We base our awards on the BFS standards. If an athlete achieves All-State honors, they receive a <br>T-shirt or shorts with the BFS logo; if they achieve All-American honors, they receive BFS sweatshirts or sweatpants. The Boosters have also purchased BFS equipment such as the plyometric boxes and the Just Jump and Run computer system, and have sponsored two BFS clinics conducted by Bobby Poss, says Lloyd.<br>Smyrna High School has been educating students and training athletes for over 30 years, and the booster club has been there since the beginning, with approximately 15-20 members actively involved at any given time. Its organizational structure includes a president, currently Judy Horn, along with a vice president, secretary and treasurer. Its membership includes parents, coaches and other caring members of the community who want to help young athletes achieve their goals. To raise money, the Boosters hold a golf tournament in the spring, run the concession stands at home sporting events, sell merchandise (such as T-shirts, sweatshirts, umbrellas and seat cushions) and sell advertising space in the football programs.<br>At present, Smyrna High s athletes must lift in a multipurpose facility, a room that is used for many other functions, including wrestling practice. But thanks to a referendum recently passed by its school district, Smyrna High School will soon have a room exclusively devoted to sports conditioning. It will be approximately 30 by 70 feet, and will allow more students to train at once.<br>Rising Stars<br><br>Besides the overall improveent of Bennett's conditioning system is a focus on plyometric training, which he says comprises about 10 percent of his total program.  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 deep 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--reall
