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, wich 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 that  you really do control your own destiny.' By that, I mean if you're willing to do things right, you can be successful. And the d Adobed         xOQce the difference.

Photo Eight: Shows correct toe alignment in the BFS One on the Bench stretch. The toes should be straight, not flopped over as in Photo Nine. Again, once you teach the Toes as one of the Six Absolutes, all you have to shout while coaching is that one word, Toes! Athletes will correct themsees. It makes your coaching life easier and a lot more fun.
Photo Ten: Shows poor toe alignment. Look at the front foot in our BFS Hip Flexor stretch. Toes should not be pointed out. The toes should be straight as shown in the correct position of Photo Eleven.

Our Next Issue: We will discuss correct knee alignment. This will conclude our series on the Six Absolutes of techniquend coaching. To get the previous articles on the Six Absolutes, log on to our web site at BiggerFasterStronger.com. There, as a BFS Team Member, you will have access to these articles plus every BFS article written in the last five years. Until then, keep those Toes Aligned!

The BFS Six Absolutes

1. Use an Athletic or Jump Stance
2. Be Tall
3. Spread the Chest
4. Toes Aligned
5. Knees Aligned (Knees over toes)
6. Eyes On Target
Presidents Note: In past issues, I introduced the Six Absolutes, which illustrated how coaching techniques in the weight room can be easy and amazingly effective in teaching and learning perfect technique. All coaches and athletes should use the Six Absolutes when coaching or spotting. You can also use these Six Absolutes when coaching any sport. $$|p E set by Kamy Keshmiri (1987).
