Steven,

I'm glad you set up this group. You mentioned below that your weight room is "a little different from those in college". Can you expand on this a bit? Different equipment? Different layout? Different s&c philosophy?

Thanks - I look forward to hearing from you.

-David

to expand a little bit about being "Different " than college is that we train student athletes who come in the weight room with NO knowledge at all on lifting and getting faster, i know some colleges have maybe a few athletes who come in with no weight training experiance. dealing 14-18 year old boys and girls and teaching them correctly how to lift and motivate them to strive to be better athletes, even though sometimes sports is not a major priority can be challenging at times, especially at my school (inner city )

i guess the biggest difference i see is college S&C jobs is to build on a foundation hopefully someone has already put in place before they get there. High school S&C are in place to create that good foundation.

at tech i use alot periodization here at tech. i like to focus more in the olympic lift develoment, just stemming from my involment with collegiate track and field. two main goals in my philosohpy injury prevention and increasing genaral fitness through core lifts (bench,squat,power clean) and the olympics lifts(snatch,push and spit jerks. ect....) i have more detailed on our lifting web site www.titandomination.com

Cool stuff. You should get some kids together and come over to Brownsburg next month. We're having a Schoolage/ Junior Qualifier. S/C coach at Brownsburg is Bryan Neese (of WSM fame)- look him up. I've been at Milan 10 years. I'll check out your site. BTW-My dad worked on the Guardhouse Renovation Project a few years ago. .
