Weight lifting is one thing that anyone can excell and improve at. Some can try all they want and can never become a quarterback, and some kids you can throw the ball too all day and they will never consistantly catch it. But weightlifting is the one constant that every individual can do and improve at. We live in an instant gradification society, so set up your program to get immediate results within weeks and let the kids see their improvement. Group your players together wisely so that they will compete with each other with similar weight. Group up and coming players together will veterans to kind of welcome them to varsity football. Group the good players that worry you to death with trust worthy players so that they may rub off on them. Make them feel good about how their body is changing and how impressive they look in the mirror. Weight lifting is about getting into the teenage mind and shaping it to become a Friday Night Warrior.

For those saying too much Watts, Wayne has a back that can take over a game on his own also. These 2 guys may put on an unbelievable show.

After looking throught the other thread about South, I want to weigh in on Larry Welch. Having coached with him, and considering him to also be a good friend, I can say this was a great hire. Regardless of past performances as a head coach, Larry is like fine wine...... he gets better with age. The man knows football, he knows kids, and he knows winning. The other aspect that seperates the good from the great coaches is work ethic. Larry will out work his opponets because he knows that's what it takes to win at the highest level. He will be able to take kids with lesser talent and turn them into good high school football players because of his work. Let's not confuse his work ethic as just putting in time, but putting in time with a purpose year round to ensure growth in the program. Larry has shared so much wisdom with me about life and football that this time around I can not see how he could fail if he is left alone to coach his team his way. Good luck Larry.
