In his current program, Ayars introduces weight training to athletes as young as seven years old, having them do squats with a light bar, or even a broomstick, to teach the technique.  We start them with light wights they can handle easily so they can work on technique, and then we just slowly pyramid the weight up. <br>Ayars keeps the reps in the three-to-five range, increasing weight as long as the athlete s technique is good.  As we raise the weight, I expect their speed to slow down a little bit, but we will stop them if their technique worsens. On squats, Ayars allows them go as deep as desired as long as there is no bouncing. Despite the conservative nature of this method, Ayars has set a standard for the girls to power clean their bodyweight forh Jazz.&nbsp;</P> <P>The Russian/East European periodization model was usually meant for individual athletes peaking for a specific event like the European or World Championships. When do you peak in football? Is it game #5 or #10? If you lose #5, you might not have any post-season games. In football every game is important. Dr. Stone, too, has wrestled with this problem. Our BFS attainable goal is to continually get stronger throughout the season. We are always stronger as a team at the end ofthe season than at the beginning. I feel this has its advantages come play-off time.&nbsp;</P> <P>As Dr. Stone finished his first hour of his periodization discussion, he made a statement which shocked me. The discussion centered around seasonal sports like football. Dr. Stone stated, "So a typical periodization program may not work." The Standard periodization model must have adjustments made if it is to help athletes in team sports reach their potential. I have thought aout these adjustments and implemented them with tens of thousands of athletes over the last 15 years. It is now fool-proof. I'm not saying it is the only way to adjust a Standard periodization model for team school sports. However, I do want you, the reader, to know I have not seen anything come close to the BFS system for multi-sport athletes in a high school environment over a one year or career span of time.&nbsp;</P> <P>I believe standard periodization models can be great for mature college athletes engaged in an individual sport such as track. With a few adjustments, it should also be great for athletes who are starters in a team sport like football. Adjustmet on her list to win her that ticket to a good college and vaulting coach.<br> Gymnastics was my first love, but as I got older and with the accident I grew out of it, says Christi.  The pole vault is what I want to do in college, but some day I d love to coach gymnastics. <br>Considering colleges, Christi isn t looking at location as much as coaches.  I feel the coach is the most important. I want a coach who knows the vault, and a school that also has a good track program. I wouldn t mind moving away, but I know it will be tough.<br> I m thankful for everything my parents and the community have done for me. I have a real support system here, with my church and friends. I m very lucky and very grateful, and hope that luck carries on when I move on. <br>Perhaps it s due even more to sheer guts than to luck, but however you look at it, Christi has demonstrated that you can make miracles happen with dedication, persistence and faith. t we in 1996 should be way beyond that. Dr. Stone concluded, "It's not the work that is important but how you manipulate the variables."
