They focused on the  now in everything they did, whether it was pre-season workouts, two-a-day practices or season practices and games. <br>Coach Weiss commented,  We played with a sense of focus and desire in everything we did. Prior to the 2001 season, Chisago Lakes had won only one play-off football game in school history. The general feeling about football outside the team was that we never would or could be successful. Our players had a different set of ideas and beliefs. Our focus on positive mental attitude was as important as strength training. The 2001 season was the year to  turn this thing around . . . right now [lyrics from the Van Halen song].<br><br><br><br><br>What s Next?<br><br>Coach Weiss realizes that, although this year was a pivotal point in Wildcat history, work still needs to be done. His program is a work in progress. He knows that complacency is an enemy that would bring to his program nothing but degeneration---there is always room for improvement. With all the ideas and traditions that make his team unique, fun and successful, Coach Wiess knows that one of the most important traditions is the drive to always learn more and do better. <br>To facilitate his desire to always improve, Coach Weiss has already begun making plans for BFS to return, and he stated,  I plan on having a clinic every three years as new athletes and coaches cycle into the high school athletic program. Or, possibly every year to have  refresher courses about specific lifts such as the power clean. <br>Now that the Wildcats have won the sectional championship, the obvious next step is the state championship. As they continue to improve and push themselves to new levels, this highest achievement will become more and more feasible. Is it possible? Sure it is! 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 the bench 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 ti
