We could probably go four on a platform if necessary.<br><br>BFS: How many student-athletes can be training in your facility at one time?<br>Brooks: We could probably fit 24 people on the platforms, so we can handle a lot of teams because you re not going to find many teams much bigger than that  certainly not a basketball team.<br><br>BFS: What s the approximate square footage?<br>Brooks: About 5,300 square feet.<br><br>BFS: Are there plans to build a bigger weightroom?<br>Brooks: The room eeds to be bigger to allow for more machines, platforms and other equipmet. The fitness center gets a tremendous amount of use from the Williams community. We ve taked about what needs t be done, but there are a lot of projects going on in the collee and the administration tends to like to do one thing at a time.<br>BFS: Do you work with the regular faculty and the student body?<br>Brooks: Certainly, and I try to be as assessable as possible. I get a lot of requests for individual programs, but sometimes I just have to tell them I m just too busy and can only give them general guidelines. But, at the same time, we also have physical education classes for the student body, from beginning to advanced, to help these individuals. <br><br>BFS: Do you work willall the varsity sports?<br>Brooks: I try, and I ve even worked with JV and club sports. Also, I take a backup role with the footballand lacrosse teams as they have their own primary strength coach. In fact, they use many aspects of the BFS program.<br><br>BFS: When you first came to Williams, were the students receptive to your training methods and how do they respond to what you are doing now?<br>Brooks: Most of the comments were positive about my changes right from the get-go. The students here are scholar-athletes and as such naturally want to not just what to do, but why they are doing it. If you can justify what you are oing and why this would best for them, that goes a long way. This includes my choices in equipment purchases and wg Quads and weak Hamstrings.</P> <P>I would have to say from my observations of thousands of athletes that more than half of our nations athletes perform their Squats too high.&nbsp; This means tens of thousands are at needless risk when it comes to Hamstring injuries.&nbsp; You must Squat to at least parallel.&nbsp; It is far better to take some weight off the bar and Squat with great technique down to parallel than to Squat sloppy and high with a heavier weight.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <STRONG>STATUS:</STRONG> A Top Priority <U>Core</U> Lift<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <SL+)s`pt">
