I think you can tell that my enthusiasm for BFS is hard to hide. My athletic director allowed me to implement BFS in our classes. I had all sorts of kids signed up for the class and they all loved it. Due to remodeling, we had to move our weight room several times and for the next month we won t have a weight room. Kids you would never expect to lift weights are itching to get back to the BFS Program. They say they are losing their edge. Some have even gone out to gyms to continue there. If schools want that kind of participation, they need to have a clinic and get the BFS Total Program going in their school.<br>____________________<br><br>BFS: What was involved in moving your weight room?<br><br>Coach Ewald: During the summer, we had to move our weight room into the wrestling room. When the school needed the wrestling room back this fall, we moved the weights to the bus storage room. The kids said they couldn t go without their two in-season workouts so the team went down and pulled ot the squat racks, benches and bars for the power clean and we did our workouts in that cramped area. The kids wouldn t have it any other way.<br>____________________<br><br>BFS: Do you have all sports doing BFS?<br><br>Strength Coach Godfrey: We have girls gymnastics, girls volleyball, baseball, wrestling, boys basketball, football and the throwers in track doing BFS. I think that soon the remaining few will be doing it too.<br>___________________<br><br>BFS: How do the girls like the program?<br><br>Strength Coach Godfrey: I have a lot of girls on the program. They love the program too. It is great to have them in the weight room because they have no egos when working out. The boys are learning a lot from the girls. The girls are dedicated to perfect technique and know that with perfect technique, the weight will follow.<br><br>____________________<br><br>Thank you Coach Ewald and Coach Godfrey for sharing your championship experiences with us. You are both true Elevens!tra step to stand out. Spiritual values are also important. It also became known to me that Tom prays every day.<br>Tom tries to be an example, and he is very much aware that the younger athletes and students are looking to him for leadership. He tells others,  Have fortitude. Have courage and strength of mind. Make your family important. If I couldn t play football again, I would still consider myself fortunate. <br>I want to mention two other amazing facts about Tom s life. First, Tom does not have a driver s license and does not drive. His driver education class conflicted with his workouts and the start of football practce, so he chose football.<br>Second, Tom was elected homecoming king last fall. At the presentation ceremony, he gave his crown to his little brother Joey, who has Down syndrome. Joey was all smiles and so was everyone else as he stood as king at the homecoming assembly. <br>Tom is a true Eleven, and we at BFS wish him well as he embarks on the next chapter of his life at the University of Iowa. Our thanks go to Tom, his parents and Coach Ekmark for this inspiring story. <br><br><br><br>practice and every drill as if he were playing in a championship game. He s a dedicated player who worked harry emotional, says Schultz, who had goose bumps handing out the new Dog Soldier jerseys.<br>
