Robbie also believes that education is very important and because of his hard work in the classroom and his dedication to his studies, he was able to attain a 3.7 GPA.<br>Robbie has accomplished a lot in the past few years. He participated in the Jr. Olympics in New Orleans and won a silver medal in Olympic Weightlifting. In March of  97 he just missed the bronze medal by 5kg in the Jr. Nationals competing against people a year older than him. However, he was selected to represent the United States in a 16 year old and under International competition in Canada and took home the gold. In baseball, Robbie was voted "Defensive Player of the Midwest Region Tournament" in the Pony League three years ago. His 8th grade year he went 16-0 in wrestling and was the County Champ. He also ran track and competed in the 100m, 100m low hurdles, and relays. "But," he says, "the sport I love the most is football. Everything I do is to help me improve for football." <br>In football, Robbie is now the running back. He is also on the special teams and punts. He hopes to play some defense next year. About football he says, "I love to hit and I am always working to improve my overall athletic abilities. I have been taught that talk is cheap and that actions speak louder than words. I have a lot more to prove. I also know that I have to work to get better and I am willing to do that. I consider myself a football player first, ready to play anywhere, ready to learn, ready to help my team win!"<br>About record keeping, Robbie is a firm believer. "I realize I must keep improving and I am encouraged that I will do so based on the documented progress that I have made since the fifth grade." Whether it be our Set Rep Logs or our Record Cards or even just a piece of paper, it is very important to keep track of your progress. Your records not only give you a sense of progress and accomplishment but they also stand as a constant reminder that you can keep improving areas? Personal records are meticulously kept in order to verify that improvement. That is what drives throwers and most athletes. Therefore, even throwers at the HIT schools do the secret. We at BFS are the same way. We constantly measure our prformance. We need concrete proof that we are getting better every day. <br>Stefan Fernholm was a Discus thrower from Sweden wo came to BYU to compete at the college level. He broke the NCAA collegiate record and was a past Olympian. Stefan became a part of BFS in the mid-1980 s. e owe him a great deal. He bridged the gap between the United States and the old Soviet Union. Stefan was privy and knowledgeable about the Soviet training methods. The Soviets spent hundreds of million of dollars on developing their system. They took the secret in the early 1970 s and elevated it to new levels. They took training very seriously. Their coaches, for example, could get a doctorate in discus, sprinting or weight lifting at the University of Moscow.<br>Stefan took full advantage of this knowledge. I have never seen an athlete like Stefan. For thosewho saw Stefan,you know I am not blowing smoke. Stefan weighed 273 at a little over 6-1 in height. He could run a legitimate 4.3 forty and Power Clement, some type of plyometrics-although they may not call it plyometrics, preferring the term  speed training.  <br>Over his years of experi
