You've got to do that, plus add sprinting and jump training.<BR>This means that all athletes, regardless of their sport, should focus their strength training on the squat and the power clean. These lifts may be augmented by doing a few, but only a few, auxiliary lifts. And the lifting and stretching should be complemented by doing speed and plyometric jump drills. Simple ideas, but the best.<BR><BR>The First BFS Athletes <BR><BR>The next contribution to BFS as it exists today came from my experiences from taking what I learned from George back to my high school. In 1970 I was a coach at Sehome High School in Bellingham, Washington. Sehome's enrollment of 1,400 nudged us into being considered a "big school," but it was among the smallest in its classification. Despite our size, we won the unofficial state championship against a school with almost twice our enrollment. Our athletes were simply too good -- the only thing the opposing team could produce in that championship game was minus 77 yards! I also coached track, and 11 of our guys could throw the discus between 140 and 180 feet. If you couldn't throw 155 feet, you were a JV guy; to this day I don't believe any high school has ever been able to say that. And we had bunches of kids who could bench 300, squat 400 and power clean 250 pounds -- lifts that college athletes would be proud of.<BR>My next challenge was as head football coach at a high school in Idaho. I inherited a team that was 0-6 and had lost homecoming 72-0; the kids were so dispirited that they just quit, forfeiting their last three games. We trained hard, and the following year our team won the country championships and scored a fantastic 29-16 victory over the team that had beat us 72-0. And this is despite the fact that the opposing team had a school enrollment of 1,600 kids to our 850! Then I took over the Granger High School team in Salt Lake City, a team that had won only two ballgames in four years, and we achieved what is still considered the most dramatic turnaround in the history of Utah. This got everyone's attention.<BR>Coaches were asking me, "How can you take a disaster school and turn it around in just one year?" When I said it was our weight training program, they would ask me to come to their schools and show crystal clear how important strength and conditioning has become and its contribution to the evolution of the modern day player. To the left are some examples. <br><br>It was fitting tat the Pro Football Hall of Fame was located in Canton. It is the cradle of football. The Massillon-Canton McKinley is a 104-year high school rivalry. Pro Football got its start in the Northeast Ohio area. The tradition continues today as strong as ever.<br><br>Fan support in Canton is off the meter for their high school team just like Massillon s. There are 2,500 season ticket holders. Games are played on Fawcett Field and they allow the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game to be annually played on their field. About 100,000 fanatical fans attend Canton s games each year. McKinley s annual war with Massillon draws a standing room only crowd of 23,000. The McKinley Bulldogs have come out on top of the Tigers four years in a row including a 27-14 victory last season. <br><br>Fawcett Stadium recently had a<br>multi-million dollar renovation including new locker rooms, weight room equipment and scoreboard. The natural grass field has been replaced with artificial turf. 1997 was a dream season for Coach McDaniels who not only won the state and national titles last December but he did it with his son Ben, the quarterback, who is only a junior.
