FALCON STRENGTH
“There comes a time when fall will ask you, “What were you doing all summer?”
The BFHS strength program is a comprehensive program that consists of functional strength, explosive power, speed, agility, & flexibility. We will utilize this program while implementing our FALCON TEMPO aggression.
FUNCTIONAL STRENGTH AND POWER: Our lifting program is designed to build explosive and balanced football players. Our lifting program concentrates on explosive core exercises used through movements in football. We also emphasize one-legged lifts, and angle lifts to design a well-balanced athlete, lifts that focus on the way we play the game of football.
Speed: Through speed-specific exercises, our running speed can be improved through strength training, improved technique, first-step acceleration drills, and reaction speed drills.
Agility & Plyometrics: Lateral movement and our ability to cut at full speed are very important to our football players. Therefore our ability to change direction while maintaining balance, body control, and speed is developed through multi-directional drills.
Flexibility: Increased flexibility is the main ingredient in developing greater speed and agility. A well-balanced program also prevents the risk of injury. We will implement a dynamic stretch routine and agility calisthenics.
FALCONTEMPO
The Falcon conditioning program always intends to establish a higher level of excellence. Together we are stepping into a new year, a new season, and we must improve every aspect of our game to become a dominant force in the GCL. The passion to improve on your game must be inside of YOU! It will take tremendous dedication and desire to be at every workout. This program will make you a more disciplined and focused player. Believe in and commit yourself to our program and it will pay off for you in ways you never imagined. Your schoolwork comes before everything. This is a priority. The strength program will not interfere with other commitments. We are committing to you; we expect nothing less in return. Each workout is important to our success. This program is designed to benefit you as an athlete, not a bodybuilder. Remember, your goal is to be a dominant player in this league. Accept nothing less. What separates great teams from mediocre teams is a year-round collective commitment to growth. When you walk through these doors, commit yourself and your teammates!
An intense activity level is the first thing I want to notice upon entering the FALCON weight room. There is no sitting down, or goofing around with others. Your team will move through each exercise like a disciplined army of warrior athletes.
We prepare at the highest level and practice at the highest level so that we can play at the highest level. Sitting around in the weight room carries onto the field, if you are sloppy in the weight room, you will be sloppy and lazy on the field. The tempo we use every day sets a tone for our whole existence on the field.
The team’s entire time in the weight room will mimic the pace on the field or court. This tempo is an invaluable conditioning tool. The heart is a big, dumb muscle. It doesn’t know what you are doing – whether you are running or pushing a weight, all it knows is that it needs to pump oxygenated blood through the whole body. With a high-intensity level and fast tempo, your heart will be pumping the whole time.
The FALCON TEMPO results are worth the struggle. Allow your body and mind to learn to deal with stress in our weight room so they can handle it on the field. We have begun our team mission; let’s prepare ourselves for battle as brothers, to walk off the field exhausted in victory. Leave nothing behind, and no regrets…you will only experience this opportunity once in your life.
