Some are non-athletes, like our cheerleaders, who use ou program for conditioning. It's great. <br>For LeeAnn, strength training was not only the catalyst for her championships in shot, javelin, basketball and volleyball, but also for her confident, positive attitude.  A lot of people don't recognize that weight training makes you feel better. It's like reaching for a personal best every day. It's a ral good thing for anyone to do for their body and their attitude. It makes you feel good. <br>Malta's program relies on the BFS core lifts, and BFS training materials have been on Coach Sargent's desk since he began coaching.  We start out on quarter parallel squats, then bench squats, but with each kid we may work out a little differently. We all enjoy the one-rep-max contests we have three times a year. That's one of the great things about the BFS program. It brings out team camaraderie in weight training, which for many is only self-oriented. <br>Malta High was recently treated to a new $12.6 million building, after a fire destroyed the former facility. The weight room is an adequate 940 square feet with a full gamut of serious strength training equipment including power racks. LeeAnn wishes the strength training area could be larger, but she's proud of her school.<br> I wish we had more sports to participate in. But we still have great support for all our athletes and a really great academic school, she says.  When we were out of town at the state tournament we took a look at the other school's grading standard. For them, 90 to 100 was an A. For Malta it's 94 to 100. They had people passing at 60; at my school we'd flunk out! <br><br>A Day in the Life<br><br>LeeAnn works out four days a week. On the fifth day she does cardio, which may be in the form of plyometrics, football, jumping rope or anything else she can find to get herself running around. Her weight training is basic: working her upper body two days out of the week and her lower body two days.<br>In addition to her hour of weights, she attends practices and some days watches the games at home to hone her competition and performance. She still manages to participate in the Church Parish Youth Program.<br> We work mostly on fund-raisers. For instance, we just bought a man a computer. He had his leg amputated and was trying to write his diary, but didn't have a computer. We do a lot of that type of work.<br> We also send two representatives to the parish council to give them input about how the kids feel about our church. It's good that we're able to express our opinions, and the council appreciates being able to stay in touch with the youth. It's important. <br>LeeAnn looks up to many sports celebrities, including soccer's Mia Hamm, but she admireso<*)c:Hm}eƁec澪8s3dmrOh7"- .I :5FL2Xo ?-c.0T2m7Gz!&;m7ֹyfԱ?c;
