Most of the time I do not have to start over, even if I have 100 athletes. <br><br>IT S YOUR DUTY<br><br>The athletes and coaches at a BFS Clinic will hear the words  Spread the Chest several hundred times. Athletes will need to be corrected throughout the entire school year. It should just be part of everyone s vocabulary. <br>It is every spotter s duty to make sure that whoever is lifting is lifting with perfect technique. If the lower back is even one percent from perfect, coaches and athletes should always issue the commands  Be Tall and Spread the Chest. <br><br>SPREAD THE CHEST IN ALL THAT YOU DO <br><br>Remember, you can use this same coaching Absolute when coaching in any activity: running, jumping, stretching or sports practice. You will be a better athlete if the lower back is correct. You will be less injury prone if the lower back is correct. And, all you have to do is say,  Spread the Chest. elves and what they re doing.<br><br>Another unique aspect of Franklin High s BFS program is its poetry. The girls are required to memorize a different poem  one usually connected with athletics or self-improvement  every six weeks, and to write poems of their own.<br> You can not separate the mind from the body, Young, a former English teacher said. Not only can she see an improvement in her students memory due in part to their physical and mental workouts, but Young added that group tasks such as memorizing poetry contributes to a sense of teamwork among the students.<br><br>The overall results are striking, Young said,  I can see them all getting so much more self-confident, she said.  They all feel so much better about themselves, particularly the older girls, who have worked so hard for three-and-a-half years. It s sometimes just the little things that they now pay attention to, like the changes in their nutritional habits. A couple of cheerleaders stopped one day and said,  See Mrs. Young, we re drinking juice and not Dr. Pepper or Coke.  <br><br>Most of the girls list  getting in shape,  improving in their sport, and  losing weight as their primary reasons for taking BFS, but they also acknowledge the other benefits they ve received from Young s class.<br><br> We re learning about bones and muscles and stuff, said Amanda McCoy, who s been in BFS since the second semester of her freshman year. A senior who plays softball and basketball, McCoy said she believes that memorizing and writing poetry is paying off in other areas of her schoolwork and athletic career.  It helps me remember, she said,  and helps me concentrate. <br><br>Junior Amanda Waldroop, a cross country runner, sees another benefit to the poetry.<br><br> Sometimes, when I m not feeling good, I remember a sentence from a poem that makes me feel better. <br><br>Junior Penny Thompson, who plays softball, volleyball and basketball, admits she doesn t particularly like having to memorize poems, but said,  They do give us a lot of good messages. <br><br>And Krystal Laughlin, a junior goalie on the soccer team who enjoys the physical challenges of BFS, said those messages are important.<br><br> It makes me feel better about myself, she said,  and teaches me that I can accomplish things, and that makes me a stronger person. <br><br>One of the keys to the success of the program is that Young never lets it get stale.<br> The seniors have seen me change the course every year, Young said,  according to the things I ve learned over the summer. I think that helps keep them interested and gives t
