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. hid from drug testing.<br><br>BFS: Do you think Olympic lifting will ever shake the common perception that all the good Olympic lifters are taking drugs?<br>Hamman: I don t know. It s really starting to clean up, and they have formed the World Anti-Doping Association, which is doing some international drug testing. It will never be totally clean no sport is ever going to be totally clean but as for the top lifters in the US, there s absolutely no way that we can take drugs because of how often we re drug tested. Most other countries don t have the random tests like us, so it would be possible for them to still take drugs although I m not sayingthat they are.<br><br>BFS: What s the training atmosphere like at the Olympic training center?<br>Hamman: Everybody is here to be better, so in the gym there s always kind of a psyched feeling. When I m home I train by myself, and I find I cannot lift as much weight.<br><br>BFS: Was it tough for you to leave your home to come to Colorado Springs?<br>Hamman: I had never been away from home until I moved here. I ve got two older brothers and they re married and have kids, so I have all these nieces and nephews and it was hard for me
