These results put him well into the national rankings, and are impressive even by today's standards.<br>In addition to his love of lifting, Mike instilled in Casey a disciplined work ethic.  My attitude towards my son is that if you're going to be an athlete, why not be the best that you can possibly be? Mike also says that much of what he learned about coaching philosophy he learned from the time he spent in the Marine Corps, which he joined after college.  The Marine Corps taught me how to achieve success through hard work and determination. I try to coach with that same attitude. <br>What does Casey think about his dad's coaching style?  He's really intense, and I guess you would say a perfectionist--but I know it's for the best. As for Mike's attitude toward his premier athlete, he said,  Casey is a model son. He's very focused, an outstanding student (with 3.83 grade average!), and he works his butt off in the gym. People ask if he's stubborn? He's 16 years old-how would you answer that? He's normal. <br>In addition to the guidance and support of his father, Casey has another weightlifting role model to inspire him, Olympian and still one of America's best lifters, Tommy Gough. When he lived near the Burgeners' home in Bonsall, California, Mike provided Tommy coaching support and a place to train.  Tommy was always one of Casey's idols, says Mike, and adds that Casey would measure himself in comparison to Tommy's accomplishments.  Whatever Tommy did at his age, Casey would always want to match or beat that. He wanted to have the same success as Tommy. <br>Casey agrees,  I've been looking up to Tommy since I started weightlifting. I admire his courage and motivation--he's 100 percent focused on lifting. There were times when we would invite him for dinner and he would say  No, no-I have to finish my workout first.  <br>As for non-American lifters, Casey admires Stefan Botev, a Bulgarian who could outlift the super heavyweight Vasili Alexseev despite giving up over 100 pounds of bodyweight to the great Russian.  I love watching Stefan lift--he's so amazing, so incredibly strong. He also admires 1996 Olympic Champion in the 238-pound class Timur Taimazov of the Ukraine.  His technique is good, not great, but he's very strong, says Casey.  Whenever he lifts, the weights look like nothing for him. <br><br>Training for Gain<br><br>As a coach, Mike believes that Casey's greatest physical talent as a weightlifter is his athleticism.  Casey's Snatch is much ahead of his clean and Jerk at this point, and that's because of his neuromuscular abilities. Casey's technique is awesomving a class every day in one room wasn t enough, so the principal, the vice-principal and I made another weight room. We called BFSand bought four more squat racks and five more benches, and platforms and dumbbells and a hip sled. We bought all of it just for the new room and now we get about 300 kids going through the program every day.<BR><BR>What has been the effect of the BFS program at Riverton High School in regard to athletic performance?<BR><BR>Last year we made the state playoffs in football, which we felt great about because we only started seven seniors. The first year we had only about one month of lifting because the school had just opened up, so we were very weak. Now th
