For 20 years Bob has been a teacher, football coach, and strength coach. He has tried unsuccessfully for many years to get a strength coaches position on the salary schedule.  Besides being a great program for our kids, it gives official recognition to the coaches and their commitment to our students, says Coach Jennings. Jerry Wheeler and Bob Jennings along with Doug Larish, Mark Swartz, and Walt Sword developed the proposal.  The Mesa Schools have given us a great opportunity, to work with all students and sports to enhance athletic performance, reduce the drop out rate, and promote community relations, says Coach Wheeler<br>Since the positions began in August, each school has been responsible for tracking the number of individuals using the weight room. Daily records have been kept of athlete and non-athletes, male and female, faculty, and staff usage and workouts per week and month. Most weight rooms are open before school, at lunch, 6th period, after school, and on Saturday. In September, the number of workouts that took place was over 12,000. In October, over 15,000 workouts occurred. In November, almost 17,000 workouts took place in the Mesa High Schools.<br>Obviously the numbers have shown that the strength coaches pilot program has been successful.  At Westwood, all students, athletes and non-athletes have the opportunity to maximize the results of their strength training efforts, due to the availability of highly skilled, knowledgeable, and certified strength coaches, says Harold Crenshaw, principal. The program now goes to the teacher s union, Mesa Educational Association, and the school board for consideration of permanent placement on the salary schedule. We are hopeful that the program will continue to serve our students, athletes, faculty, and staff and serve as a model for other high school strength coaches.<br>If you would like more information on the Mesa Strength Coaches proposal and program, you may contact either Walt Sword or Bob Jennings at Westwood High School. You may also contact Jerry Wheeler, at Mountain View, Doug Larish, at Mesa High, Mark Swartz, at Skyline, Steve Cerqua, at Red Mountain, or Steve Hogen, district athletic director for more information. <br> We are very excited about the strength coaching positions at our high schools, says Hogen.

"I've got 22 years in," says Stanford. "I'm not going to coach forever, but I'm happy where I am and I'm pleased with what we're doing. When I do retire, I'll finish here at Louisville.".
