I hang out with the guys on the team. Drugs are not something we choose to do. It's also a lot better if you don't abuse alcohol. Use your head. Think it out first. If you do that first, I believe kids will make the right decision."&nbsp;</P> <P>Chris believes in himself. He always has and his motto comfirms this: You are never too small or too short. You can accomplish your goals if you just keep at it. &nbsp;</P> <P>Head Football Coach Fred Whitmire said, "Chris is the type of athlete who makes it so special for us at Humboldt. He sets a great example in the weight room, on the field and in class where he has over a 3.0 grade point average. He is not intimidated by any opponent. He gives us a chance to be successful in any game. And, when we recruit or need a volunteer for community work, Chris is the first one there."&nbsp;</P> <P>We thank Coach Petersen for making this article possible and wish Chris and Donna the best in their marriage next June. They should have an exciting and prosperous future together.</P> rather than inhibit it.<br>Two possible reasons for the fear that weight training could stunt growth are that weightlifters tend to possess more muscle mass than other athletes and that smaller athletes are attracted to the sport. In gymnastics, the average height of elite athletes has steadily declined in the past several Olympics because shorter athletes tend to be more successful in this sport. But saying that weightlifting makes you shorter because many elite weightlifters are short would be like saying that basketball makes you taller because most professional basketball players are tall!<br><br>The Numbers Game<br><br>Risk of injury is another area of concern for some coaches and parents. In this regard, it s instructive to look at the many studies that have measured the rate of injuries associated with weight training compared to other sports. For example, a study published in the November/December 2001 issue of the Journal of American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons cited research showing that in children aged 5 to 14 years, the number of injuries from bicycling was almost 400 percent greater than from weightlifting! Also, in a review paper on resistance training for prepubescent and adolescents published this year in Strength and Conditioning Coach (Vol. 9, No. 3), author Mark Shillington reported in a screening of sports-related injuries
