It was the best financial investment our football program has ever made. We already have captains for next year s team. One of them came up with the idea to have stickers for our helmets with the number eleven. The kids all want to do this. Another captain wants to paint the number 11 in the weight room and the locker room. Our team will be committed to touch it as they pass. Thanks for helping us develop our vision for greatness!<br> <br>The coach sent me their football program book. Some of the players wrote a thank you note. I would like to share one of these from one of last season s captains: <br> Dr. Shepard, you influenced our team to the fullest, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Keep spreading your light. <br>In my quiet moments as I reflect on this experience, it is difficult to hold back the tears. I am so very thankful for coaches and kids like the players at this high school. May God bless our great country and help us all to Be An Eleven a little more often.<br>en Age of Throwing.  When I was a senior I threw 190, which was just a remarkable throw  until you compared it to national records, says Dan.  It s funny, because I was up at a track meet in LasVegas this fall and I met a college coach from Delaware. When we got to talking about the numbers that I threw on Sunday, he said I would have dominated his conference. I thought,  A 46-year-old man would have won his conference  that s amazing.  <br>Dan s athletic accomplishments and practical coaching wisdom eventually caught the attention of BFS President Dr. Greg Shepard. The first time Dan met Greg was in 1980 at the Hill Air Force Base Powerlifting meet, where Dan was competing for the Utah State Powerlifting Team. Recalls Dan,  It was about two in the morning during the deadlift competition, and I was sitting around in the warm-up room when Greg came up to me and asked me what I was opening with. I said I was starting light at 573 pounds, just to get a mark, and I think it almost knocked Greg down. After that we kept bumping into each other at competitions, and then I started working out at the Upper Limit Gym when it opened up. That was a great place to work out because the Utah Jazz trained there, and Greg and his BFS staff made certain they took their lifting seriously. One day when I was working out Greg asked me if I wanted to work at the gym, and I accepted. Tha started my relationship with BFS. <br>If there s one major struggle Dan has had as an athlete, it s with his bodyweight. In college it was as high as 272, which Dan says was pretty solid because he was lifting hard. Dan was able to lean down after college; he quit training from 1981 to 1987 to concentrate on his career. When he got back into training he allowed his bodyweight to go up again, and by 1995 he accepted the fact that he was fat and had to do something about it. <br>To get lean, Dan went on a low-carb, high-protein diet. Dan s description of a good breakfast:  meat eggs and other stuff. A bad breakfast:  not meat, eggs, and other stuff. In a few months he dropped 50 pounds.  It s funny, I got down to 206, and I found that I could throw the discus just as far as I did when I was heavier  and my injuries disappeared. <br><br>The State of the Sport<br><br>Although Dan says the US stil硓.+x ww 'f}#g5mm0oP܄[z~ hA>ExbicrPؖ~Ur |\k #zOT͗".t291ٶFNC=܈20 2JA`x+=[C-*5n֎ίX@GTJvXxggǰ{&ӭ*L\ [,A dRӢƣC0as`rTp+斐@ t@~%_vʛnO&ӑ*|4lA٘x}yشl劐EpTG{gi½WVP HOڑ %t2j\ c!LUA,5$oLi2p1o#߮fv 0?=V/dOƌD26,:/ZCUoy*UDWB7 nB6̬ frS̋r(5)<,+ҡΈǕ#G!!U^[>Ko aBm`,NUit{{ԑA9ڳ嵪Wv^tĩ+}Ѕt8Eǒ6P.uqe 1bA֭~Vnp;rr B/+ըBH:4}[&q b;YvQa1c]9.ʑ ) B;c_؟X= ܴ6oD4]v>?mZ`ִHҺ#G,H"{N3B c«S>C(kXm_^f@[⨿̗< 2-#\)#EzSc MG!W/BX5kxxs02J$~Ŀߠ.FxYBba}I$ u+7Tpݕs,kpCI6b ;|MQӢ | .t=N8PXFhƷJs;*uTOA8/#g vZ30c/W_L!KYIP啷"kLO1:=ԹO7-ӴWjОsp49<)Bä7~>f^^B $nĵ*Ee.0X_xzdkg՛ԦB)Ś< TNs&A&tBh E*eES"IQuMŔ h XHW2z#OrkJpmCiȰ?e)6;9 X*9bLSJ6!Wgv16;‡լ[ -p}lW,}[ (׷VBI'_}Gdyn@ Γ"0bHtWT`:ucE'TՊxjafSŁ WJ47fnʂ 2)S*ۉBU(jm= qhԛ"4wIO^t֫~{kEWG5$VScZj4}*̃p4
