Coming Full Circle

What is going on in high school weight rooms?

At this time of year, I get to see what’s going on inside a lot of high school weight rooms, and I’ve got to tell you something – it’s downright scary. The four things I see most often are:

1. Lack of supervision

2. Poor technique

I saw on your twitter page info about a presentation you gave about performing the clean without the catch. Do you have any more info on this? I am a high school football coach at Grand Blanc.

Thanks

I think it is great you have a hockey treadmill, they are very effective in gaining speed. I am in Cadillac, attempting to run boot camps in this economy. I also have a small weight room in an ice arena, currently training high school athletes. I would like to visit your facility some day, maybe when the snow is not so deep!

You will have to email me your schedule or comment me back. My old roommate was a Evans scholar an lived in shaw west an was back in town so he wanted to get some pic's with the girls and him on our stomping grounds.

I recently left Velocity after working on their corporate side for a few years and am currently in a fitness role for a private medical practice in Southern California. I hope things are going well for you, I still refer folks to your book. When is the next one coming out?

At 8:47am on July 22, 2009, Kim Ford said…: Thanks Jim. I stopped by your web site, it looks very good! I wanted to attend the S&C clininc but couldn't. Looks like that was informative also! Looks like you are doing a lot of great things! Hope to stop by and see your facility some day.
