Yes Fritz their winter program is different. Let me explain. I have been to 2 days of watching the winter program and I have seen a couple other programs that have won state titles work out. (lca, boyle, bowling green) Highlands workout is at another level.

#1 They looked at their terrible facility and decided that they had to have multiple stations going in different parts of the building going simultaneously to get effective work done.

#2 After the first loss to Boyle in the title game years ago (2005 maybe?) they made the commitment that Boyle is a machine and looks like green berets out there, so we are going to train like navy seals and take it to another level.

#3 The tradition, parents, and community expectation allow the coaches to ask for more from a Highlands kid than normal people can imagine or tolerate.

^One of the strongest foundations of the Highlands program. This concept exemplifies the buy in from all, the dedication, and hard work necessary to do what Highlands does...win and achieve success!

In a world so foreign to concepts like consensus building, dedication, and hard work people point fingers and say they cheat. I would tell you to knock off the complaining, take notes, and go to work. The schools following Highlands example will have a lot more success more quickly than the others too busy not consensus building, dedicating the time and work ethic necessary to winning.

Happy consensus building and working your arse off to all of you nicker:! And yes it takes a lot of time and dedication, as do all good achievements!!!
