I came from a large 5A school in Indiana that didn t place a huge emphasis on in-season training. Certainly there wasn t a unified program there, which is absolutely the way to go at small schools. At small schools you have to share athletes, so you have to have in-season and year-round training, as well as unification. But the fact is if I were at a big school again, I d want a unified program because I ve seen the benefits. <br>Another feature about BFS that caught Thomas attention was the emphasis the program places on having athletes record their results each day and on setting goals and continually breaking records. At Garrett the coaches emphasize goal setting by keeping girls and boys record boards for the bench press, squat, power clean, total lift, 40 and vertical jump.  The record board is a great way to motivate our athletes. We also give them T-shirts for bench marks in the total, such as 800-pound total, 900-pound total, and 1,000-pound total. <br>Such accountability, says Thomas, helps motivate Garrett s athletes.  You can just see it in their eyes when they tell us how many records they want to break during that day s workout. They become convinced that the program will make them better  they get hooked! Also hooked is the administration.<br> Our administration is on board with our weight training program as well, and this spring and summer they are upgrading our weight room, says Thomas.  It was clear to all of us that the expansion had to happen, since approximately one-third of the entire student body, including non-athletes enrolled in weight training classes held during regular school hours, are using the weightroom. And the interest continues to grow.<br> We re trying to get more weight training classes so our athletes don t have to lift after practice, says Thomas,  And with our success in sports there are a lot more kids who want to be a part of our athletic program right now. But it s very hard to add classes now because of the financial crunch in education and because we would have to hire another teacher to teach health. That s something we re going to have to take a serious look at. <br><br>Switching Tracks<br><br>In 2005 the Railroaders will change football conferences, although they will keep two local rivals. Thomas says the school s athletic success and his own enthusiasm will not change.  I really do love it here. We have a great administration, from our superintendent s office to our high school principal to our athletic director  these are just great guys. We have a great football staff, and we have coaches in other sports who are good people to work with. <br>Is there a concern that the athletes will get complacent about their success?  No, not with the coaches we have at this school, says Thomas.  With football we will have 17 kids on next year s team who either started for us or who played a ton of football for us, and the
