A couple of cheerleaders stopped one day and said,  See Mrs. Young, we re drinking juice and not Dr. Pepper or Coke.  <br><br>Most of the girls list  getting in shape,  improving in their sport, and  losing weight as their primary reasons for taking BFS, but they also acknowledge the other benefits they ve received from Young s class.<br><br> We re learning about bones and muscles and stuff, said Amanda McCoy, who s been in BFS since the second semester of he: Nik is a good student, an Eagle Scout, is always in class, has never been tardy, has never been offered drugs, has never even seen drugs, has never been offered alcohol, has chosen friends who never drink, has never chewed or smoked, has never missed a workout, has not had a soda for two years, eats no candy, no pastries, no potato chips, no donuts, no fries, no deserts and is always focused when he does a workout. Says Nik,  There is no music, no cable TV; it is total focus. You pick up your weights. You are in the weight room for one reason and that is to get better. <br>Nik also plays football at Mountain View as a defensive end. He made All-Region as a junior but because of a big upcoming track meet commitment in Chile (South America), he might miss some of this year s football games. Nik s father said,  I like Nik playing football now but at first I didn t. You always worry about injuries. Nik has had fun playing plus I believe football has helped him with agility and quickness. <br>Nik s football goal is to win a Region championship and then see what happens at state. His track goals are to break Kami s national Discus record, throw 67 feet in the Shot and 70-plus in the Weight Throw. Nik has the philosophy that success comes through hard work and setting goals.  Do whatever you can to attain those goals, advises Nik.<br> Knowledge is power, so they say, and Nik knows how and why to train.  Everything in throwing comes from the legs. That is why the Power Clean, Snatch and Squats are so important. <br>In the Discus Ring, Nik tries to relax and get his positions right.  You can t get too much in your head, but mentally you have got to be focused. It s a little different in football. You have to get intense but at the same time, you have to get your assignment correct. You must be in the right position and help your teammates. You should always be mentally up and don t let anyone else get down. The weight roo
