In baseball, Robbie was voted "Defensive Player of the Midwest Region Tournament" in the Pony League three years ago. His 8th grade year he went 16-0 in wrestling and was the County Champ. He also ran track and competed in the 100m, 100m low hurdles, and relays. "But," he says, "the sport I love the most is football. Everything I do is to help me improve for football." <br>In football, Robbie is now the running back. He is also on the special teams and punts. He hopes to play some defense next year. About football he says, "I love to hit and I am always working to improve my overall athletic abilities. I have been taught that talk is cheap and that actions speak louder than words. I have a lot more to prove. I also know that I have to work to get better and I am willing to do that. I consider myself a football player first, ready to play anywhere, ready to learn, ready to help my team win!"<br>About record keeping, Robbie is a firm believer. "I realize I must keep improving and I am encouraged that I will do so based on the documented progress that I have made since the fifth grade." Whether it be our Set Rep Logs or our Record Cards or even jut a piece of paper, it is very important to keep track of your progress. Your records not only give you a sense of progress and accomplishment but they also stand as a constant reminder that you can keep improving and that you can accomplish your goals and dreams. <br>Another attribute that makes Robbie a cut above the rest is his thankful attitude. He says, "I am thankful for getting your BFS books back then, along with the excellent coaching that I have received over the past few years, the competition my teammates constantly provide, and the positive support of my parents." Robbie feels a great respect and love for all those who have helped him and continue to help him accomplish his goals. <br>Because of Robbie's great attitude andf attaining your goals. <br><br>Witness any Tuesday/Thursday sprint workout on the Somerset track and anyone could easily understand the level of focus each player had throughout the summer. It was easy to see that each player believed in the vision and had their eyes on the glory. Faced with a workout of 8x200, 16x100, and 12x50 early in the morning before temperatures reached 90+, none of the boys said a whole lot. Once into the workout there was not much time for talking. Learning to rest, however, became as important as learning to work hard. After all, completing a tough sprint workout was an everyday goal for each player and the team.  No one ever questioned why, senior linebacker Andrew Neuman remembers.  We just trusted it would pay off later. This was part of the massive work ethic they all agreed upon. Their ability to stay focused on the glory of attaining their goals would be tested daily throughout the summer and especially during the season. More often than not, it was their intense focus on attaining their goals that lead the Somerset players to victory over the course of the 2002 season.<br><br>Power Axiom #4 <br>We have a date with destiny.<br><br>November 22, 2002. Camp Randall Stadium. Madison, Wisconsin. The Somerset Spartans had battled to the 2002 Division 5 State Football Championship game. Somerset had traveled 250 miles to Madison to play Marshall. More importantly, the Spartans had traveled one year for a date with destiny. It began with a group of ordinary boys working together to achieve the extraordinary. Before a crowd of more than 2,500 Somerset fans (community population: 1,556), the Spartans set out to fulfill what they believed could be done: win the championship. By games end, fans had been treate@?Ietm?\o XX&S b-:v$k}h~Jl~'ż4ۻMJiȅCS @T|A$o ҩclSdwoTRPSJt+?\8vs3rÐBQQ,K2r;u$U }[yt]ɨ^Hb̰~"6܁Qİ~mʒۋx,bhR~*kWmQmF-۩P`[19=Ccý4o%ԺyBGZ U?21okq}3j7zP-R?ybP%Y# ŠfNFq={KnOʀb2e⠳1Q$d#6V H*ǢƉy6(?JyKhcj?f@;܌`ٗA!ЃRݢWWp:VC$gb[(xˑV
