We ve got six Power Platforms down the center. The three stations give us the opportunity to work each exercise light, medium and heavy. This is great for the female athletes. <br>Has the BFS clinic made any difference on the playing field?<br> Oh yes! Last year we won the Missouri 4A State Championship, says Pukala.  But even more than that, our injury rate plummeted. I believe the reason is the glute-ham machine. In years past we ve averaged five and six hamstring injuries a season. Last year we won, without one single hamstring injury. We d been into the program about nine or ten months leading into the season, and I m certain that BFS is the reason we were injury free. <br>Pukala shares the strength coaching responsibilities with two other coaches, all BFS trained. He recalls a little reluctance to the program at first particularly from the female athletes. With the expanded weight room and light stations, that seemed to evaporate. The Parallel Squat took a little while for people to accept as well, but when the team played a successful season with no injuries, even the skeptics had to admit there was merit to the program. He says that while the varsity sports are already pretty much unified on BFS, some other sports like golf are coming around as well.  Most classes participate, he says.  My class does BFS exclusively, some of the other athletes do it on their own. He estimates about 30 percent of the school s students participate in a sport of some kind.<br>In addition to beating rival Hazelwood East, Pukala hopes to see all the athletes on the program in the coming year. He d also like to see more expansion of the weight room, particularly for cardiovascular equipment. He has a strong feeling he ll see the entire school s athletic program following the BFS guidelines; but with the cost of a stair climber hovering around $3,500, he admits that the latter wish of his dream-ps'=\Z'omT2ѨLJ#rsUj#RH 8Nj9lTq֝3Ӆ(l&fսݴhG$@$@,}VQwU1\DŽs`k"y@y18Ehn5P@mCoDUW&ϙ]*c'gs7sMa-TWy.S}N²%..$I%fΊu>W0Jm:}$Hd =qE'.&%V}[OY#W1E-R>zʏ_ٸ_E{Y?U6:nuj,)Ҋ*YixN?VkifgλwN:*eRTͽYC^*r&ѱp#;V+9QMqB^>7sZ"ܲu,dC"Z0] 7af[>[Pc𢊸Uq$2h5#yxUn'T_鄛ZR¢VqHiUJNqu$>pʡ? mW _ VQlt-Z$gm$j[QO-iᕦ|jb֙+}>/fc P`Eˈ+S(Y upper body strength on the field.

Some rolled the weight while some carried the individual pieces. During the competition the athletes got spread out across the course. The first athletes crossed the finish line exhausted about ready to puke. But then they looked back up the hill.<br>They saw their teammates exhausted and tired carrying th
