How do you distinguish between an A and a B student? If you give out some C s the parents say,  How did my son get a C? He works out all the time! The Bigger Faster Stronger program gives the teacher a way to measure success because the students have to document their workouts. If they don t do the workout, they don t have the documentation. It makes grading more objective, in addition to building confidence in the kids by helping them set and achieve goals. <br>Shearer gave his first BFS clinic 15 years ago, a time when he was just starting a job at a new high school. The school had some success, but Shearer believes that was due to having a team with a lot of natural talent, since the athletic program hadn t yet developed a tradition of winning.  So I brought Dr. Shepard up to do a Bigger Faster Stronger clinic to help set the goals for the kids, help bring the team together, and develop a common bond and a common goal. I had been in the business almost 16 years and was already pretty good at what I did, but BFS just made me better. <br> There s nothing like having a professional come in, evaluate your program and tell you what you can do to improve it. Greg has a way of doing that without offending anyone. And every time he comes by he follows up: This last time he followed up with two e-mails with suggestions that really helped. I told our players that Dr. Shepard contacted me and said we needed to do more stretching and that we needed to lift more weight  he knew we were breaking records but we still weren t lifting heavy enough. We took his advice and, you know what, it s really made a difference! <br>One way Shearer motivates his athletes is by using record boards, and the first board Shearer had was called the 250 Club.  The first year we got here the kids looked at each other and said,  You ve got to be kidding! but by the end of the year we had five kids win A Midsummer Night s Dream, another Shakespeare classic.<br>He also visits nearby elementary schools to talk about his disabilitrd! Now we want to start another club for those who total 1,000 pounds on the the fact that  disabled doesn t mean  unable. It s always uplifting to see people awed by Kacey s accomplishments and decidis from following the BFS program.  The same basic BFS program is used for other sports; the only difference is the auxiliary lifts, says Shearer, adding that one of the most impressive improvements has been with the baseball team.  In their last four games they had 70 runs, and their homerun ratio is just amazing. They re hitting the ball so much harder  they re hitting balls 400 feet and out of the park! <br>Enthusiasm for the BFS program among the coaches and the community has helped Shearer acquire funds to build a new weightroom. Since he came to Burlington-Edison, he s received $19,000 for equipment from support organizations, and recently a bond was passed that will pay to have a new weightroom built next year.  Everything this school district does is state of the art, and Bigger Faster Stronger is going to be a big part of helping us get it all set up. <br>Thanks to the new spirit brought to the school by Coach Bruce Shearer and BFS, the Tigers not only live, they roar!was in the State playoff semi-final game.<br>Rt$iUuwycd()x>4LyQ:QIXڗoZ혝"cbs].\j+4w 6W h 4…uߦlUe;|?HqUHXՕZ>HπqyԚ1-JzQ׊q;lGX-šTYixIduW+CLL)!\?o|2#`O?ks<`xgw `+fյgV(k9n5+>X]-nYc76r?8|a$EO4!'~~ߩFlrC@`ZRf W5|w$^YގgJ%Q* 458aŻZ-6O#u ^MҚ7JmO2Aw{suqJu[%60I(XG~K4/qyr62_Idž2FF Ş/rf')&"e/x1e($:oë|Wz`)sco6W1rj_#kisj)GzY(iZzK4"_4q\Ouu*ƤJCC$w6{\|U^{jzJ.(GHjeޤxc<1c._i;C*V]:tOFG.J@=M&*@Nm3ܸ܊ŸOp(JR┌"d~e~Kѵ&K;HnW1_\/ [oqYxA׌Wz.tqP笆W u;x[B!B}.U?h"j֗7}K)dxO8hYjPjK'MB* zPBXb AweygWu#ܪ eWSI3IAЊKwQu%&h:|\+I~}f[{9x<#.j7Qs]ێzOX:Q `/ȍ:Tj;s͗xug3?}ZGnκdI3cs"py724.=5sܸe?#f$ d9Μ|ѫX%-1ڄ2;,Qrξ.- t&{V՚њ4rGUw??rF12 {i˽^KѼ|zJ<^9YEYA? 3g{7?7g~7?guHOR1 [}n'qWt 3<e,oI#hr*"|c[po_ Yh
