"We realized our kids had to understand why this was important if we were to get them committed to the program. Our strategy was to sensationalize what we were doing, provide feedback and incentive, and to continually sell the vision we created." Here are the steps they implemented:<br><br>Use the BFS model of including variety in all phases to keep our kids interested and allow their bodies to adapt to each phase of the program.<br><br>Have all the grades work out together, so that the seniors are role models for the younger athletes.<br><br>Reward the consistent hard workers by making them weightlifting captains, and assigning them the responsibilities of taking their group's attendance and making sure their athletes are doing all their lifts with the correct technique.<br><br>Create strength clubs for achieving goals in our core lifts: clean, squat, bench, and push press. On test dates, as athletes reach these goals, we work our kids into a frenzy and then announce the records, hand out T-shirts as rewards and immediately update our goal board and web page.<br><br>Use set-and-rep logs to chart the weights used, track records and allow partners to evaluate each other's efforts.<br><br>Incorporate the Tuesday/Thursday speed, agility and plyometric program in a circuit, followed by a competitive activity as a culminating event at the end of each session.<br><br>Include a fun activity once a week.<br><br>Encourage our athletes to never settle for average. Push them to go beyond their optimal training zone. Push them to "Be An Eleven." These athletes thrive on being pushed.<br> superior at the parallel squat. See Figure #5 and you will see what I mean. Little Greg Frere at a bodyweight of 155 parallel squatted 355 pounds and ran a 4.6 forty. Look at his depth and form: eyes on target and being tall with the chest spread. This photo was part of a story that featured my program at Sehome in the old Strength & Health magazine. We did a good job at only two of the ten components we have today, but we did those very well. It took only a year to get phenomenal results. I had 50 players run between 4.5 and 5.0 in the forty. That was 1970. Can anyone match that today? Sehome had an enrollment of 1,400 in grades 9-12. We played mostly larger schools and ended up playing Snohomish High School in a mythical state championship. They had minus 77 yards. <br> My next move took me to Brigham Young University, where I worked with football players and the power lifting team. Paul Howard, a lineman, gained 45 pounds in one year, reaching 275, and improved his forty from 5.2 to 4.8. He played ten years for the Denver Broncos. Paul Devine was a running back who was also on my power lifting team (see Figure #6). He helped us win the1973 national collegiate power lifting championship. Paul graduated and raised his family in southern California. His son Kevin was taught how to parallel squat and train (see Figure #7 and #8). Kevin ran a 4.2 forty at the combine and played in the NFL for several years. I was so impressed with Kevin that we did a football speed video featuring Kevin s ideas on speed improvement.<br> I once had a 5 9 250-pound sophomore football player in 1977 named Charles who ran a 6.9 forty.  Charles, I told him,  you may have just set a record for the slowest time in history. As I see it, you ve got two choices. Either eat lettuce for every meal or squat like crazy. Well, Charles didn t like lettuce. By the end of his senior year, Charles was 5 11 and weighed 300 pounds. What do you think? Was he slower after all those squats and with that extra 50 pounds? <br> Charles parallel squatted 745 pounds in a national competition and briefly held the teenage national record <±kq`P*S/nl{zqX=D#qr3EnF[aztXU*jMtfܣsdBݐX)bifӥ`xӤ\ A 3W?2SIuak5xϦR [GC^Pg^>klL#j<|΂ќx@TKEGE2JKRQ@a\qAWcZ.;E)e֦CDs c;Fkc۵۩ k!bیB*lv55E-"/mrk]"gCgU 5ntAXp1U)cĠ֌Zv)q/?ϵ
