In fact, I remember asking my instructors if it was safe and I can t recall anyone I ever had contact with who was a proponent of early training.<br> <br>BFS: Do you know of any top lifters who experienced growth plate injuries from the sport?<br><br>Schnorf: In my experience I can t think of any who have been diagnosed with such an injury, and I would say that I ve certainly started more kids at an earlier age than all but a handful of coaches in this country. I ve known plenty of kids who developed serious injuries from playing baseball and other sports, but I ve had very, very few even moderate injuries in weightlifting.<br><br>BFS: Many medical experts will say that while it may be fine for kids to lift heavy weights, they must avod lifting weights overhead because it can easily damage the shoulder at that ag. What is your opinion?<br><br>Schnorf: Medical and cientific theory often conflict with practical experi notch.<br>Your final proression would be to adjust the foot/ankle pad to its highest position and the foot/ankle mechanism to its closest position and perform three sets of 25 reps (See Photo Eleven). Wow! That would take a superior athlete. <br>ds really get to know each other. <br>In the weightroom, Herron follows a BFS program. Because of the technical nature and importance of the power clean to his program, Herron insists on having his athlees learn the lift as soon as they enter his program, and he even encourages athletes at the middle school level to learn it.  We have the BFS trainingplates so the bar sits up there where it s supposed to, and we videotape them performing the lift, says Herron.  We really emphasize technique with young athletes; we don t try to put too much weight on them. I ve got some great assistant coaches, and they re very good at teaching the lift. Our rogram is also about kids helping kids too-those who perform the lift well help teach. <br>With his proven football coaching system and a BFS strength training program in place, Herron is set to achieve his ultimate goal of winning a state champiback, Cody Oxarart, led the Mustangs on offense. In a quarterfinal game against Fort Benton, All-State defensive tackle, Lance Spencer, shined in the limelight to help his team advance in the playoffs. In double overtime, Spencer snagged an interception and returned it 85 yards for a touchdown, leading the Mustangs to a 35-34 win. They went on to beat the Cut Bank Wolves 20-7 for the state championship title. Reflecting on the win, Coach King said,  When I think about these kids in the future, I will remember a group of unselfish athletes. That s a characteristic that title teams have. Jesse Brown, Josh Roberts and Ty Salsbery were all named All-State. <br><br><br>BOYS BASKETBALL<br><br>Malta s Boys Basketball team won the state title in 1996 and 1998. Coach Bernie Wasser taught his players what it takes to become champions. His team listened and payed as a unit. Through a lot of hard work, they rose to the top. All-State key player, RJ Tollefson, led the Mustangs in their quest to be the best. <br><br>CONCLUSION<br><br>What is the key to Malta s high level of achievement? Simply put, all athletes, regardless of sport, train on the same program. The remarkable thing about this successful athletic program is that most of the great competitors are three-sport athletes. For example, in wrestling, Lance Spencer placed third in state last year in the 189-pound class and also ran a leg on the 1,600-meter relay t
