EDEN PRAIRIE WINS STATE WITH BFS!
Championship Football
By Mike Grant, Head Football Coach
Published: Fall 1997

In 1992 we took over a program that had won five games in three years in one of the top leagues in Minnesota football.  Since 1992, Eden Prairie has won three conference championships, one state title, in 1996, and accumulated a 44-9 record over those five years.  Many people ask what we did to turn this program around and there are many ingredients.  One of the most important parts of the puzzle was the establishment of Bigger Faster Stronger as our football and our school's base lifting program.

In 1992 we began our first day of practice with a Bigger Faster Stronger clinic put on by Bob Rowbotham.  We let our players know from the first day that we are going to focus on core lifts and we will emphasize explosiveness.  Over the past five years, we have had an additional all school clinic put on by Coach Bob Rowbotham and we have coordinated our lifting into our curriculum with our weight training classes being called BFS.

Over time we hawWB@0>~5n6w{J,0>6w ZJ,0>6wxzbJ,0>6wJ,0>6wgJ,0>6wJ,0>6wsJ,0>6wxJ,0>6wjJ,0>6w`J,0>6wtJ,0>6wJ,0>6w(nJ,0>6wJ,0>6wwJ,0>6wPJ,0>6w8eJ,0>6w J,0>6w}J,0>6w8J,0>6wxuJ,0>6wJ,0>6wxJ,0>6w@J,0>6wfJ,0>6wXJ,0>6wxhJ,0>6wJ,0>6wJ,0>6wfJ,0>6w0J,0>6wHiJ,0>6wJ,0>6wjJ,0>6wJ,0>6wkJ,0>6w"J,0>6wJ,0>6wXJ,0>6w؀J,0>6wJ,0>6w8J,0>6wJ,0>6wxJ,0>6w$J,0>6wJ,0>6wpJ,0>6wJ,0>6w(J,0>6wHJ,0>6wТJ,0>6wkJ,0>6wJ,0>6wHnJ,0>6w J,0>6wJ,0>]5 42" target = "_blank">Printer Friendly Version

MAKE A STATE-CHAMPIONSHIP EFFORT TODAY
Coach Freeborn gives insight to what it means to Be An Eleven.
By Roger Freeborn
Published: Spring 2000

Encourage each other in Mind, Body, and Spirit. Hold each other accountable. Chuck Knoll said, "On every team there is a core group that sets the tone for everyone else." Every team cries out for leadership. On a scale of one to ten, the best leaders work at an eleven pace. If Elevens (people who work at an eleven pace) do not lead the team, then team leadership will fall into the hands of those who would settle for less when more is available.

Marty Schottenheimer points out that "the most successful teams at any level are driven by the players in the locker room, in the weight room, on the practice field, everywhere. Certain standards are set by the players, a certain level of expectation in terms of preparation, effort, and dedication." Tom Osborne emphasizes the importance of preparation stating that 75% or more of a successful season comes from the dedication of the team in preparing during the months prior to the start of the seasV6wV6wV6wV6wV6wXJFIFC    $ &%# #"(-90(*6+"#2D26;=@@@&0FKE>J9?@=C  =)#)==================================================dK" }!1AQa"q2#BR$3br %&'()*456789:CDEFGHIJSTUVWXYZcdefghijstuvwxyz w!1AQaq"2B #3Rbr $4%&'()*56789:CDEFGHIJSTUVWXYZcdefghijstuvwxyz ?l؂v$tkG;t,zn^kӭ-_JsXrʲNqsNoCZ|(6D\0[)=dHpxԎW|r+Gr泝˕'3Fz C _JhwC5zzH;/f5?Hϐ9 ZXml:ެxz{`qGNu)8-|r'e E9œ.%_֯̉nڎ͌tzjGG\R2JslSn^SoMb 1ԖC݅Gyync `}+HTڇ?s-fIeNuuKBw󜞞bK;wQލus/tam^/QJK.Es9J͚_:5LjӚ QKu 3tV7R$Pr} t/]u=n]Wx'8#a_7NX-K`˴S-5QFɒSN*M[=>h[]Ar#W\y⁝~¯wQj*!e'`BKD2 :9=VMBL,`ZБUJ](rJM /"!piǵmrAY$} j0*7_=궟{!)4i˕^Ϲ[+#Hk3ʐVbE48X rաg[ڤNw hl[ǀqޢl@,<^k nԟhFt~mbYu)w v}_Z=9-$lg>< nGEQ56X#ZT~"%}|r(lm@8Y\"sU#V%ݝc SVB:+Z%?C2Nq>Mj6imv[w9 uq$YO+)cUC1gP1nͤd2k HB"o`u&˜``;SG,wmJj/SBB_pĩ%D&=wc֛Z<[i=N5a4^mvG3JorKA .(TuT95ULE?.0GƲZ"-*\g8iOQ[2iwQdܞ\{鲕ֻyk' k^24QWd79w,x ͌gĺ)FTSb+\]BeN=1Nmf E:a'mۼלu7ޙӊ(.$BG'ݫh]EV0l4@n B¹x~E53(~$Q S$y0yKr 8EimJHA^.$Iqg4Qt*;Wxj4$ cuUc [{Ru#{(`j22uzaOqLf=:' ?M3Ҋ`eOnxSKY]Ӿ8R}{RI<$Qqq4qY @)=޶-e`ĮGr:Tb@T]ڦ96fCLܰQiIPݪtnGZR18'"9N1(~("szS)Hޝ<ڀ4SA\q)KyhsIpc `H 6ivcqHA$vG9[#4>uHL,wq) PG\d4ā$SۏP@@8/;c)@oǜTq׿۾zwvRq;SI8`1׀y|Jt'O܂>``` [ iCA#U$?FÌH9ϡTvө?x"2:JPvL82CE{ ڈtaE s9SNO)#=GjMWI4Q@ ҌG^F( `OLt8}hu}i(Jkg*Ǟ(a:( =hnbsp; Our great ones do and our players know that this is the way to the state championship.</P> <P>Our athletes and our lifting program have grown over time.&nbsp; Our basketball team was also introduced to the BFS program.&nbsp; They won the conference for the second year in a row with 8 of the top 10 playeolspan="3"> "ZH**ѵZg#ԑA з5M=O,pcԱ6m`FYz?* ʠ$us:۝6>$\ {WyvwxQ5F
