Daily records have been kept of athlete and non-athletes, male and female, faculty, and staff usage and workouts per week and month. Most weight rooms are open before school, at lunch, 6th period, after school, and on Saturday. In September, the number of workouts that took place was over 12,000. In October, over 15,000 workouts occurred. In November, almost 17,000 workouts took place in the Mesa High Schools.<br>Obviously the numbers have shown that the strength coaches pilot program has been successful.  At Westwood, all students, athletes and non-athletes have the opportunity to maximize the results of their strength training efforts, due to the availability of highly skilled, knowledgeable, and certified strength coaches, says Harold Crenshaw, principal. The program now goes to the teacher s union, Mesa Educational Association, and the school board for consideration of permanent placement on the salary schedule. We are hopeful that the program will continue to serve our students, athletes, faculty, and staff and serve as a model for other high school strength coaches.<br>If you would like more information on the Mesa Strength Coaches proposal and program, you may contact either Walt Sword or Bob Jennings at Westwood High School. You may also contact Jerry Wheeler, at Mountain View, Doug Larish, at Mesa High, Mark Swartz, at Skyline, Steve Cerqua, at Red Mountain, or Steve Hogen, district athletic director for more information. <br> We are very excited about the strength coaching positions at our high schools, says Hogen.  This is an awesome example of what can be accomplished through a combined effort by quality instructors."er of for the meets. As such, it's often difficult to see results during the training season,ad p most effective Power Line or outside the lifter s center of gravity. This drill also helps the athlete coordinate the jump with correct elbow position.<br><br>Drill #3 helps the athlete coordinate the jump with the landing position. At BFS Clinics that have the participation package, the coaches at the school will move from athlete to athlete as they mold each of them into the correct position. If an athlete lands incorrectly, he/she must be corrected on the spot. <br><br>Thanks to Burroughs High School, Coach Steinberg and Leland for helping me with this article. I had a great time at their clinic and worked with many  Elevens. ed," says Mark, "The weight training was complementing the swimming right from the start."<br>In sports such as football, sometimes the best-conditioned team does not win. In swimming, what you see is usually what you get. For Dale and Mark, what they got were better times and heavier lifts.<br>The previous page shows some of the before and after results of the BFS program from November  97 to March  98.<br>Keep in mind that these changes are big! A swimmer who knocks off a second is like a weightlifter adding another 50 y because they have big bodies they re lifting as well as the big weights, says Schmitz.  Their recovery is different and for a lot of them there are differences in their flexibility and their speed. I ve been lucky to have the supers that I ve had, but with two Olympians in the lighter classes (Cantore and Nguygen, who both weighed less than 150 pounds) I ve proven I can coach these athletes
