With all the strength coaching and personal training organizations out there, are coaches generally caught up with the latest research in conditioning and doing most of the right things?<BR>We aren't even close to being caught up! We still have coaches who believe that weight training will stunt growth and make athletes muscle-bound. We still have coaches who believe that you should put heat on a turned ankle. And I'm just amazed that coaches will drive 500 miles to learn how to stop a wing-T offense, but they won't drive 50 miles or even stay in their own community to learn how to train their athletes better by attending a BFS clinic.<BR><BR>So how do you explain the problem? Bad coaches or bad training information?<BR>More often than not, it's that the information is conflicting and overly complicated. People get overwhelmed by it. In fact, I've been involved with one strength coaching organization where you almost need a medical degree to understand some of their literature on training. Also, there is often no unity in some of these organizations, which is one reason why so many college strength coaches got together recently and formed their own organization.<BR><BR>So you like BFS's practical and simple approach to training?<BR>Exactly. And what really separates a BFS clinic from the rest is that our clinics are full of motivation and we offer hands-on training. <BR><BR>Does this attitude carry over into the BFS coaches' certification?<BR>No doubt about it. You're not going to read a book and answer a few multiple-choice questions to become a certified strength coach through BFS. You're going to get into the weight room and you're going to learn how to squat and you're going to learn how to teach others to squat. We're coaches helping coaches, and it's this hands-on approach that separates BFS from other certifications.<BR><BR>What's a typical clinic experience?<BR>Every clinic is special because it's always a thrill for me to see kids doing things they didn't think they could do. One of my favorites was a clinic I gave at Park Falls High School in Park Falls, Wisconsin. <BR>At that clinic I met a young football player by the name of Joel Becker. I knew Joel had a lot of potential, but he was being overlooked because hitness level and strength needed to perform my best.&nbsp; Second and most importantly, it gave me increased confidence in myself.&nbsp; Being a soccer goalkeeper, the medicine ball throws really helped my arm and hand strength.&nbsp; I found myself catching and holding balls that I would have parried out of bounds in the past.&nbsp; The box jumps really increased my vertical jumping ability and also helped polish the footwork I need before diving to make a save.&nbsp; I found that the biggest thing I gained from speed, strength and conditioning was the increase in my self image.&nbsp; Being stronger and faster, I found that I had a new level of confidence.&nbsp; This confidence is especially important for a goalkeeper, because the rest of the team can feed off of a goalkeepers' play and intensity."<BR><STRONG>--Brad Barnes, SMS Soccer, Senior Goaltender</STRONG></P> <P align=left>"Strength training is one of the most important factors for our style of play and is essential for building a program.&nbsp; In order for our program to compete on a national level our strength and conditioning program is an essential ingredient.&nbsp; Our strength and conditioning program has pushed our players to maximize their strength levels but has also increased vertical jumps and explosiveness in power and athleticism.&nbsp; Our style of play, especially defensively, and the strength and conditioniIE$a?GT#6m0ı{ke^ds#NBYaF#n/jrM+-hPĜXzMJ? f{*ʲLP1:~za+!`C oo&-tl-Ѵ=Ǽ;|hlA{eVO 0in$TSm$_E6m!OѪdYect5;bKiEj5DrʦG~|菘بҤvToJn3rM̠1S֧eKA22E4JZdKæΏ NI͎ }Kaa@ pKڴJA $rAȟF} U{(aXy*_al-Z l-ө-nSq;;\ZU@>Ābŋ3|ҺTh|94,u;( $jo W2x4pJ Э`ARnQ̲?bgj`| ?=ݷxq8e]\iR,-ߔvvLg-6.Q]Ԝ n*-ΉX %nTL@ܿy>oe*l7(R)
