I realize it s my job to continue with that and pull the school together (which has been a dream for years). I believe your clinic gave us the tools necessary to accomplish that.<br>You rejuvenated my dreams, my hopes and my inspirations, as well as reawakening my faith in Christ. I know deep inside that Christ gave an 11 for us, and He s just asking for us to do the same. I hope I can look into an athlete s eyes and bring the very best out and have that athlete know that I m with him through and through. <br>I make this pledge to you: I will do my very best to implement this program in Ticonderoga and carry it through all sports, athletes and coaches as long as I am here.<br><br>Rob Simpson<br>Riverdale Baptist <br>Weightlifting<br><br>I held a two-day BFS clinic in August. The days leading up to the clinic were of great suspense as I was waiting to see just how great BFS was. I was not disappointed.<br>Rick Bojak was the clinician and I am telling you the truth that he is one of the greatest men I have ever met. He did a great job motivating the kids as well as giving in-depth instruction. As the person who got to pick Rick up and take him around, I also received the additional time and incredible benefit of his knowledge. In three days I learned more from Rick than I ever thought possible. <br>I will never be known as the most educated person in the world. But one thing that I will be known for is my love of weight training and my love of helping kids get opportunities that I never received. I thank you for sending Rick to us, for he has had an everlasting impression on my life and my ability to live up to my goals. Thank you, and God bless you.FmEz>c"x^3j0h!V>,#Ⱥz$~Ui&Iᴔy)O\(zD`vLAj(B8PYx'ڠ|`E0"ݎ:Vs7`Q )#57O'yES֠u"}HNϥV*q/S|7;oh{(v#future, says Dan.  It took a few<br>weeks, and quite a few calls from friends, family, coaches and other<br>athletes. Then I was back into training and totally focused. <br><br>Dan s effort paid off almost immediately. Although he didn t compete at<br>Barcelona, a few months later Dan entered the decathlon event in Talence, France. There he set a new world record 8,891 points a record that still stands today. For Dan, he had proven to himself that he had what it takes to be the world s greatest athlete. But the public only remembered the no-heighter. To truly redeem himself, and earn the title he so fervently desired, Dan knew he needed the Olympic gold.<br><br>Dan went on to win two more world championships before the 1996 Olympic trials came around. Once again, all eyes were on Dan, and the event they watched most closely was the pole vault.<br><br> I knew it was a big deal, says Dan.  But I wasn t worried in the least. It<br>was no longer an issue for me. I <br>wasn t even worried about the trials.<br> I had one goal; that was the gold. Not the bronze, not the silver. I knew exactly what I wanted and was counting the days to Atlanta. <br><br>He sailed through the trials. In Atlanta, he sailed through the decathlon, holding on to a steady point margin throughout each of the ten events. Dan became the first American to win the decathlon since Bruce Jenner in 1976. His only disappointment was tha he did not break his own world record. That is a goal he is still working on.<br><br>Historic Parallels<br><br>For those who follow the sport of decathlon, the parallels between
