In football every game is important. Dr. Stone, too, has wrestled with this problem. Our BFS attainable goal is to continually get stronger throughout the season. We are always stronger as a team at the end of the season than at the beginning. I feel this has its advantages come play-off time.&nbsp;</P> <P>As Dr. Stone finished his first hour of his periodization discussion, he made a statement which shocked me. The discussion centered around seasonal sports like football. Dr. Stone stated, "So a typical periodization program may not work." The Standard periodization model must have adjustments made if it is to help athletes in team sports reach their potential. I have thought about these adjustments and implemented them with tens of thousands of athletes over the last 15 years. It is now fool-proof. I'm not saying it is the only way to adjust a Standard periodization model for team school sports. However, I do want you, the reader, to know I have not seen anything come close to the BFS system for multi-sport athletes in a high school environment over a one yealign=left>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV align=left>&nbsp;</DIV>dard periodization models can be great for mature college athletes engaged in an individual sport such as track. With a few adjustments, it should also be great for athletes who are starters in a team sport like football. Adjustments and fine tuning is the "art" of coaching.&nbsp;</P> <P>The second half of Dr. Stone's presentation was centered on the results of research studies on periodization. This was quite frustrating. The studies were those which showed periodization was better than systems using 3 sets of 6 reps, 5 sets of 6, or one set to failure. Well of course it is. Anytime you vary your workout you are going to have better results than if you do the same thing day after day and week after week. I present this in a form of a question at BFS Clinics. Every time, every kid says that variation is better. I guess that was what was so frustrating. Why do research on something everyone knows? I want to see research done on different adjustment possiblities within periodization. Dr. Stone answered, "There is still a lot of people that don't know variation is best. That's why I presented those particular studies." The studies presented were fine and interesting but we in 1996 should be way beyond that. Dr. Stone concluded, "It's not the work that is important but how you manipulate the variables." The studies presented found out that multiple sets work better thb4.UU+<3QA$ +/X;Q[dDn4#ᏆOIIaץkqd`qSɣxl0UëuCǠ5S;Unٸz2V|"_6sƼj9E&>%.<h4nH`GW8]yH'zmZi<{Bf$=ɣ׸ Tp>ǗO m"^}O>yj\3l;-1/O_ck}Z-Iq5H 3B}ag0IvJZ|pA`VIP:m$zuqDZ( 2Ut5MӹğN?*U-߉qCi Xvohd ?>N jQuS_h`F9û+Vg*wS t@7k]6a QцUHĈ tl@2[hx|~{&~Tm*:)G2Q֙5)yY{$l,w_:E}H<8o̚SۓZY"^ )\2]# T`qc̴WTH[j0+Q3E5,of~h FXXr[ Ck T}M8#ǿ\8۸nmxƐ$dz.-1Uw"ᄴeZ+p~.8#Uwae Sb΀ 1$*}l vᵚ-Uykz %P|[o;lTbzkkA#!:kO1F!}O,cH_<]#yG!$ f+9LvJWzIRs>^h4rfAМUIq5.*WvRy~9(/%`TF9Ǵ}[R;+ۘUbƯsoIr}[qDUP_5S̛zunCaӐ#z.rN|3nTZHJ35Kh8|>ǃmӃj:dߴ3{ݱH>(;0Fy w%&{PmD X8M[UZs.|O?P w *֙^ptVvXTa8jQGjlevAiv&~6$ADF-"%NP> 7.HX TBQm%- Pո%J%C zNO *}Uurv~vS=>c|B'g+ynƥzR8qhx{YQ7i iHjfLc a#)QI#FZd џ»d $᝼ҙ3Ɍ+4}܋ X()Bs@1]FR_v=cVvmT 5s>88 =3Ƕ7Ԩ$T|5'1uQOኯ M{L U6j -h$2X=CQ2Db]N]rN8ڂgCWʯ)
