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 desie to attain strength, power, speed and agility is what Coach Vena seeks to instill in his athletes.<br>Whitewater s facility transformed from classrooms to bare walls to the achievement of a dream through hard work and determination. Whitewater Middle School has demonstrated that with the proper amount of effort and perseverance, Upper Limit success can be accomplished.<br><br><br>__________<br><br><br> Students who consistently participate in the weight training program have made physical improvements. Students need the opportunity to workout in the weight room on a regular basis.  Coach Vena turntable theater in which The 100-Yard Universe film, a premier production by NFL Films is shown.<br>I was struck by the lack of size of the older linemen that had been inducted into the Hall of ame. It became crystal clear how important strength and conditioning has become and its contribution to the evolution of the modern day player. To the left are some examples. <br><br>It was fitting that the Pro Football Hall of Fame was located in Canton. It is the cradle of football. The Massillon-Canton McKinley is a 104-year high school rivalry. Pro Football got its start in the Northeast Ohio area. The tradition continues today as strong as ever.<br><br>Fan to Ryan s durability, his heart and determination did the rest. Cousin Chris Seebruck added a 1250 yard season and a record setting, single gwith the passion and love each coach had in working with the Evangel kids.&nbsp; Each coach spiritually ministers to the players.&nbsp; I know fist hand they have saved many kids that might otherwise be in gangs, drugs, or in jail.&nbsp; The coching staff does a better job off the field than they do on theruck, went down with a broken leg.
