For 20 years Bob has been a teacher, football coach, and strength coach. He has tried unsuccessfully for many years to get a strength coaches position on the salary schedule.  Besides being a great program for our kids, it gives official recognition to the coaches and their commitment to our students, says Coach Jennings. Jerry Wheeler and Bob Jennings along with Doug Larish, Mark Swartz, and Walt Sword developed the proposal.  The Mesa Schools have given us a great opportunity, to work with all students and sports to enhance athletic performance, reduce the drop out rate, and promote community relations, says Coach Wheeler<br>Since the positions began in August, each school has been responsible for tracking the number of individuals using the weight room. Daily records have been kept of athlete and non-athletes, male and female, faculty, and staff usage and workouts per week and month. Most weight rooms are open before school, at lunch, 6th period, after school, and on Saturday. In September, the number of workouts that took place was over 12,000. In October, over 15,000 workouts occurred. In November, almost 17,000 workouts took place in the Mesa High Schools.<br>Obviously the numbers have shown that the strength coaches pilot program has been successful.  At Westwood, all students, athletes and non-athletes have the opportunity to maximize the results of their strength training efforts, due to the availability of highly skilled, knowledgeable, and certified strength coaches, says Harold Crenshaw, principal. The program now goes to the teacher s union, Mesa Educational Association, and the school board for nize that weight training makes you feel better. It's like reaching for a personal best every day. It's a real good thing for anyone to do for their body and their attitude. It makes you feel good. <br>Malta's proges, and in some aspects, even harder than the guys."<br>"The biggest thing I told them is that there is one word that you never use in a sport: Can't. I think I got through to a lot of them with that," says Neil, "especially during the early days with their weight training. When they were struggling, they never said,  I can't do it, Coach.' Instead, they said,  I'll try harder the next time.' I think that attitude in the weight room came across in the pool as well."<br><br>Making Waves with Muscles<br><br>The basic philosophy in swimming is to work very hard, then taper off for the meets. As such, it's often difficult to see results during the training season, and patience becomes a virtue much sought after. However, Mark says he noticed many positive changes during their training after they overcame their initial soreness. The swimmers were coming off the blocks more explosvely. More importantly, they were riding higher on the water. "The higher you can ride on the water, the faster you can go because you're not pushing a lot of resistance--you're a tugboat down below and a speedboat above."<br>The changes weren't all in the water. The women began to take pride in the physical definition they were developing and improvements in their posture. "You could really see it in the way they stood and walked," says Mark, "The weight training was complementing the swimming right from the start."<br>In sports such as football, sometimes the best-conditioned team does not win. In swimming, what you see is usually what you get. For Dale and
