The girls are required to memorize a different poem  one usually connected with athletics or self-improvement  every six weeks, and to write poems of their own.<br> You can not separate the mind from the body, Young, a former English teacher said. Not only can she see an improvement in her students memory due in part to their physical and mental workouts, but Young added that group tasks such as memorizing poetry contributes to a sense of teamwork among the students.<br><br>The overall results are striking, Young said,  I can see them all getting so much more self-confident, she said.  They all feel so much better about themselves, particularly the older girls, who have worked so hard for three-and-a-half years. It s sometimes just the little things that they now pay attention to, like the changes in their nutritional habits. A couple of cheerleaders stopped one day and said,  See Mrs. Young, we re drinking juice and not Dr. Pepper or Coke.  <br><br>Most of the girls list  getting in shape,  improving in their sport, and  losing weight as their primary reasons for taking BFS, but they also acknowledge the other benefits they ve received from Young s class.<br><br> We re learning about bones and muscles and stuff, said Amanda McCoy, who s been in BFS since the second semester of her freshman year. A senior who plays softball and basketball, McCoy said she believes that memorizing and writing poetry is paying off in other areas of her sns in the country - this year our freshman class averaged a 3.78 GPA and a 1370 SAT - people are beating the door down to get into school here.  Besides, no one has a richer tradition in track and field than USC, adds Allice, who took over the top position seven years ago and who served as an assistant coach at the World Championships this year.  We just missed winning the women s National Championships by three points the previous two years, and we won the men s PAC-10 title three out of the last four years. <br>Gregoire agrees that USC was an ideal choice for Williams, as it enabled her to maintain continuity in her training.  Rather than having her go through the transition of a new coach after high school, Coach Allice wanted me to continue to be involved, Gregoire says. As a result, Coach Allice works with Williams during the school year and Coach Gregoire is able to see her during the summer at his club in Walnut, California. Williams adds,  I also wanted to go somewhere where I would be comfortable, and my family lives only 30-40 minutes from USC. I m a real homebody, and I don t like to go too far from my family. Then, of course, there s that great USC track and field program.<br> Angela Williams is probably the best short sprinter in the world; but at USC we do not emphasize indoor track, whereas most of the other schools in the country do says Allice.  One reason is that we have good weather all year long. But more importantly, with the indoor season you start competing in December and go all the way through. My obligation to the athletes in this program is to see to it that they perform to the best of their ability at the conclusion of the collegiate season, and have plenty left to go on to the United States Championships and get a chance to represent their count)[~FhCH(D^⺈Naꌀ:
