During our season, we travel to baseball tournaments at West Monroe and Evangel High Schools who are national power houses in football. It was at their tournaments that I realized that as good as our strength program was, theirs was better. West Monroe and Evangel are both on the Bigger Faster Stronger Total Program. <br>What makes the BFS Total Program so unique is that the players are highly motivated. They break records and chart their records every time they go into the weight room. This creates competition. The players compete with themselves and their teammates. By charting record breaks, the players can see immediate progress in strength and speed. The players and coaches can keep track of record breaks and improvements. Every player on our team has told me that they think the BFS Total Program is the best. They love the program and believe that it has improved them both physically and mentally. Each player is motivated and challenged. They are so excited to get into the weight room each day to break records and become an upper limit athlete. We post all core lifts, rep maxs, and percentages from our off-season total program during that four-month period. <br>What makes BFS so unique is the total program concept. It combines flexibility, agility, core lifts, plyometrics and sprint work combined with the motivation and charting which is a must for any sport in order to reach your full potential as an athlete. Since we began the BFS Total Program, our players have increased their strength by at least 33% on core lifts. Our average varsity starter bench presses 304 pounds, power cleans 226 pounds, box squats 458 pounds, and squats 400 pounds. <br>Our baseball program is so convinced and our progress is so dramatic that our football team has changed their strength training program to BFS. Our basketball program also was using a successful college strength program and began using the BFS Total Program four months ago. They have experienced tremendous strength and speed improvements like our baseball program has. It is so exciting now that our football, basketball and baseball programs are all on the BFS Total Program. Since we share athletes, it creates unity, competition and a smooth transition from one sport to the next.<br><br><br>COMMENTS <br>BY DR. GREG SHEPARD<br><br>Coach Glenn Cecchini is my kind of coach. The man is passionate about his program and his players. He and his wife Raissa coach together and share this passion. They make a wonderfully unique team. Coach Cecchini is adamant about setting off-season and in-season goals. He records everything. His goals include a variety of strength goals with a Dot Drill and 60-yard dash goal. The goals set for the 2000 baseball season were indeed ambitious but the Barbe High School team had already achieved their off-season goals by mid-January and then some. <br>For example, their varsity player team goal was to get their 60-yard dash to under 7.0 seconds. By January, the average time was 6.8 seconds. The freshman goal was to get times in under 7.5 seconds. No problem . . . 7.2 seconds. All team members complete the BFS Dot Drill in under 55 seconds with most in the mid 40-second range. The first time they did this drill, no player could do it under 55 seconds. <br>Coach Cecchini times his players quite frequently in the 60-yard dash. The times of the players reflect an average of ten trials taken on different days. So the times are very accurate. Position players impr
