Fyffe High School
Last Year 0-10 This Year 8-2 Area 16 CHAMPS CLASS AA ALABAMA Coach Ronnie Haushalter At Fyffe High School, we have gone through all the various stages of trying to improve our strength, size and speed. We started with a multi-station Universal Gym, we could work a lot of athletes in a short period of time but were not getting the results we were hunting. We then progressed to using some of the Universal Stations in conjunction with body building. Working on having good looking bodies with a lot of muscle definition. We were doing numerous repetitions with moderate weights. This was definitely not what we wanted to improve our performance as athletes.
Then I received a BFS Journal. I read it and was definitely impressed so I purchased your book BIGGER FASTER STRONGER. We have always been fortunate in our school with boys who are not scared to work hard. We purchased your set-rep-log and went to work very seriously. Our kids were breaking records every time they went into the weight room, and we were all becoming excited. Our boys were lifting and handling huge amounts of weight. We decided to follow the outline of a weight lifting meet in your book. We invited seven other schools to compete in our meet. We won the team competition (seven first places, four second places). All the other schools were much larger in enrollment.
J feel your BFS Program, along with a group of very dedicated kids, are responsible for us going from 0-10 to Area Champs in Alabama. Ronnie Haushalter, Head Football Coach TERRY LONG ALL- AMERICAN!

MARK CISCO, Head Football Coach of Monroe High School, South of Detroitwentl0-0 lastfall Coach Cisco had a BFS Clinic in February and I brought Mark Eaton along for a training session while the Utah Jazz were in Detroit for a game. Needless to say the Monroe High School students went crazy seeing the 7-4 giant lift the day before a game. After the clinic, Coach Cisco and I saw Mark play well and the Jazz win. J guess the bug was catching because his kids worked hard and were undefeated.
