WҪY9Since Portola is a small school, we have to develop the students we have. We don t have the luxury of the numbers some of the schools have. Most of the best athletes have to play both ways, so our conditioning must be superior. As the 1998 JV team grew into the 2000 Varsity team, their lifting sessions became more intense and dedicated.<br>Our project has been successful. We have restored our self-esteem. Winning has also brought the community together to support our football program.  It is all worth the effort, to see our players faces after our division championship, said coach Bass. More students have expressed an interest in playing next year. Our next challenge is now on our doorstep. Can we sustain this energy level? I believe so, with the help of the Bigger Faster Stronger Program.<br><br>" <br>The BFS Program provides a plan the athletes love, because it is motivational. It promotes goal setting, record breaking and teamwork. Athletes can set PR s everyday! The athletes want to continue lifting. It is no longer just hard work, it is FUN!<br> --Howard Thomas Coach Graves.  I promised him and I had to keep my promise. If you promise something, you have an obligation to keep that promise. <br> Last summer I worked out harder than ever before. I got stronger really fast. I feel really light on my feet now that my weight is down to 268 pounds. I m glad I came back. If everybody would see me workout, coach Graves told me, they would respect me more. It s also better to be leaner. Chris is now running a 4.6 forty with a 33 vertical jump. His strength is up to a 455 Bench, a 200 Squat, a 328 Power Clean and 345-pound Incline.<br> Chris shook his head,  I don t think anything when people say that I m so fast being so big because I have so many friends that can do the same thing. We have 300 pounders in my neighborhood even quicker than I am. <br>Chris realizes the importance of his education and what it means to his future. He turns his assignments in on time and has a 2.7 GPA.  I want to be a teacher and work with kids back home in Hawaii, said Chris.  A lot of kids are hard headed like me. The age I like best is from 10 to 12. That s when they start to change. In my neighborhood there are gangs and drugs. The last time I went home two kids got killed in a gang war right in front of my home.<br> I d like to be an elementary school teacher and coach little league football. Chris feels little league would be more fun.  Whatever happens with money or pro ball, I d still want to teach. I m happy with a simple life. <br>Chris would be also happy with a Luau everyday. He doesn t eat poi but does eat taro and bakes it like a potato. He doesn t particularly like food here on the mainland. Chris is trying to eat a lot of salads now to keep his weight down.  But it is real hard, admitted Chris. You should have seen Chris eyes light up when I told him about the new BFS nutrition plan explained in this journal.<br> Chris has always tried to keep himself clean as far as drugs and alcohol.  I have never had a drink in high school or here at Utah, confided Chris.  My whole life people have always asked me to drink. But if people push you about it, they aren t really your friends. My teammates don t bother me here at Utah. They tell me it is cool that I don t drink. <br>Chris laughed,  Maybe I would drink if you could find somebody tough enoug
