Their efforts should pay them great dividends in high school. Goals are set to improve strength (core lifts), power (vertical jump), speed (40 yard dash), and agility (Dot Drill).<br>The classes also have female students in attendance.  We have always had good female athletes who have taken pride in conditioning, says Coach Vena. Many of the females who hold weight training records are cheerleaders.  We have to educate these young people to overcome some of the negative myths that have been attached to weight training, says Vena.<br>The coaches and physical education teachers of Fayette County Schools were fortunate to have Jim Brown, Strength and Conditioning Coach at Poplar Bluff Senior High School in Missouri, present a BFS Clinic in February. Coach Brown worked with coaches and athletes from various schools in Fayette County on the BFS Program. Coach Vena will use Jim Brown s efforts to generate a greater desire within the athletes to improve physically and raise student involvement in the weight training program by challenging the athletes to break personal records and recognize their success.  We would like to evolve into model programs such as the ones at Poplar Bluff Junior and Senior High Schools, says Coach Vena. <br>Closer to home, Rising Starr Middle School and Starr s Mill High School provide excellent examples of model programs. The Starr s Mill program was in place and running before they had a school facility. Starr s Mill head football coach, Mike Earwood ordered weight training equipment and had it delivered to Whitewater where he operated his summer strength and conditioning program. The desire to improve athletes remains a high priority at Starr s Mill. The coaches, athletes, and parents moved all the strength and conditioning equipment six times before housing a permanent location for their program. This desire to attain strength, power, speed and agility is what Coach Vena seeks to instill in his athletes.<br>Whitewater s facility transformed from classrooms to bare walls to the achievement of a dream through hard work and determination. Whitewater Middle School has demonstrated that with the proper amount of effort and perseverance, Upper Limit success can be accomplished.<br><br><br>__________<br><br><br> Students who consistently participate in the weight training program have made physical improvements. Students need the opportunity to workout in the weight room on a regular basis.  Coach Vena re defensive end Tony Butler:  Before Coach Brown arrived I never stepped into a weight room. Now, since I've started lifting and getting stronger, I realize how much it helps. <br>Sophomore tackle Adam McClain:  At first I just wanted to k B&r^#%ʓ!tW !^AptrzkVd&F'0Ue`qvAO\ EjzT~׽3.Qp* --q~ys$|OM72YvV;؎O/tAmk{HO둋%h7 ky G(0Ui_WJm/Jxu)Q Lkj<1cU f"JAmݐI\1;,F\ hlPRx{eܥXZQ޸7"u[|R$'}H $`[/W!#W`p Rw#`<"@ʩѝn@3NnOљP$ރDD1Hy¸ xC:lQ?jDcE (r(Ԙ6M,ڽ05UF͂nOIaCw5UQ>'ZOlJ/|bYQG(QFuQ{#ܨI۰$tmE'/_I UFъxJI5O{*7{Y7~8"5<{W(q6钏?֙~)%E .؞v*wI8?:teb_Za,+Ni՚9k.'x2rc~mE %)]9khE$ ',*ö>O_1dS4TOlY->'迻=?':0'JY[DW4G$SSK٣_L _jƑSָ̞f7Q~ۦ/p; Ou1jV(E&OqwF!e$*ݝeȲ7xiXO>% MI8c厇-?AX{uO_b_?cS{jP/  9˖NCqQHwmz3V:3hs\@_޳e- $sk @sjYHLNSt-ggff5ɗn:tUm€}srAH )#4vǂHw*7dihV94q(mfchdr
