First, and most important, it has unified all the sport programs. Coaches who at one point were only interested in students playing their sport, are now working together with other coaches for the student-athletes to be more well rounded. The faculty has picked up on the program, whether it s in the new cardio room (donated by the Donovan family), doing the Tae-Be fitness tapes, or just lifting weights. They have become part of our weight-room family. Even our school priest, Father Bob Tynski, has become a die-hard liftr. One of our highlightswas cheering on Father Bob as he attempted a 300 pound bench. When he cleared the lift, high fives and smiles filled the room as he signed his name on the 300 pound bench wall. The local papers have also picked up on the program, with several articles being written. Even as far away as West Virginia University, they have heard of the Notre Dame lifting program.<br>When the program first started there was only one 300-pound bencher and the parallel squat was unheard of. After just 5 months of the BFS system, along with alternative exercises picked up from Al Johnson (WVU) and Brian Neese (1999 America s Strongest Man Champion), our testing prior to football camp came with great strides in the right direction. Sixteen players tested at 300 or better in the bench press and great technique was obtained in the parallel squat. That year, the football team went 7 and 3, with a loss in the State playoff first round. The biggest thing that most players liked about their first year of BFS was that they got stronger as the season went on.<br><br>PRE-SEASON TESTS<br><br>It is said that championships are won from January through August, so back to work we went. Sticking to the plan and fine tuning our program, we were thrilled with our pre-2000 season test.<br>On thebench press, 33 players lifted 300 pounds or more and 4 players bench pressed over 400 pounds. On the parallel squat, there were 18 players over 400 pounds. Dot drill times improved an average of 13 seconds per player. Team times for the 40-yard dash improved .02 seconds. Our biggest improvement was Ryan Jenkins, a senior (Captain) defensive tackle. Ryan went from a 5.38 forty time to a 4.9. Jenkins was also one of those 400 plus in the bench and squat. Ryanship to Mt. Vernon High School the following week, but their 8-3 record and district championship made all their hard work well worth the effort. Reflecting on the strtling reversal from their preceding season s 2-8 record, Coach Leib gave the primary credit to the hard work of his player. He felt that their commitment to the BFS program, particularly the parallel squatting and box jumps, greatly increased their explosive power and speed. He is convinced that as a team they were stronger at the end of the year than at the beginning.<br>Coach Leib, who at one time in his first year of coaching at Madison had 14 players on the injured list, believes that BFS limited the number and severity of injuries his team suffered, He still marvels at the beded Head Coach Glen Scala, when discussing the team's success. The BFS program helped unify the Panthers as a team and gave them self-confidence and a winning attitude. These simple but key ingredients were what gave the Panthers that winning edge to be labeled undefeaed League Champions.<br>The Panthers advanced on to the state playoffs but much to their misfortune they lost a close game by seven points.
