Geometry and general math are associated with weight training through joint and lifting angles and calculation of percentages.<br><br>The Athletes and <br>Their Goals<br><br>Several Whitewater athletes have begun arriving before school starts, to lift weights under the watchful eyes of Coach Vena, demonstrating a high level of commitment. Their efforts should pay them great dividends in high school. Goals are set to improve strength (core lifts), power (vertical jump), speed (40 yard dash), and agility (Dot Drill).<br>The classes also have female students in attendance.  We have always had good female athletes who have taken pride in conditioning, says Coach Vena. Many of the females who hold weight training records are cheerleaders.  We have to educate these young people to overcome some of the negative myths that have been attached to weight training, says Vena.<br>The coaches and physical education teachers of Fayette County Schools were fortunate to have Jim Brown, Strength and Conditioning Coach at Poplar Bluff Senior High School in Missouri, present a BFS Clinic in February. Coach Brown worked with coaches and athletes from various schools in Fayette County on the BFS Program. Coach Vena will use Jim Brown s efforts to generate a greater desire within the athletes to improve physically and raise student involvement in the weight training program by challenging the athletes to break personal records and recognize their success.  We would like to evolve into model programs such as the ones at Poplar Bluff Junior and Senior High Schools, says Coach Vena. <br>Closer to home, Rising Starr Middle School and Starr s Mill High School provide excellent examples of model programs. The Starr s Mill program was in place and running before they had a school facility. Starr s Mill head football coach, Mike Earwood ordered weight training equipment and had it delivered to Whitewater where he operated his summer strength and conditioning program. The desire to improve athletes remains a high priority at Starr s Mill. The coaches, athletes, and parents moved all the strength and conditioning equipment six times before housing a permanent location for their program. This desire to attain strength, power, speed and agility is what Coach Vena seeks to instill in his athletes.<bcoach 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 helpig 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 beause his team atthe time wasn't having much success. I wrote a personal recommendation for Joel to Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau, and that helped him receive a partial scholarship. Joel played so well for the school that the partial scholarship turned into a full scholarship and he earned a college degree. Helping Joel fulfill his dreams was one of my most gratifying accomplishments, but there have also been countless others.<BR><BR>Give us an idea of the facilities you have at
