4. At Manassas Park Started with 33 kids on Varsity and JV, increased that to 75. Won the district my last year at 7-3, top 10 defense in state Put more athletes into college than all other sports combined

5. Forest Park Forest Park is a 6a school with 2400 kids that had been opened for 14 years without a winning season Year before I got there 0-10, then 2-8 We went 3-7, 4-6 and then 9-4 and a state quarterfinalist appearance ( we were 8 points from 11-2 Every year we had at least 5 student athletes play at the next level.

6. What kind of offense or defense will we be? Offense- Defense

7. A New Direction and Goals We will have offensive and defensive goals but these are some core principals Work harder than your opponent in everything you do (weight room and classroom) Be better prepared than your opponent Build on core values- discipline (on time, behavior, accountability, work ethic) A positive role model in the school and community

8. On the Field Goals Goal 1- Win more Games than last year Goal 2- Winning Season Goal 3- Get to Playoffs Goal 4- Win a playoff game Goal 5- Reach States Goal 6- State Champion

9. Winning Begins in the Off-season WE WILL LIFT ON A COLLEGE WEIGHT PROGRAM THAT VA TECH AND RICHMOND USES. You will be accountable for your offseason attendance Our goal is to be the strongest team in the district, You can control this!

10. Minimum Goals for Varsity Players Lineman –Bench- 315 max –Squat- 450 max –Power Cleans 225 max

11. Linebackers –275 Bench –415 Squat –225 Power Clean

12. Secondary –250 Bench –375 Squat –215 power clean

13. This is a strongly recommended activity We will lift 4 days a week In the summer we will go to four days If you can not be there you need to let me or a coach know face to face and they need to be legitimate reasons. We will take attendance daily. If you have something to do you can leave early. I don’t know what you can do, so this and 7 on7s is a way to show me. Positions heading into camp will be based on weight room attendance

14. Spring Off-season If you play another sport, I encourage you to find at least 15 minutes one or two days a week to lift weights, either in PE or after practice You can not win football games being a weak team If you are a skill player, I encourage you to run track for speed development

15. How this works!!! You will max the first day of weights in the Spring. You will then get a print out of your lifts and weight you do. Everything is done by computer and the computer pushes you to achieve our stated goals.

16. Weightlifting successes When I got to Manassas Park in 2008, only two guys benched 225 5 times and no one could squat over 400 or power clean 225. Before this past season, 12 people benched over 225, 8 people squatted 405, and 7 people power cleaned 225

17. Forest Park Weightlifting Club Four lifts Bench Squat Power Cleans Power Press

18. Three clubs –900 –1000 –1200 Each time you reach your goal, you get a t-shirt, we will also try and hang banner in the weight room showing the top five lifters for each lift for ALL to see!!!!

19. 7 on 7 We will also do many 7 on 7s and I will announce these when I find out
