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. ing up other things to workout. I worked out many times by myself when no one else wanted to in high school. <br>Brandon is extremely lean and has been measured at only 5% body fat. He has never taken  andro and Brandon said,  I don't even take creatine anymore. As far as steroids, I haven't been aware of any athletes on steroids. I certainly would not even consider them. People I know just take the legal stuff. <br>Brandon also has some strong feelings on drugs, alcohol and tobacco.  I have no tolerance period on drugs. I just don't understand the people who take them. They are illegal for a reason. I don't like being around people who do drugs. In fact, no one has ever asked me to do drugs. Everyone knows my position.<br> I never drank in high school. I don't like drinking. There are too many things that can go wrong. I will never let anyone get behind a wheel that's been drinking. I don't smoke or chew. I tried to chew once and it made me sick. I don't see how you could ever smoke and play sports. <br>B
