Why were you away from the sport for so long?<br><br>Schnorf: There s a long path from the time you first start teaching athletes how to perform thfits of the BFS core lifts to the athletes and encourage them to continue using the progra world level. It s such a huge commitment of time and energy to do it the way it should be done that sometimes it can burn you out. Besides that, it can be frustrating when your athletes lose interest or quit for other reasons. <br><br>BFS: So what made you get back into coaching lifters seriously?<br><br>Schnorf: James Williams, a high school thrower I was working with on the lifts, made an international junior squad in weightlifting, and that got me back into coaching the sport.<br><br>BFS: Did your physical education classes at college prepare you to coach weightlifting to young athletes?<br><br>Schnorf: At that time there was a reluctance to advocate weight training for kids, certainly prepubescent kids. In fact, I remember asking my instructors if it was safe and I can t recall anyone I ever ad contact with who was a proponent of early training.<br> <br>BFS: Do you know of any top lifters who experienced growth plate injuries from the sport?<br><br>Schnorf: In my experience I can t think of any who have been diagnosed with such an injury, and I would say that I ve certainly started more kids at an earlier age than all but a handful of coaches in this country. I ve known plenty of kids who developed serious injuries from playing baseball and other sports, but I ve had very, very few even moderate injuries in weightlifting.<br><br>BFS: Many medical experts will say that while it may be fine for kids to lift heavy weights, they must avod lifting weights overhead because it can easily damage the shoulder at that ag. What is your opinion?<br><br>Schnorf: Medical and cientific theory often conflict with practical experince. A lot of such theori the girls, there are a lot more things to consider. If you're not careful about what you say, they could take it the wrong way and they'll have a pretty bad attitude." <br>Dale agrees. "I would echo that part of it. I've coached high school girls and bos for about 20 years, and there is no denying the fact that the girls are more emotional. It's tough, and coaches are in an adversarial role to begin with because you're tring to get these kids to do things they've never done before. But when you get through to them, it's all worth it. With this last group of girls it was a joy coaching them because they were there and they were working hard--sometimes, and in some aspects, even harder than the guys."<br>"The biggest thing I told them is that there is one word that you never use in a sport: Can't. I think I got through to a lot of them with that," says Neil, "especially during the early days with their weight training. When they were struggling, they never said,  I can't do it, Coach.' Instead, they said,  I'll try harder the next time.' I think that attitude in t
