Many teams would have been exhausted after that workout but not the Golden Hawks. That was their warm-up for the dead lift.<br>I could not believe what I saw next. Coach Tomberlin roped off an area with two platforms. Each platform had 500 pounds on the bar. The audience assembled and watched one player after another dead lift 500 pounds. This was the starting poundage. They were already warmed up. Fifty-one football players got 500 pounds!<br>The electricity in the air was awesome. Tomberlin's team believes they are the strongest team in America. They believe in Golden Hawk football. They believe in each other. They believe they can win the state championship. They believe. The community believes. It is something you can tell your grand kids one day. "Back in high school, I lifted 500 pounds!" Confidence, self-esteem, attitude, loyalty and togetherness: all these essential ingredients that make up a championship team all came to a raging positive boil in just 30 minutes. It was one remarkable scene.<br>Six hundred pounds was loaded onto the bar for the next record. Intensity rose another notch. Eleven players reached this level. Fifty-one at 500 or more and eleven at 600 pounds. Both new national BFS records.<br>Coach Tomberlin shouted above the dim of excitement, "What's the national record for most weight ever lifted?"<br>"Seven thirty," I responded loudly. Tyler Biggins, a huge 290-pound returning starter, stepped forward. Six hundred had gone easy. I felt he had a shot. A new record weight was eased onto the bar: seven 45's on each end, along with a 25 and a 5-pound plate.<br>Everybody was going crazy. Everyone was shouting and chanting, "Tyler, Tyler, Tyler." He chalked up! He tightened the lifting straps around the bar. He pulled with all his might. The bar inched upward. The noise was deafening. Past his knees... then lockout! Tyler did it!<br>What a night. I relearned a coaching lesson. Coaching is more than X's and O's. It is more than periodization and learning the Krebs Cycle. Coaching correctly calls for passion. Coaching correctly means dealing with the human spirit! It means changing lives for the better. It is about leadership and team. It is about building and achieving.<br>No matter what happens in the future to each Golden Hawk football player, they will have a night to always remember. They will always be able to dream big. with 225 pounds.<br><br> Luckily, I was blessed with speed and strength. Also, someone was still willing to give me a chance, recalled Kevin.  When a cat s trapped in a corner, it s going to scratch and claw to force its way out or die trying. That was Kevin s feeling when he stepped up to the starting line of the race of his life. There were about 100 watches on him. If ever there was a time to raise up, this was it.<br><br>Several watches clocked Kevin at 4.1 in his forty essive fact is that T.J. is also a Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E) Role Model and has made a conscious decision to stay alcohol and chemical free, something he feels is imperative as an athlete.  If you are going to participate in athletics, commitment is a year round thing, he states.  You cannot be truly committed to your coaches and teammates and then put yourself i
