When you put plyometrics in at the right spots, after your strength base has been built, I think it can be an ultra valuable asset to your program. But you've got to have a good foundation of leg strength, especially when you get into those  high dollar plyometrics such as depth jumps. If you're legs are not strong enough, you're just not going to be able to get that pop you need when you jump off a box. <br>Another key component of Bennett's program is box squats.  We teach our athletes to box squat right off the bat. Besides taking a lot of stress off the knees because you don't have such an acute knee-joint angle, it teaches you to sit way back. And because the box is going to gauge your depth, going dee enough never really becomes a problem. Obviously when we take the box out from under them there is some adjustment because your knees have to go more forward to make it more natural, but our technique just seems to be picture perfect. <br>Bennett got hooked on box squats through powerlifting guru Louie Simmons, one of the most accomplished powerlifting coaches in the world. Coach of the famous Westside Barbell Club in Columbus, Ohio, Simmons has trained dozens of world champions and world record holders.  I competed in powerlifting when I was at Virginia Tech, and at that time I read Louie's articles and visited him quite a bit, says Bennett.  I got involved with what Louie did, which included using box squats, and started doing them myself. They worked, and they worked well without beating up my body when I was doing rep testing. When you get where you can squat about 650 and start doing rep testing, it's gets rather taxing on the body.<br> At Marshall, we played every home game and practiced every practice on the Astro turf. That turf is a monkey, you know--really tough on the body. During the season our players couldn't do many regular squats because their knees and hips were hick and myself up until 1990, but now we've grown to 20 because the need has increased. What I really love about our company is every summer we get ll our clinicians together in Utah to  ij@f we're still on the samepage, and to plan what we can do to make things better. <BR>On a personal note, Greg Shepard has always been there for me as well as for all the other clinicians. Greg has great vision and optimism -- he sees only the greatest in something. He's continually striving to make this company better.<BR><BR>BFS isn't the only company out there with plenty to say about improving performance. With all the strength coaching and personal training organizations out there, are coaches generally caught up with the latest research in conditioning and doinng most o the right things?<BR>We aren't even close to being caught up! We still have coaches who believe that weight training will stunt growth and make athletes muscle-bound. We still have coaches who believe that you should put heat on a turned ankle. And I'm just amazed that coaches will drive 500 miles to learn how to stop a wing-T offense, but they won't drive 50 miles or even stay in their own community to learn how to train their athletesbetter by attending a BFS clinic.<BR><BR>So how do you explain the problem? Bad coaches or bad training information?<BR>More often than not,it's that the information is conflicting and overly complicated. People get overwhelmed by it. In fact, I'e been involved with one strength coaching organization where you almost need a medical degree to understand some of their literature on training. Also, there is often no unity in some of these organizations, which is one reason why so many college strength coaches got together recently and formed their own organization.<BR><BR>So you like BFS's practical and simple approach to training?<BR>Exactly. And what really separates a BFS clinic from the rest is that our clinics are full of motivation and we offer hands-on trainig. <BR><BR>Does this attitude carry over into the BFS coaches' certification?<BR>No doubt about it. You're not going to read a boo and answer a few multiple-choice questions to become a certified strength coach through BFS.
