Eight of his players have been drafted by the major leagues. His career coaching record is 287 wins and 85 losses for a winning percentage of .772.<br><br>In 1999, Glenn and Raissa Cecchini published their book, 101 Championship Baseball Drills.<br>------------------------------------------------------<br><br>In 1996 Greg Shepard called me because I had a first-round draft choice, Joe Lawrence, a 16th round pick of the Toronto Blue Jays. Joe was also a Parade All-American. Greg called all the coaches who had Parade All-American selections for an article he was doing. At the time I was proud of our strength program and felt we had a good program. Greg agreed that we were doing some good things, however, he suggested we could get better and faster results on the Bigger Faster Stronger Total Program. The baseball article in the BFS Journal was entitled  You ain t seen nothin yet. He was referring to all the home runs that were being hit and the future home runs that were going to be hit at all levels of baseball as a result of strength raining. There were two awesome photos of two athletes in action. It just showed their legs and hips which looked the same. One was Stefan throwing the Discus and the other was of Sammy Sosa hitting a home run. I learned that strength development for any athlete should concentrate on the lower body but I still was not open to change.<br>In 1998 we won the 5A High School Baseball State Championship (5A is the highest classification in Louisiana). After the completion of the season, we have individual and team meetings with the players to evaluate our season, including team and individual goals. During this time, we gave the players an opportunity to express themselves freely concerning any area in which they felt we could improve for the next season. The players almost unanimously felt they had been worn down during the season especially later in the year. They felt we needed an in-season strength training program as well as an off-season strength program.<br>In 1999, for the first time, we implemented an in-season training program used by two successful college baseball programs. We had tremendous success. We hit a state record of 76 home runs and the 5th highest total ever hit in the nation. Barbe won 47 consecutive games dating back to the 1998 season. But even with all this success and a good in-season and off-season program, we continually strive for improvement and excellence. During our season, we travel to baseball tournaments at West Monroe and Evangel High Schools who are national power houses in football. 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 g
