I think you can tell that my enthusiasm for BFS is hard to hide. My athletic director allowed me to implement BFS in our classes. I had all sorts of kids signed up for the class and they all loved it. Due to remodeling, we had to move our weight room several times and for the next month we won t have a weight room. Kids you would never expect to lift weights are itching to get back to the BFS Program. They say they are losing their edge. Some have even gone out to gyms to continue there. If schools want that kind of participation, they need to have a clinic and get the BFS Total Program going in their school.<br>____________________<br><br>BFS: What was involved in moving your weight room?<br><br>Coach Ewald: During the summer, we had to move our weight room into the wrestling room. When the school needed the wrestling room back this fall, we moved the weights to the bus storage room. The kids said they couldn t go without their two in-season workouts so the team went down and pulled out the squat racks, benches and bars for the power clean and we did our workouts in that cramped area. The kids wouldn t have it any other way.<br>____________________<br><br>BFS: Do you have all sports doing BFS?<br><br>Strength Coach Godfrey: We have girls gymnastics, girls volleyball, baseball, wrestling, boys basketball, football and the throwers in track doing BFS. I think that soon the remaining few will be doing it too.<br>____________________<br><br>BFS: How do the girls like the program?<br><br>Strength Coach Godfrey: I have a lot of girls on the program. They love the program too. It is great to have them in the weight room because they have no egos when working out. The boys are learning a lot from the girls. The girls are dedicated to perfect technique and know that with perfect technique, the weight will follow.<br><br>____________________<br><br>Thank you Coach Ewald and Coach Godfrey for sharing your championship experiences with us. You are both true Elevens!basketball teams, Mears is ranked in the top 15th percentile of his class academically.  Andre epitomizes what an Eleven should be, says Lloyd.  He s a leader in the weight room, and he is always willing to help teach and motivate new athletes in the program. He s also a hard worker, and this year improved his 40 time by 2/10ths, and added 65 pounds to his Hex bar max and 95 pounds to his parallel squat. <br>Another standout is Justin Ritter, a junior who increased his bench press 60 pounds this past year to break an APAWPA world record for his age group (255 pounds at 165 pounds bodyweight). Another junior, Thomas Wright, increased his power clean by 60 pounds and his squat by 75 pounds last year.  After a discussion with clinician Bobby Poss, I began holding a fitness competition in May that tests athletes on the bench press, parallel squat, NFL shuttle, 40-yard sprint, and the Smyrna shuttle [a 300-yard shuttle, broken down into 30-yard sprints]. The athletes received points for the weights lifted and fastest running times. This year the best perfo
