His current max is 180 pounds on the bench press, 165 pounds for the power clean and 230 pound squat. One of his greatest accomplishments is being one of the original members of the weight program s Champion Club, a club based on an individual s power to weight ratio. It is also the highest level of honor in the program.<br>The BFS program has provided T.J. with daily opportunities to be a success story and that is possibly why he has latched on to the program, according to his coaches. The goal setting and attitude parts of the program really fit in with T.J. s personality.  B.F.S. is an attitude. Coach Bozied [BFS clinician] really stressed that in our clinic, and T.J. locked on to it. It still shows up in his work because it works for him and it provides him with daily challenges. It gets kids to do their best, says Coach Voss.<br>That attitude was apparent in a conversation between Coach Anderson and T.J. s father. Anderson says he approached T.J. s father Bob about using a prosthesis to help T.J. with the lifts. T.J. s response gave Coach Anderson the chills.  His response, basically, was  I was born this way and that is the way I am going to be.  <br>Bob, also the athletic director and assistant principal, is especially proud of his son s attitude.  T.J. is focused about what he wants to get done and where he wants to go. He has overcome his disability and done far greater than others who have both hands. <br>Brad Welcher, a close friend, has also noticed T.J. s confidence and positive outlook. After a preseason anterior cruciate ligament injury ended T.J. s junior year of football, Welcher knew that he would recover just fine.  Don t doubt anything he can do, because he can do it as well or better than anyone else. I ve seen him do it. He tells himself he can do it and he gets it done. <br><br>T.J. is a Winner<br><br>The first words out of T.J. s math teacher, and defensive backs coach, Mike Morrison spoke volumes.  T.J. doesn t think he is different, but he really is. He has more heart, more courage than most kids. <br>Off the field and wrestling mat, T.J. sets a strong example to those around him. He graduated from West Delaware High School with a 3.8 grade point average and was involved in numerous activities and organizations. He was on National Honor Society, he was elected vice president of the school s student council, and he taught math to sixth grade students as part of a Cadet Teaching program offered at school. In his free time, he shows steers at the county fair.<br>An especially impressive fact is that T.J. is also a Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E) Role Model and has made a conscious decision to stay alcohol and chemical free, something he feels is imperative as an athlete.  If you are going to participate in athletics, commitment is a year round thing, he states.  You cannot be truly committed to your coaches and teammates and then put yourself in a bad position. <br>And for this type of leadership,
