Eyes On Target<br>President s Note: In past issues, I introduced the Six Absolutes, which illustrated how coaching techniques in the weight room can be easy and amazingly effective in teaching and learning perfect technique. All coaches and athletes should use the Six Absolutes when coaching or spotting. You can also use these Six Absolutes when coaching any sport.Coach Dollar implemented the concept of lifting clubs, where the top 33 players were ranked by the total of the three core lifts (squat, clean, & bench). The three levels are, Berkuts, Golden Eagles, and Eagles. Each athlete was given a t-shirt to wear at every workout to show their  flight status . The number of 250 pound benches went from zero to fifteen, 225 pound cleaners from zero to twenty-four, and 350 pound squatters from zero to fifteen. <br><br>The Second Season<br><br>The second season began with raised expectations for Golden Eagle football. Spirit was high and determination was strong and a huge early season shutout victory at perennial district champion Charlotte paved the way to an 8-2 season. Record-holding seniors like Victor Cabral (Ga. Southern), Rob Richter (Elon), and Brandon Marshall were able to taste th sweetness of success after years of bitter defeat. Their enthusiasm, effort and tempo in the weight room spread to others in the program, and the bar measuring excellence in the weight room continued to rise. <br>As success in the strength program grew, the word spread throughout the school s other sports. The ladies sprinters & jumpers began lifting right alongside the guys. Graduated senior Danielle Jones went from a 29 foot triple jump her junior year, to winning the district at 34 feet after not missing a workout during the summer. Rachel Threlkeld (Jr.) went from long jumping n the low 14 s to 17 feet, while achonly a frction of a second to return that tennis serve or to break that tackle. This is exactly wh athletes who excel in the weight room often may be outplayed by physically weaker opponents who can apply a given level of strength more quickly.<br>Formost athletes, especially beginning-level and most high school athletes, powr cleans and push jerks can produce significant improvements in power. And with limited amounts of time available tomost of these athletes, the basic BFS system s perfect. However, athletes who have extra tim or who are at especially high levels of ability may be ready for more sport-specific power ovements using medicine balls.<br>For example, a volleyball player will want to achieve maximal jumping ability. If the player does a series of squats using a barbell, the weight slows down, achieving zero velocity at the end of the movement. This is necessary for safety purposes. But in jumping, there is an increase in velocity, with peak forces occurring near the end of the movement. This difference in velocity curves may not mean much to a 12-flat sprinter trying to lower their time to 11.9, but such training details mean a lot to a 10.4 sprinter trying to lower their time to 10.39. <br><br>Testing<br><br>In addition to their use in developing power, medicine balls are a great tool to determine if an athlete needs to concentrate more on increasing strength or power. A great test, and one that is used extensively in Europe, is to have an athlete throw various weights of medicine balls overhead a
