The athlete needs to learn to balance himself on the entire foot. The heels cannot come up. Be tall, spread the chest, eyes on target and sit with the hips well back. This will keep the knees aligned over the toes.<br><br>#6 Eyes on Target:<br><br> This is such a wonderful phrase with many applications. Use it all the time in the weight room and during a regular practice. Your target can change depending on the lift or the situation. Training your athletes to keep their eyes on whatever target you dictate will pay big dividends.<br>Squat: eyes on target straight ahead. Power Clean: during the jump phase, the eyes should be on target high on the wall or on a specific point on the ceiling. In one of our feature articles in this journal, an athlete has his eyes down, thus his chin is down and thus out of his power line on a cleaning movement. Can you find it? If you do, you should start smiling as you come to realize that these Six BFS Absolutes are not only for high school beginners but advanced athletes as well. It also means you can become a strength and conditioning expert very quickly.<br>Sprint Stance: Eyes on target three feet in front. Sprinting: Eyes on target straight ahead. Tackling: straight ahead. Jumping: straight ahead.<br>What about when you are three points behind in a football game with only two minutes left and your opponents have the ball. What is your target? The ball! Have fun with this. Be creative!<br><br><br>______________________<br><br><br>THE BFS SIX ABSOLUTES<br><br>Athletic or Jump Stance<br><br>Be Tall <br><br>Spread the Chest <br> (Lock-in Lower Back) <br><br>Toes Aligned <br><br>Knees Aligned <br><br>Eyes on Targetthe American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine, each year approximately 20,000 high school girls suffer serious knee injuries, most involving the ACL. Several theories have been proposed to determine why women are at such a high risk; here are just a few:<br>" Girls don't usually get involved in sports at a young age, leaving their coordination for sports behind that of males.<br>" Because women have less muscle mass than men, they may rely more on their ligaments for support than on their muscles.<br>" A woman's wider pelvis changes the alignment of her lower extremities, causing a woman's thighs to angle inward in a knock-kneed position and the lower legs and feet to turn outwards, putting the lower extremities in a vulnerable position.<br><br>The BFS program specifically develops one of the most important muscle groups in preventing ACL injuries: the hamstrings. Researchers have determined that the deadlift and the power clean are great exercises that work the hamstrings, but for direct work you can't beat the glute-ham raise. A BFS auxiliary lift, the glute-ham raise enables the athlete to work both the knee and hip extensor functions of the hamstrings, unlike the leg curl which only works knee extension or the back extension which only works hip extension.<br>Men have been breaking their own records for centuries. It was once believed that breaking the four-minute mile was impossible. Not only was it achieved, but with each passing year the times became faster. Today, the limits to females' performance are not even in sight.<br><br>Pain and Flexibility Differences<br><br>Studies have shown that women are more apt to report symptoms of injury than men. Research conducted at the Neurology Research Laboratory at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, shows that the forebrains of women subjects were significantly more active during pain than men's. With the same level of stimulus to the forearm, women reported more pain than men did. ux}΅з_}idVPR8"k2rZW hWݖס=o=oJBGPCr '8-]=QҘ=M'=!>JO0{Cz(1xNnjNkjKYDqjSKkv3R T cDHJQ>aQi,)$Jc\zDv12JccK(JwXu,$^y䉕ަZ8JmN@̾_dNjz+_S\dgqT*@qVp4}vnM'8?5,dhѴ;ҐyHrE`$8VoZ'ET4c+ 3WK?jFpV4tDZI .[v. %e68Z2aޥ3c fCKX,ccY7^[{iMI+}}ʘP/u΅#WsȠT0*b?:쌓WG(2lIb*Q"E1Qp?(
