However, most of the football players enjoy the workouts and are in the complex working four to five days a week, constantly striving to break their own records.<br> We have a lot of players who we need to watch carefully because they want to train every day. We are to the point now where we don t have to worry about getting kids to lift, but rather we have to make sure they don t overtrain. I guess that s not a bad thing to have happen, said Coach Adams.<br> Bigger Faster Stronger is great because the guys can see their own progress. Their competition with themselves is the real fuel to their fire. I have noticed constant improvement in the quality of work the guys are doing. Also, the time in the weight room allows for strong bonds to form between teammates. This dynamic team unity that begins in the weight room carries over to their on- and off-field relationships with each other. I like to think that a lot of our success is formed from the family environment that is initially created in the eight room, Riccio said.<br>This off-season the Mountain Lions are once again hard at work in the weight room in hopes of taking that next step of playing for a state championship next year. For two years in a row the Altoona players and coaches have come up one game short. But that s all the more reason to work that much harder this year. And one area of improvement will be with the in-season weight program.<br> I don t think we ve done a great job with the in-season program. If we want to win a state championship, I think it s going to come from not being satisfied with maintaining our strength throughout the season. We need to keep getting stronger, and the BFS in-season program is going to help! said Adams.<br>In 2003, the Mountain Lions expect nothing less than a trip to the state championship. And there is reason for their optimism. They have two of the best offensive linemen in the state of Pennsylvania in Sean Shannon and Zack Haulman. Whatever the outcome, the Mountain Lions know the road to the state championship will go through the weight room first. it correctly. They don t lift for about two weeks. The kids are so antsy after that they just can t wait to get going.<BR><BR><BR>How big is your weight room?<BR><BR>We have two weight rooms-one is 40 x 70, and the other is 30 x 50.<BR><BR>Why do you have two weight rooms?<BR><BR>We needed more weightlifting classes because the kids wanted it. Having a class every day in one room wasn t enough, so the principal, the vice-principal and I made another weight room. We called BFS and bought four more squat racks and five more benches, and platforms and dumbbells and a hip sled. We bought ll of it just for the new room and now we get about 300 kids going through the program every day.<BR><BR>What has been the effect of the BFS program at Riverton High School in regard to athletic performance?<BR><BR>Last year we made the state playoffs in football, which we felt great about because we only started seven seniors. The first year we had only about one month of lifting because the school had just opened up, so we were very weak. Now that we ve had a full two years, we re looking great and we re excited about the upcoming season.<BR><BR>How about the women s sports?<BR><BR>Our women s sports are doing great. Our volleyball team won the regions, and they re on the BFS program.<BR><BR>You have a master s degree in psychology. Do you find that the skills you learned in that field have helped you become a better coach?<BR><BR>Absolutely.Anybody who deals with the mind and behavior is always going to be talking about goal setting. Doing things for the future, doid focused.
