I kept telling them throughout the off-season, we don't have to wait until our first game--we'll know by August 1st how good we're going to be. <br>As for the nuts and bolts of his on-field strategy, Hatem likes to runs an  I offense and a 4-3 defense--but joked that he doesn't  do anything that you'll want to write a book about. Says Hatem,  You can have a basic offense and defense, but it definitely has to be molded around the talent you have at the time. Going into the next season thinking that we would run the same offense and defense that we ran this year would be ridiculous. You have to know your kids and adjust your strategy to what those kids do best.<br> There was one more element in Hatem's formula for success, and that was instilling the idea of  ownership among his athletes.  These kids needed to take ownership of the football program. We preach to them, This is your program, and when you do take ownership of it, you will get better. <br>And get better they did, as the following year the Eagles shocked everyone except themselves by winning nine of their scheduled ten games. <br><br>Pure Energy<br><br>Hatem says that another reason he wanted to implement the BFS program at New Albany was to develop a sense of unity among all athletes.  I really believe in getting all the coaches and athletes on the same page. I just really loved the BFS philosophy of challenging why we should have a kid learn five different flexibility programs and five different strength training programs? I thought the BFS program was solid and adaptable, and we could use it for everyone. <br>Justin Sanford is a full-time athletic trainer at New Albany, and he plays a key role in the conditioning program for all sports.  What we found with this BFS program is these lifts are not just lifts that will benefit a football player or a basketball player; these are total body lifts. Every lift that's on the program is really a core component in an approach that works multiple body parts whenever the students lift.<br> In addition to the changes in the football program, Sanford saw a major difference in the girls program.  At first the female attendance was down, and we really didn't know if they were intimidated by the workout, or just weren't used to being in the weightroom, says Stanford. That quickly changed, and the girls became as much as part of the weightroom intensity as the guys.  They are one and the same. The girls motivate the guys, the guys motivate the girls, helping each other out, even screaming for each other-it's pure energy! <br><br>Ending on a Positive Note<br><br>When asked if he treats his current athletes differently than those he coached in his early years, Hatem replied,  Today's athletes are asking more questions, and it's only fair that a coach should be able to answer those questions. Fifteen years ago if a coach told you do to something, there were no questions asked. Today's kid is a little more questioning, and they want to know why. They also want a little more ownership and independence, and they want to feel they have some input and are part of what's going on. Those are the major differen
