I kept on breaking records. Coach Rowbotham was awesome. The best thing was his patience. He just kept teaching the basics. As we got closer to the season, my knee was feeling strong and my confidence kept building. That meant a lot to me, because I remember the doctor saying that it would take six months just to return to normal. There were a lot of people who doubted that I could even play football again. <br>Duncan not only showed up for football practice the first day but also quickly became, for the first time, a starter for the Skyline Eagles. At the end of the season, Duncan was one of the leaders on the team that finished second in the state (within its classification of biggest schools). Duncan was First Team All-Conference and a Second Team All-State running back.<br> I made good strength gains during the season, added Duncan.  The week before our state championship game I got a new two-rep max on the clean at 280 pounds. Everything that happened was a pleasant surprise. Duncan s totals at the end of the football season included a 295 bench press, 415 parallel squat, 300 power clean, a 405 Hex Bar lift and a 4.62 forty. As a sophomore, Duncan s time had been 4.95. Needless to say, Duncan overcame his knee injury and a whole lot more. <br> Your confidence is everything, advises Duncan.  Get that going and your body will follow. As you break records and you get stronger, your confidence increases. Without the BFS Program and Coach Rowbotham, I would not have been as successful. Plus, training alongside all the guys in Bob s basement, we all became best friends. <br>Duncan has developed into a true Eleven. On a scale of one to ten, Isaak is an Eleven. He maintains a 3.65 GPA. He has never gone near a drug. Duncan can look you square in the eye and tell you that he has never had even one beer; and as for tobacco, never. He s planning to play college football somewhere next fall, and because of his injury experience, he s looking into a career in sports psychology or physical therapy. And maybe, just maybe, someday Duncan will continue Coach Rowbotham s tradition by training young athletes in a baement of his own. Jim develops and deonstrates leadership. He states,  A quarterback needs to be in the weightroom more that anyone else. Everybody says it is freaky for a quarterback to be in the weightroom like I am but I know every opponent wants to beat me up. I have to thank Mike Gentry. He is the number one strength coach in the country. Wherever I go I would want Coach Gentry to be there. He is the heart and soul or our program. Coach Gentry is almost a God in my book. Maybe I shouldn t say it like that, but I respect him at the highest level. <br>We at BFS thank both Mike Gentry and Jim Druckenmiller for this article. They are both Upper Limit people of the highest order.<br>Virginia Tech Strength Program<br>Under the direction of Mike Gentry, the strength and conditioning program has become a major part of the success of Virginia Tech Football, Resulting in three consecutive bowl appearances.  Wehave a team dedicated to training hard and striving for excellence, said Gentry, now in his 10th year. The younger student-athletes see the uppercleassmen s intensity and it makes ever
