As for his favorite lift, Tomberlin definitely favors the power clean. "I know that the squat is the king of all exercises, but we think the athletic movement of the power clean, is very similar to that of blocking and tackling. And we believe that in football, the better tackling teams win so we put major emphasis on the power clean."<br><br>The strength gain from their weight training program really showed in Washington's defense, as evidenced by the fact that Carrollton was able to gain only one yard rushing in the championship game. It also makes the Golden Hawks' offense especially tough to beat in the fourth quarter. This was never more evident than in last year's championship game, in which they overcame a 21-0 fourth quarter deficit to win 22-21.<br><br>With these accomplishments in the weight room and on the field, it's no wonder Coach Tomberlin is a strong supporter of BFS. "I think it's the best program you can use for high school athletes. From a time management standpoint, we usually don't have two to three hours that we can spend in a weightroom generally we're going to have only 55 minutes. The BFS program is centered around the larger muscle groups, and has you working muscles that you use in running, jumping, blocking and tackling. What I also like is that the BFS program doesn't require a tremendous expense to get started with. Also, it's already thought out for you in terms of sets and reps, and you can see immediate results. That's why it's the only program we teach."<br><br>As the athletic director, head strength coach and former PE director, Tomberlin has also been able to thoroughly integrate the BFS program into the school curriculum. "We teach seven weight training classes a day and they are open to anyone with a burning desire to become bigger, faster and stronger. We look at these classes as upper-level PE classes, and take them just as seriously as our Algebra and English teachers take their classes."<br><br>Weightlifting is also a competitive sport at Washington County, and the school goes to at least one weightlifting competition a year. "We usually take two teams, an elite team and another team for anyone who wants to go, and we've never lost," says Tomberlin. "In fact, two years ago we took six girls and two won their weight classes against boys!"<br><br>The Master Motivator<br><br>To keep his players motivated during the off-season, Tomberlin has initiated such award programs as "Lifter of the Week" and T-shirts for perfect attendance in the voluntary summer program. He also gives Super Hawk engraved baseball caps to players who he says "have really laid it on the line" in the weightroom. And then there's the most prestigious award, the Golden Hawk, which is given to the player the coaching staff believes "best represents the attitude we have in the off-season." For this presentation, Tomberlin brings out television and newspaper media and gives the athlete a plaque to commemorate the experience. This year the winner of the Golden Hawk was quarterback Terrence Edwards, who was also selected as the Gatorade Circle of Champions Player of the Year for Georgia.<br><br>Tomberlin played football at Florida State, but the college program he and his coaching staff most admire is Nebraska's. "We like their attitude, we like the fact that they put a big emphasis on strength and conditioning, and we like their style of offensive football. Tom Osborne is a guy with great character, and he believes in being thorough and working very hard. That's the way we approach the game."<br><br>Tomberlin believes his calling and his niche is working with high-school-age athletes. "They need role models at that age desperately because they're receiving a lot of different signals from a lot of people. The biggest thing that I try to tell them, if I could put it into one sentence, is
