At Garrett the coaches emphasize goal setting by keeping girls and boys record boards for the bench press, squat, power clean, total lift, 40 and vertical jump.  The record board is a great way to motivate our athletes. We also give them T-shirts for bench marks in the total, such as 800-pound total, 900-pound total, and 1,000-pound total. <br>Such accountability, says Thomas, helps motivate Garrett s athletes.  You can just see it in their eyes when they tell us how many records they want to break during that day s workout. They become convinced that the program will make them better  they get hooked! Also hooked is the administration.<br> Our administration is on board with our weight training program as well, and this spring and summer they are upgrading our weight room, says Thomas.  It was clear to all of us that thet that time, but he also competed in Olympic lifting and powerlifting. Al Feuerbach, who was a world-record holder in the shot put back then, won the national championships in Olympic lifting and the shot put during the same year. You need to be explosive and strong to throw far, and these lifts were the way to get explosive and strong. <brWhile at Skyline Dan earned a scholarship to Utah State, where he mjored in history.  It was a tough decision to go to tah State because I would be leaving such a great environment for lifting and throwing, but I knew I needed to grow and to extend my vision of the world. After graduating Dan worked briefly in a cheese factory cleaning up, and it was at this point in his life that he made a criticl discovery:  I don t like cleaning up burnt cheese. Thus enlightened, Dan returned to school to get a master s degree in history and religious education.<br>At his athletic best, Dan was a competitor in what many regard as the  Golden Age of Throwing.  When I was a senior I threw 190, which was just a remarkable throw  until you compared it to national records, says Dan.  It s funny, because I was up at a track meet in Las Vegas this fall and I met a college coach from Delaware. When we got to talking about the numbers that I threw on Sunday, he said I would have dominated his conferene. I thought,  A 46-year-old man would have won his conference  that s amazing.  <br>Dan s athletic accomplishments and practical coaching wisdom eventually caught the attention of BFS President Dr. Greg hepard. The first time Dan met Greg was i 1980 at the Hill Air Force Base Powerlifting meet, where Dan was competing for the Utah State Powerlifting Team. Recalls Dan,  It was about two in the morning during the deadlift competition, and I was sitting around in the warm-up room when Greg came up to me and asked me what I was opening with. I said I was starting light at 573 pounds, just to get a mark, and I think it almost knocked Greg down. Afters true, and that is kids not only need discipline but deep down they want discipline. They want structure. <br> They also want coaches who will work them hard, and at Garrett High School we have coaches in all sports who do just that. Our kids know that we re going to demand a lot of them on the practice fields and in the weightroom; but when it s all said and done, they also know we care about them. We show them we are interested in what s going on in their lives, and I think that s very important to kids. high as 272, which Dan says was pretty solid because he was lifting hard. Dan was able to lean down after college; he quit training from 1981 to 1987 to concentrate on his career. When he got back into training he allowed his bodyweight to go up again, and by 1995 he accepted the fact that he was fat and had to do something about it. <br>To get lean, Dan went on a low-carb, high-protein diet.
