I remember back when we started we had only one senior on our squad; now we have classes of 12-14 and the numbers are growing every year. I think when it gets to the point where we have 20-25 seniors in the program, we can feel optimistic that we can be a strong force every year.<br><br>BFS: Are there any other advantages to going to a small college?<br><br>JS: In a Division 3 school there is room and time for players to be many things at the college. They can come here to play ball, get an education, and still enAs for exercise selection, they insisted the emphasis should be on nonspecific bodybuilding movements, and the less emphasis on freeweight lifts the better.<br><br>Responding to such propaganda is exercise scientist Dr. Mel Siff, who did his Ph.D. thesis on the biomechanics of soft tissues. According to Siff, the basic activities that occur in most sports, such as running and jumping, "can impose far higher forces o the body than are encountered in weightlifting." Thus, if you tell athletes they can't do lifts such as the power clean because of ballistic loading, then you should likewise tell them not to play sports, period. And if you tell athletes never to lift weights overhead as in a push press or jerk, then you shoud not allow them to throw footballs or baseballs either.<br>Siff also emphasizes that the danger of weightlifting prematurely closing the growth plates of young girls is exaggerated, since running and jumping can impose even greater loads on the boes and joints. If we were to take this myth seriously, then we would have to restrict all girls and boys to walking and swimming!<br>Another factor not considered by the slow-training proponents is that lympic lifting can help prevent injuries by properly developing the nervous system. Siff says these same people make the mistake of concentrating on how much weight is being lifted. "The most important thing in regard to injury-proofing the athlete is proper development of the central nervous and motor control systems. From my research and experience, I have found that accidents and injuries often have a lot to do with motor control, technique and skill, and not so much with weak tissues."<br>Siff adds that an understanding of the importance of the central nervous system explains why boxers can take so many hits, hits that would generally knock out even a well-muscled individual.
