Two-Time BFS All-American
TIM'S PROGRESS CHART Squatting 415 is child's play for Tim Moore l Tim's great training buddy, Ray Valladao, squatting 505.
Tim Moore is a two time BFS All-American football player from Atwater High School in California. His head football coach, Mike Burrows, reports Tim has been AULeague Player and the League's Lineman-of-the-Year. In addition, Tim has been selected as an All-District, All-Area and All-Northern California offensive tackle. To top that, Tim Moore is a 1984-85 All-American representing three different teams. Obviously the colleges were really excited about Tim. After visiting some of the most prestigious football schools in the country, Tim chose Nebraska. As you can see from Tim's Progress Chart, he started out big.
However, if Tim Moore had said, "Hey, look at me, I don't need to work, I'm already there," he wouldn't be going to Nebraska. Coach Burrows states, "Tim is a very dedicated lifter who emphasizes squats, benches, cleans, dead lifts, push presses, inclines and declines." Tim works out with Ray Valladao. They have been work-out partners since their freshman years. They push each other and provide each other with motivation. Ray is 6-2, 240 and squats 500, benches 350 and dead lifts 550' They both compete in the shot and discus. As juniors in the Northern California Finals, Ray placed 4th and Tim 5th.
Ray placed 7th in the State with a 57-6 shot and Coach Burrows feels confident that both Ray and Tim should go well over 60 feet this spring. Ray and Tim played side by side on both offense and defense and were awesome. Atwater's fullback broke the school record (1110 yards) with a 9.8 yards per carry effort. The tailback had 927 yards and 7.4 yards per carry. The offensive team averaged 359 total yards per game while making the playoffs. Since Ray and Tim have been playing together since the ninth grade, the combined record is 33-51. Their class was the first to run Coach Burrows system and strength program for 4 years.
Tim maintains a B - grade average and works hard on his agility, dot drill and running. His training involves lifting 2 hours 3 days per week in addition to throwing the shot and discus. Tim and Ray take a firm position on drugs, "We try to influence it ouL" They also do not believe taking steroids is the way to go either. I asked Tim what advice he might have for younger athletes and he replied, "Be a leader and encourage others. Things don't always come easy. You've got to work hard. 60% of football is your off-season work." Tim's favorite pro team is Miami and Mat Miller his favorite player.
Good luck and continued success to Mike Burrows, Atwater High School, Ray Valladao and Tim Moore on his new Quest for Greatness at Nebraska.
