We take lessons and messages from the Be An Eleven Guidebook for Success and try to instill those ideals within our athletes. <br><br>Getting a Boost<br><br>Another edge the weight training program at Smyrna has over many other schools is an active and enthusiastic booster club, the Smyrna High School Athletic Boosters.  Our booster club fully supports the BFS program, says Lloyd.  They agreed that the BFS Program was the perfect avenue to support all our athletic programs in one activity: The Boosters have purchased specific items for particular teams---and they continue to do so---but all our athletes and even much of the rest of the student body benefits from BFS. <br>One way Smyrna High s booster club offers support is by providing awards for outstanding performances in the weight room.  We base our awards on the BFS standards. If an athlete achieves All-State honors, they receive a <br>T-shirt or shorts with the BFS logo; if they achieve All-American honors, they receive BFS sweatshirts or sweatpants. The Boosters have also purchased BFS equipment such as the plyometric boxes and the Just Jump and Run computer system, and have sponsored two BFS clinics conducted by Bobby Poss, says Lloyd.<br>Smyrna High School has been educating students and training athletes for over 30 years, and the booster club has been there since the beginning, with approximately 15-20 members actively involved at any given time. Its organizational structure includes a president, currently Judy Horn, along with a vice president, secretary and treasurer. Its membership includes parents, coaches and other caring members of the community who want to help young athletes achieve their goals. To raise money, the Boosters hold a golf tournament in the spring, run the concession stands at home sporting events, sell merchandise (such as T-shirts, sweatshirts, umbrellas and seat cushions) and sell advertising space in the football programs.<br>At present, Smyrna High s athletes must lift in a multipurpose facility, a room that is used for many other functions, including wrestling practice. But thanks to a referendum recently passed by its school district, Smyrna High School will soon have a room exclusively devoted to sports conditioning. It will be approximately 30 by 70 feet, and will allow more students to train at once.<br>Rising Stars<br><br>Besides the overall improvement in the teams performance, there are many athletes that Lloyd says merit individual recognition. One is senior Andre Mears. A member of the varsity football and basketball teams, Mears is ranked in the top 15th percentile of his class academically.  Andre epitomizes what an Eleven should be, says Lloyd.  He s a leader in the weight room, and he is always willing to help teach and motivate new athletes in the program. He s also a hard worker, and this year improved his 40 time by 2/10ths, and added 65 pounds to his Hex bar max and 95 pounds to his parallel squat. <br>Another standout is Justin Ritter, a junior who increased his bench press 60 pounds this past year to break an APAWPA world record for his age group (255 pounds at 165 pounds bodyweight).
