TOUGH ENOUGH?
Editor's Note: The Comanche Club was the brainchild of the University of Utah Strength Coach Sam Varner. Sam does clinics for Bigger Faster Stronger and is a Regional Representative of the NSCA. Several high schools have instituted their own version of the Comanche Club after Coach Varner’s BFS Clinics. It has met with so much success we thought you'd like us to share the Comanche Club's concept.
I started the Comanche Club to develop football team unity. I wanted to challenge our guys. I wanted to push them to different levels. I came up with the first two workouts and then the players came up with their Darrin Ward on left is a Sophomore. own. I couldn’t believe it. They were harder than anything I could have come up with.
We also went to other sports and school events together to show our support. It was a prestige thing to be in the Comanche Club. I'll tell you, Comanche Club. it took a lot of guts and discipline to be in and stay in our Comanche Club. If you were one minute late, you were out. One player missed a 3:00 AM meeting by two minutes. He was out. It’s a discipline thing.
We developed great bonds of friendship. You might think that only lineman wanted to be in it. One of our main guys was QB Scott Mitchell our All-American and Heisman Trophy Candidate. Our Comanche Club was for anybody and everybody. Sam Varner — Strength and Conditioning Coach 2.

READINESS PROGRAM RECORD BOOK AND VIDEO THE BFS READINESS PROGRAM Our BFS Readiness Program has met with great success for four full years. This pioneering program emphasizes the importance of Great Technique. In fact, you cannot increase in weight until the athletes perform every rep with the approved technique guidelines. This prevents excessive loads from being placed on young frames. An easy way to get an edge on your opponents in high school is to prepare and motivate the junior high athlete. The BFS Readiness Program does just that! Each athlete should have the Record Book and see the Video. It will help a class, or an individual, visually understand what to do.
* For All Athletes Beginning in 7th Grade Easy To Understand!
