A study on 7th graders weight training has drawn preliminary conclusions that no interference of bone growth resulted from weight training. Dr. Mel Hayashi, a noted orthopedic surgeon from Thousand Oaks, California, states  The BFS Readiness Program should provide great benefits to the junior high athlete. I have no concerns as long as the athlete has good technique. Dr. Hayashi has been a chief orthopedic surgeon at the past Olympic Games and has been a chief resident at the Mayo Clinic. Many strength coaches of major universities throughout the nation have been asked when an athlete should start weight training. The vast majority responded:  In Junior High. The Eastern Bloc countries start their athletes' weight training at the age of 12. In addition, we know weight training is one of the greatest ways to build self-confidence and self esteem. A seventh grader can receive just as much satisfaction going from 85 pounds to 100 pounds on his bench as can a 12th grader going from 285 to 300 pounds. However, we also believe strict supervision is a must along with the teaching of proper technique to make the BFS Readiness Program work in the Junior High. Programs like the BFS Readiness Program are completely endorsed and approved by the National Strength Coaches Association.<br><br><br>HOW DO I GET STARTED WITH THE PROGRAM?<br><br>I have broken down the Readiness program into five sections from Unification to Graduation, but first lets discuss one of the most critical parts of a successful program.<br><br>UNIFICATION<br><br>All sports both boys and girls in grades seven through twelve should be on the same strength and conditioning program. In the vast majority of schools every sport does their on thing. Invariably with the multi-sport athlete this causes confusion and it is terribly inefficient. Many great dominant football programs have all grade levels use the same system of offense, defense and terms. A dominant strength and conditioning program should bethe same way. All coaches should use the same terms, tht75ݔ{6&HM|n. >V5+zg>WvIli2q8=F!U.Ni^,7Cm:IІ%.}\(6^O$7ƄTn=yմˇ+PLʎHm&f6I?fGxZ '%3PݭRP)*Pq7$n 0Cww><_W$w:mb&|z#z '2Ƽf:Ky>SJ{LPɩ=ݵdbW=OoO\tdrQ&f=X{}rCr@/J}/͗Gтi1V@çӁM1tvor%tM1IOVc]++Am}BNcK=hVRG@o$@/޷ޔJ) A%+E1j(_8S%+rk5(#0#8h EJ#CEq|&6Fؔ;{] h1V79v6, THuQS8q'G~s5&ff5"*=ܜ1mh+g=~[njl6TfwsV8Rp5g@Ooi~F{T)#tvAY[)lMq;|qip =E5£oN+m4I,ѐwWB܄~,u-M6XuY[;S..
