It is a great sight to walk into a gym class and see forty students of all abilities doing the Dot Drill at the same time. The PE teachers promote the whole program for those who want to use the weight room. <br>Since Portola is a small school, we have to develop the students we have. We don t have the luxury of the numbers some of the schools have. Most of the best athletes have to play both ways, so our conditioning must be superior. As the 1998 JV team grew into the 2000 Varsity team, their lifting sessions became more intense and dedicated.<br>Our project has been successful. We have restored our self-esteem. Winning has also brought the community together to support our football program.  It is all worth the effort, to see our players faces after our division championship, said coach Bass. More students have expressed an interest in playing next year. Our next challenge is now on our doorstep. Can we sustain this energy level? I believe so, with the help of the Bigger Faster Stronger Program.<br><br>" <br>The BFS Program provides a plan the athletes love, because it is motivational. It promotes goal setting, record breaking and teamwork. Athletes can set PR s everyday! The athletes want to continue lifting. It is no longer just hard work, it is FUN!<br> --Howard Thomas 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 epect you to be great. On a scale of one to ten, I expect you to be an eleven. Nik Arrhenius is an eleven in my book, but I will let you decide: 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,
