What s funny is that when we first built our weight room I was concerned we had ordered too much equipment in terms of weight. By the end of the year our athletes had become so strong that I had to ask the superintendent to order another 1,000 pounds of weights---and it looks like every year I m going to need another barbell and more weights. <br><br>Safety in Small Numbers <br><br>One of the appealing aspects of attending Ubly High School is safety, and it s said locally that crime is so low that if a teenager gets a speeding ticket it will make the paper. Says Becker,  What people don t understand is that when you go into the hallways of most high schools you ll see padlocks on the lockers---we don t padlock anything here. We don t have the problem of people taking other people s things. We feel safe---that says a lot! <br>Another plus about living in Ubly is a sense of community.  You ve heard the phrase  In a small town everybody knows everybody ? In Ulby it s true. We ve got a blinking traffic light in this town and that s it. Ubly is a farming community, and a lot of the people in this town went to school here---some of the coaches have been around long enough to have coached some of the kids parents. So whether it s football, basketball or baseball, our stands are always packed. And as for education, whenever you get the community involved with the school and the kids believing in themselves, that s when learning is best. That s when good things happen. re them, so they had to warm up in a hurry. They ended up jumping pretty well because they were great natural talents, but these were athletes who really didn't take care of their bodies, and you wonder what they could have done if they had taken better care of themselves."<br>A major portion of Amy's training is the Olympic lifts, but she also performs several auxiliary lifts for the lower back, abs and the upper body. "It's important to keep the upper body strong for coordination," says Amy. "At the takeoff you really have to move the upper body--you can't just be a limp noodle." She also says it's important for jumpers to perform specialized exercises for their ankles. "You get a lot of power from your feet, and if your ankles are hurting you're going to suffer. I do all kinds of ankle strengthening, such as picking up sand and running on the toes to strengthen the arches, surgical tubing exercises, and rocker boards--I work on my ankles a lot."<br>For younger jumpers, Amy believes in the importance of being exposed to a variety of sports. "You learn a lot through other sports and through competition. It's just like your academic studies--you need to become a student of your sport and learn all there is about it. The high jump takes a lot of technique, but you can't stop there. You need to learn the mechanics, the physics and the psychology of the jump to really succeed."<br>Amy has given quite a bit of thought to the psychology of sports and believes there are some truths behind the stereotypes about track and field athletes. She says that sprinters are confident, bordering on cocky; throwers are the jokers and are laid-back; pole vaulters are the daredevils, and distance runners tend to engage in strange rituals and habits that she feels border on "just plain weird." She also says that because decathletes have an appreciation for all the events, they tend to make a lot of friends and, she adds, "have the nicest bodies."<br><br> <br>Posing for Perfection<br><br>Although her plate is full with athletics and studies, Amy does have a few outside interests, such as modeling. She is currently represented by Click, and Amy says the agency likes the idea that she is an athlete. <br>Although most women have a hard time getting modeling assgnments because the
