It was at their tournaments that I realized that as good as our strength program was, theirs was better. West Monroe and Evangel are both on the Bigger Faster Stronger Total Program. <br>What makes the BFS Total Program so unique is that the players are highly motivated. They break records and chart their records every time they go into the weight room. This creates competition. The players compete with themselves and their teammates. By charting record breaks, the players can see immediate progress in strength and speed. The players and coaches can keep track of record breaks and improvements. Every player on our team has told me that they think the BFS Total Program is the best. They love the program and believe that it has improved them both physically and mentally. Each player is motivated and challenged. They are so excited to get into the weight room each day to break records and become an upper limit athlete. We post all core lifts, rep maxs, and percentages from our off-season total program during that four-month period. <br>What makes BFS so unique is the total program concept. It combines flexibility, agility, core lifts, plyometrics and sprint work combined with the motivation and charting which is a must for any sport in order to reach your full potential as an athlete. Since we began the BFS Total Program, our players have increased their strength by at least 33% on core lifts. Our average varsity starter bench presses 304 pounds, power cleans 226 pounds, box squats 458 pounds, and squats 400 pounds. <br>Our baseball program is so convinced and our progress is so dramatic that our football team has changed their strength training program to BFS. Our basketball program also was using a successful college strength program and began using the BFS Total Program four months ago. They have experienced tremendous strength and speed improvements like our baseball program has. It is so exciting now that our football, basketball and baseball programs are all on the BFS Total Program. Since we share athletes, it creates unity, competition and a smooth transition from one sport to the next.<br><br><br>COMMENTS <br>BY DR. GREG SHEPARD<br><br>Coach Glenn Cecchini is my kind of coach. The man is passionate about his program and his players. He and his wife Raissa coach together and share this passion. They make a wonderfully unique team. Coach Cecchini is adamant about setting off-season and in-season goals. He records everything. His goals include a variety of strength goals with a Dot Drill and 60-yard dash goal. The goals set for the 2000 baseball season were indeed ambitious but the Barbe High School team had already achieved their off-seae that each player believed in the vision and had their eyes on the glory. Faced with a workout of 8x200, 16x100, and 12x50 early in the morning before temperatures reached 90+, none of the boys said a whole lot. Once into the workout there was not much time for talking. Learning to rest, however, became as important as learning to work hard. After all, completing a tough sprint workout was an everyday goal for each player and the team.  No one ever questioned why, senior linebacker Andrew Neuman remembers.  We just trusted it would pay off later. This was part of the massive work ethic they all agreed upon. Their ability to stay focused on the glory of attaining their goals would be tested daily throughout the summer and especially during the season. More oftene on the
