VanDeZande s defense held opponents to 14.5 yards per game and ranked in the top eight for total defense with 254.5 yards per game. And VanDeZande thinks the outlook is even better this year.  Last year we had our strongest team ever, but this year we re even stronger. We have several athletes bench pressing over 440 and squatting over 550. <br>In addition to maintaining a sound lifting program, VanDeZande encourages success with a motivation program he calls his  Steak Dinner Club. VanDeZande explains,  We have nine basic tests for football, the core lifts and vertical jump, standing long jump, pro agility shuttle and the BFS dot drill. If an athlete achieves a certain standard in one of those tests, I buy them a steak dinner. The standards include the following: bench press, 400; squat, 500; power clean, 325; power jerk, 315; hex bar deadlift, 650; long jump, 10 feet; vertical jump, 36 inches; pro agility, 4.7 for offensive linemen and 4.2 for all others; and the dot drill, 4.5 seconds for linemen and 4.0 seconds for everyone else.  During spring ball I invite the winners over to my house for a big shindig of steak dinners. I expect to see more than 30 athletes this year. <br>One athlete who has consumed a lot of VanDeZande s steaks is free safety Nick Daniken, who is entering his senior year at SOU. At 5-11 and 205 pounds, Daniken overcame a serious back injury from a car accident in high school to lead the Raiders with 80 total tackles, 37 of them solo. With a 4.54 forty and a 520 squat, Daniken is sure to catch the eye of pro scouts who often visit SOU.<br>VanDeZande s advice to future strength coaches is straight to the point:  Get into the BFS system---no question. When I look at many of the teams we ve hammered despite their superior talent and facilities, it s obvious that if they were doing what they should be doing they would beat us, says VanDeZande.  Also, I would advise young coaches to be open to learning from other coaches and to set high standards. <br>Although his success has afforded him many opportunities to move to larger schools, VanDeZande is very content here.  Southern Oregon University is awesome. Coach Olson is a person of tremendous integrity who has instilled an amazing level of class in this program. As for the Oregon countryside and geography, this is a wonderful place to be. <br><br>You might even say it s perfect.+;=Ԏy{^ CPVt1;4Z|K^k#I_Kay RBJx[ >4S9Ld9{N}}gȖ-g]~`_[OWl\ESNv5hۦၔAR6&pRTފ!{(?w'.tJg$ ٽ$-҄N5Tt0wL|KNfAرfs;/qѼ)y[|~f9EdM9h,y⑑LXj´W|j?MΑNCphYz-0O.r2х xjb d!/;9%$j&"0jwzfM96z:ш݊;gk+!fcSȧw_büa.ztou*ۑe?씮cc{ڢIRkr~t,~Zjͬ:d~TSE%]$wOh%zhx 'V_z]%r=Yw%ŠtW[{P^BOo1@ =^0iX^CI'Һ*(;?eRxY5:r % H7:9JB{(r3m~VyZEKQ@Odn~}{VTi V+7 x니'C~WJssO[Esp*ޞㅿƘE- xjM1z ui:UYf$I&H6`b&Yb ~4OK ?WK>5rCcwvGGSї#̵}5rd~T&~VZ3 j|@a{`$ TգsgGAz> ;y{VEB=̛8:+{/]bwܵO`ea\?9A 1Su={6F$fa]5g Awa|c3ՙ(/qUʴ2J;cIk} ֵ ~=O% X_HˑX'zʿG?'R[h#_Ÿ_[j/me;o}=M*G݋/b>0(4*GN%Z БQB:vǏ2 r ]2ʝ,+gxJqsYյۗMiR!y8Ɔ:oۿˋhڨn`Hd!
