Have these athletes sit on a bench or squat box as in Figure Six. Now, again say,  Be Tall and Spread the Chest. See Figure Seven. You might have to mold them by pushing in on their lower back and pulling back on their shoulders but they should be able to do it.<br>From this sitting position, which should look good by now, have them squat up a few inches and see if they can stay in the correct position. Some will and some won t. For the ones who still have a problem, simply start over. The last step is to have them stand erect. Tell them to try to remember the correct position and then do it. <br>Again, if they still can t, start over on the box. Most of the time I do not have to start over, even if I have 100 athletes. <br><br>IT S YOUR DUTY<br><br>The athletes and coaches at a BFS Clinic will hear the words  Spread the Chest several hundred times. Athletes will need to be corrected throughout the entire school year. It should just be part of everyone s vocabulary. <br>It is every spotter s duty to make sure that whoever is lifting is lifting with perfect technique. If the lower back is even one percent from perfect, coaches and athletes should always issue the commands  Be Tall and Spread the Chest. <br><br>SPREAD THE CHEST IN ALL THAT YOU DO <br><br>Remember, you can use this same coaching Absolute when coaching in any activity: running, jumping, stretching or sports practice. You will be a better athlete if the lower back is correct. You will be less injury prone if the lower back is correct. And, all you have to do is say,  Spread the Chest. tracking the number of individuals using the weight room. Daily records have been kept of athlete and non-athletes, male and female, faculty, and staff usage and workouts per week and month. Most weight rooms are open before school, at lunch, 6th period, after school, and on Saturday. In September, the number of workouts that took place was over 12,000. In October, over 15,000 workouts occurred. In November, almost 17,000 workouts took place in the Mesa High Schools.<br>Obviously the numbers have shown that the strength coaches pilot program has been successful.  At Westwood, all students, athletes and non-athletes have the opportunity to maximize the results of their strength training efforts, due to the availability of highly skilled, knowledgeable, and certified strength coaches, says Harold Crenshaw, principal. The program now goes to the teacher s union, Mesa Educational Association, and the school board for consideration of permanent placement on the salary schedule. We are hopeful that the program will continue to serve our students, athletes, faculty, and staff and serve as a model for other high school strength coaches.<br>If you would like more information on the Mesa Strength Coaches proposal and program, you may contact either Walt Sword or Bob Jennings at Westwood High School.
