights too much and it just takes up too much time. I like being by myself, pushing myself, and whenever I need a spotter I call on my dad to come over and hlp me out. As for his expectations for this work ethic, his immediate goals include squatting 500 pounds and running 4.3 in the 40.<br> One person who inspires Cole is his brother, who is now at Central Missouri focusing on his pre-med studies.  He s very supportive of me, says Cole.  When he was in high school, we would compete against each other and get little attitudes; but whenever he was on that field, all I did was focus on him. And that is the way he is with me now. He calls me almost every night, and we talk football and he helps me out. He is my main role model  he is the one who convinced me that I could do all this. <br>When asked who he would like to thank for helping him achieve his goals, Cole answered like a true Eleven:  I thank God and my family, because God is the one
