We have always had good female athletes who have taken pride in conditioning, says Coach Vena. Many of the females who hold weight training records are cheerleaders.  We have to educate these young people to overcome some of the negative myths that have been attached to weight training, says Vena.<br>The coaches and physical education teachers of Fayette County Schools were fortunate to have Jim Brown, Strength and Conditioning Coach at Poplar Bluff Senior High School in Missouri, present a BFS Clinic in February. Coach Brown worked with coaches and athletes from various schools in Fayette County on the BFS Program. Coach Vena will use Jim Brown s efforts to generate a greater desire within the athletes to improve physically and raise student involvement in the weight training program by challenging the athletes to break personal records and recognize their success.  We would like to evolve into model programs such as the ones at Poplar Bluff Junior and Senior High Schools, says Coach Vena. <br>Closer to home, Rising Starr Middle School and Starr s Mill High School provide excellent examples of model programs. The Starr s Mill program was in place and running before they had a school facility. Starr s Mill head football coach, Mike Earwood ordered weight training equipment and had it delivered to Whitewater where he operated his summer strength and conditioning program. The desire to improve athletes remains a high priority at Starr s Mill. The coaches, athletes, and parents ned a program specifically for the girls, plus some extra auxiliary lifts. It s year-round as well. They train three times a week during the school year and four times per week during the summer in June and July. It s my entire volleyball team and I d say my attendance is 90 percent--not bad for summer. Of course, the end of the weight training coincides with y try-outs so there s extra incentive for the girls to do it. <br>So why is Coach Zavala so sold on the BFS program?  I ve seen the gains and improvements. We jump very well, the girls are quicker and we have fewer injuries. We can play a two-hour match and ask who s sore the next day, and no one utters a groan. Three years ago that wasn t the case. Their bodies just don t wear down now. <br>Not surprising, Coach Zavala is now weight training two days a week herself!<br><br>A Senior Coming <br>On Strong<br><br>The changes in the sport are not just for the young girls growing up with the opportunity. It is there for female athletes of all ages who are ready for a new challenge and appreciate the opportunities and new acceptance of women in sports.<br>For Val Jalajas (pronounced like yell-at-us) a 22-year-old senior at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, North Carolina, the vault came knocking at her door. A former child gymnast, Val was taking a tennis class from the track coach. The two began talking about form anhat some gyms had positioned sraps to secure the feet.  They simply idn t have access to materials, or the budget, to have someone make a sophisticated glute-ham developer for them. When Charniga returned to the U.S. and told others of his findings and his success with the exercise hmsel, resourceful equipment manufacturers began experimenting with desins for a glute-ham developer. The BFS glute-ham developer, with its adjustable foot plate and rounded pelvic support represents the latest in the evolution of this apparatus.<br>The glute-ham exercise is a must for evry serious strength training program. When I was hired as a stength coach for the U.S. Air orce Academy in 1987, m first day on the job I ordered two BFS glute-ham developers. Because we had to work with nearly 1,000 athletes, the Aca
