However, the most exciting part of the clinic was when Bozied got the kids to set new PR s on the Box Squat and everyone was cheering and yelling encouragements. Everyone got a new perspective on their own ability to break records.<br>____________________<br><br>BFS: Would you recommend having a cliic to other schools?<br><br>Coach Ewald: Absolutely! I think you can tell that my enthusiasm for BFS is hard to hide. My athletic director allowed me to implement BFS in our classes. I had all sorts of kids signed up for the class and they all loved it. Due to remodeling, we had to move our weight room sveral times and for the next month we won t have a weight room. Kids you would never expect to lift weights are itching to get back to the BFS Program. They say they are losing their edge. Some have even gone out to gyms to continue there. If schools want that kind of participation, they need to have a clinic and get the BFS Total Program going in their school.<br>____________________<br><br>BFS: What was involved in moving your weight room?<br><br>ht the help of Canadian strength coach Charles Poliquin, whom she says helped her immensely with her lifting techniques. Coach Poliquin says Freeman is one of the most amazing athletes he has ever trained, as evidenced by her best lifts of 264x2 in the power clean, 375x3 in the parallel squat, and five reps in the parallel grip chin-up with 66 pounds strapped to her waist!<br>Asked about how Freeman's strength level compares to other sprinters and hurdlers, Kearney replied,  Michelle is probably ahead of about 95 percent of them. She's extremely strong and extremely explosive naturally, and the weight program has enhanced those qualities. <br>Another part of her training has been massage. For this, she praises Dr. Keith Pyne, who was able to work on Freeman when he lived in Dallas. <br>Using a therapy called Active Release Treatment Techniques (ART), Pyne was able to help Freeman avoid injuries and increase the intensity of her training.  What I would do with Michelle is not so much treat injuries, but make sure her gait patterns and kinetic firing patterns were in proper order to maximize her ability to perform. Active Release helps break up the fascial planes and scar tissue that would form from the stress of being an athlete at that level. <br>At the 1996 Olympics, Freeman channeled her great focus hile maintaining proper sprint mechanicslines. In my area of coaching the sprints and hurdles, that can be the difference between being first or coming in last in your event final. Dr. Ripley uses his modified active release techniques to enhance muscle functioning and also to expedite rehabilitation of injury.<br><br>BFS: What problems do you encounter with your freshman sprinters?<br>DS: A sprinter needs to have equality between their front-side and backside mechanics. What I find is that due to a lack of basic strength, our younger sprinters often have developed significantly greater backside mechanics, reducing front-side mechanics. As a result, braking action increases, severely restricting force application as they sprint down the track at maximum velocity.<br><br>BFS: Some coaches believe that by the time an athlete reaches college, many technique flaws are so ingrained that they are virtually impossible to correct. Do you agree?<br>DS: Not at all. When we get a new person in, it s exciting to see that there are things we can do to help them improve. Of course there s no denying that it takes tremendous patience to correct technique flaws. Muna Lee is a perfect example. When she initially enrolled she couldn t lift a 45-pound bar. I told her,  You watch---this is going to be fun; o
