BFS has allowed our kids to see results consistently, the flexibility of the program has enabled our students to be multi-sport athletes and we have gotten to the point where we don't have to worry about getting kids to lift," says Grazzini.<br>In 2002 Morton had its best season in 10 years, and the Mustang football team continues to take the necessary steps during the off season to achieve its next goal --making the playoffs for the first time since 1983. Says Grazzini, "The Mustangs know the road to the playoffs is in the weight room, and as you exit our power center, the last thing you will see is our banner "CHAMPIONSHIPS BEGIN HERE!"<br><br>-----------------------<br><br>MARKETING FOR SUCCESS<br><br>Grazzini believed the football program had great potential, but only if he could sell the athletes on the conditioning program. "We realized our kids had to understand why this was important if we were to get them committed to the program. Our strategy was to sensationalize what we were doing, provide feedback and incentive, and to continually sell the vision we created." Here are the steps they implemented:<br><br>Use the BFS model of including variety in all phases to keep our kids interested and allow their bodies to adapt to each phase of the program.<br><br>Have all the grades work out together, so that the seniors are role models for the younger athletes.<br><br>Reward the consistent hard workers by making them weightlifting captains, and assigning them the responsibilities of taking their group's attendance and making sure their athletes are doing all their lifts with the correct technique.<br><br>Create strength clubs for achieving goals in our core lifts: clean, squat, bench, and push press. On test dates, as athletes reach these goals, we work our kids into a frenzy and then announce the records, hand out T-shirts as rewards and immediately update our goal board and web page.<br><br>Use set-and-rep logs to chart the weights used, track records and allow partners to evaluate each other's efforts.<br><br>Incorporate the Tuesday/Thursday speed, agility and plyometric program in a circuit, followed by a competitive activity as a culminating event at the end of each session.<br><br>Include a fun activity once a week.<br><br>Encourage our athletes to never settle for average. Push them to go beyond their optimal training zone. Push them to "Be An Eleven." These athletes thrive on being pushed.<br>ur times per week during the summer in June and July. It s my entire volleyball team and I d say my attendance is 90 percent--not bad for summer. Of course, the end of the weight training coincides with my try-outs so there s extra incentive for the girls to do it. <br>So why is Coach Zavala so sold on the BFS program?  I ve seen the gains and improvements. We jump very well, the girls are quicker and we have fewer injuries. We can play a two-hour match and ask who s sore the next day, and no one utters a groan. Three years ago that wasn t the case. Their bodies just don t wear down now. <br>Not surprising, Coach Zavala is now weight training two days a week herself!<br><br>A Senior Coming <br>On Strong<br><br>The changes in the sport are not just for the young girls growing up with the opportunity. It is there for female athletes of all ages who are ready for a new challenge and a
