He said no, recalls Jenny,  but I just kept bugging him. He finally let me try and I loved it! It s exciting and a real challenge. Once in a while I get a little anxious but I don t have any fear about putting my all into it. My main goal this year is just to make 12 feet. <br>When Coach Rezak joined the school in Jenny s 8th year, her weight training program began in earnest. She began seeing the positive changes not just in the vault, but in volleyball, basketball and other track events as well. Jenny added powerlifting to her sports resume and still found the time to be on the student council, in the school s Spanish club and carry a 4.0 academic GPA--not bad for someone who won t see 16 years until next June!<br> Our facility isn t that big, says Coach Zavala of the school s weight room.  But we don t need a big fancy facility. What s important is what the kids get done. <br>Coach Zavala and Coach Rezak work as a team in the weight room.  Scott has helped me a lot, says Sharon.  He s patient with me and we ve designed a program specifically for the girls, plus some extra auxiliary lifts. It s year-round as well. They train three times a week during the school year and four times per week during the summer in June and July. It s my entire volleyball team ad I d say my attendance is 90 percent--not bad for summer. Of course, the end of the weight training coincides with my try-outs so there s extra incentive for the girls to do it. <br>So why is Coach Zavala so sold on the BFS program?  I ve seen the gains and improvements. We jump very well, the girls are quicker and we have fewer injuries. We can play a two-hour match and ask who s sore the next day, and no one utters a groan. Three years ago that wasn t the case. Their bodiesjust don t wear down now. <br>Not surprising, Coach Zavala is now weight training two days a week herself!<br><br>A Senior Coming <brOn Strong<br><br>The changes in the sport are not just for the young girls growing up with the opportunity. I is there for female athletes of all ages who are ready for a new challenge and appreciate the opportunities and new acceptance of women in sports.<br>For Val Jalajas (prononced like yell-at-us) a 22-year-old senior at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, North Carolina, the vault came knocking at her door. A former child gymnast, Val was taking a tennis class from the track coach. The two began talking about form and biomechanics. Sssional basketball players are tall!<br><br>The Numbers Game<br><br>Risk of injury is another area of concern for some coaches and parents. In this regard, it s instructive to look at the many studies that have measured the rate of injuries associated with weight training compared to other sports. For example, a study published in the November/December 2001 issue of the Journal of American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons cited research showing that in children aged 5 to 14 years, the number of injuries from bicycling was almost 400 percent greater than from weightlifting! Also, in a review paper on resistance training for prepubescent and adolescents published this year in Strength and Conditioning Coach (Vol. 9, No. 3), author Mark Shillington reported in a screening of sports-related injuries in school aged children that resistance training was the nominated cause of 0.7 G^D :@O$}QzZНQ7̣nJV7z""fCꨫ;j 󿖛цMVӟX˅gq3(Z]S,t)M:`ھhCT1 SJ5|2Jר>؜x(J)pAPb|._Q[ ܏yGԚ+k.Zdݫ2q؀g( 9$lk=<؊cۉQҾ?QDDaSڵ܋%;QГ߯hV Pbdtf"5`݈LJUa1JuaN ŖR$]qt3Y~_KR K,c&U$`p]M ΈGn۟V*%__^;бp&#THfHJx?j`!bO -AqIzW#,`$3^?k\gZIk49,T_b 9o0Gb[?gȦ7Y&@$n-S/9KetZntoL󅵓0H̼2#'?/}_IխmY,uyg)ea Y%,(ԼgnjVIA5 RI,4̆-{N lc95 }4ڔ(i+5;#k#?4t=~82x%' *5=(*1%7R8oc)nz-ӗ4 b r,ZHDoon| 5eaX,vyI-kc4I=b *ISWaN]wruF
