Your mind was engaged, and that was one of the best things I learned in teaching that applies to my own coaching. And to guarantee the highest levels of focus and intensity, Notmeyer allowed his lifters to listen to country music  to ensure that no lifter would be caught spending time listening to music or be unduly sidetracked by a favorite tune, says Dan.  Dick even allowed group-singing of Eddie Arnold s great yodeling ballad,  The Lonesome Cattle Call, which, Dan says,  would attract cats from all over Pacifica. <br>When he lived in the Bay Area, Dan was fortunate to be around many of the best throwers in the world. What did Dan take from associating, and sometimes training, with these athletes?  In the late 70s it became very obvious that to be competitive in throwing you needed to be accomplished in the Olympic lifts and the power lifts. Everybody, I mean everybody, was snatching, cleaning and jerking, and doing the three power lifts. John Powell was a world-record holder in the discus at that time, but he also competed inʸAkazb@Ii1qA <EFpyɛhqzbsH y&"ǽ9y8=)c:vW4xĈ#@z=0 /^oyqi*o+pka|ihXԴk nOd #Lb0D XպVA u.zQson#ԩM4895 .ҚT̆=)o3OAlnuFfm='QkKt@Nve~H=:D[Yu'q<OWO~94֐v-.-I!n%`qz5 VEyAZ[vmq:WA.jbh `Y{;it;VygqѦ~ Mk#ws5ܗ24Hw31jqI 5VZ)8)9bqHb3Nn)cib8MמR^A`V \g pny]XH!d|`c¿ޥJ)<`G;afO$f2IAuqoC<(Ċ@aUWJ1jq0pM''bwgݷū!

Both systems have their athletes work hard and both produce results. <br>As I have studied both systems, I have found one major difference. The HIT (High Intensity) strength coaches focus on training to prevent injuries with a well-conditioned body. Other coaches and BFS who use the secret, focus on performance records. How fast can you run? How high and far can you jump? How much can you lift? How much can you improve in those areas? Personal records are meticulously kept in order to verify that improvement. That is what drives throwers and most athletes. Therefore, even throwers at the HIT schools do the secret. We at BFS are the same way. We constantly measure our performance. We need concrete proof that we are getting better every day. <br>Stefan Fernholm was a Discus thrower from Sweden who came to BYU to compete at the college level. He broke the NCAA collegiate record and was a past Olympian. Stefan became a part of BFS in the mid-1980 s. We owe him a great deal. He bridged the gap between the United States and the old Soviet Union. Stefan was privy and knowledgeable about the Soviet training methods. The Soviets spent hundreds of million of dollars on developing their system. They took the secret in the early 1970 s and elevated it to new levels. They took training very seriously. Their coaches, for example, could get a doctorate in discus, sprinting or weight lifting at the University of Moscow.<br>Stefan took full advantage of this knowledge. I have never seen an athlete like Stefan. For those who saw Stefan, you know I am not blowing smoke. Stefan weighed 273 at a little over 6-1 in height. He could run a legitimate 4.3 forty and Power Clean 470 pounds from the floor. Stefan was flawless in everything he did. This is what he brought to our BFS table: Flawless technique! My partners, myself and all our clinicians became better coaches and much greater technicians because of Stefan. Perfection became our focus. By all means d
