His father, Anders, was the top Shot Putter for Sweden for several years. Anders was also a teammate of Stefan Fernholm. He Benched over 500 pounds and threw well over 65 feet in the Shot a number of times. Anders was throwing at BYU when I was the strength coach there from 1971 to 1973. We have been good friends since and I can tell you that Anders knows how to train correctly and what to do. Anders has great knowledge on how to throw also but to his credit, he wanted his son to have the best. L. Jay Silvester lives close to Nik and L. Jay is a past Olympian, silver medal winner and world record holder in the Discus. He also is an Olympic Discus coach. L. Jay is Nik s coach. The third part of the success formula is there in spades! <br>This formula has shown to be true this year with two other BFS athletes. P.J. Brown, son of BFS Clinician Jim Brown, Pole Vaulted nearly 17 feet last June in a national meet. P.J. will go to the University of Arkansas. The Razorback coaches said,  We want you here because we think you can be a national champion. Even though P.J. is only 5-6 138 pounds, he was blessed with strength and speed genes. He has done the BFS program since the 4th grade and was coached on a regular basis with Earl Bell, one of the very best Pole Vault coaches in the world. <br>Brock Berlin, last year s USA Today National Football Player of the Year and our most recent BFS Athlete of the Year, led Evangel Christian Academy to another undefeated season, to be crowned national champions by Fox Sports. Brock Power Cleaned 315 pounds from the floor. Not bad for a quarterback. So obviously, Brock has good genes. His coach, Dennis Dunn, is one of our BFS Clinicians and Brock went through his first BFS Clinic when he was in the 9th grade. Brock s coaches are among the elite in coaching quarterbacks. Evangel s QB s have averaged throwing nearly 400 yards per game for 8 years! Brock graduated early from Evangel so he could make spring practice at the University of Florida. Coach Steve Spurrier has stated publically that Brock could be an important cog in the Gator offense as a true freshman quarterback. <br> Wait! you say,  Coach Shepard, didn t you forget one important ingredient? What about attitude? To me, if you want to compete at the highest level, attitude is a given. I expect you to be great. On a scale of one to ten, I exthletes and coaches that Olympic lifting was dangerous and heaven forbid that a woman compete in the sport! The appropriate way to train, according to some, was very sowly. As for exercise selection, they insisted the emphasis hotherapy. Brooks was subsequently releaed by the Rams, and he turned down offers from both the Saints, Cowboys and the Jaguars.<br> As his wife s helth began to improve, Brooks signed with the Cardinals (over the Jauars and the Broncos) in the 2000season and reunited with his offensive line coach from the Rams, George Warhop. Again Brooks made the final roster; and when the starter at left tackle L.J. Shelton became injured, Brooks saw more playing time.  Shelton went down the first play of the first game, so I got to play that whole game, and then the following two games I started. However,
