We divide into groups and do core lifts, auxiliaries and agilities. About once a week I take the group on agilities and do our testing.<br> With about 5-10 minutes remaining in class I bring everyone together to work as a group on various things like medicine balls, walking lunges, sprint technique, starts, jumping plyos, etc.<br><br>Is testing an important part of your class?<br><br>I truly am committed to testing athletes on a regular basis. This not only motivates the athletes by showing progress, but can be a part of training. Kids give their best when their performance is measured. We test in the Vertical Jump, Standing Long Jump, 20, 40, Dot Drill, Steeler Drill (an agility drill) and 30 second Jump Rope. The kids love to test and when they achieve their best ever, you know it makes their day.<br><br>How did the kids end up doing?<br><br>The gains made in the class were outstanding. It is great to see talented kids get better and better, but maybe the most exciting thing is to see those kids who can t do much as far as controlling and moving their bodies turn into strong, quick, flexible athletes. I can t help but shake my head and say,  Wow!

Corey was awarded the American Legion Outstanding 8th Grade Boy at Morenci Middle School. He also received an award for outstanding character. Corey is truly an Eleven. e there any problems related to the age at which an athlete begins lifting twice a day? <br><br>Schnorf: An athlete who starts such frequent training younger has a big advantage over an athlete who begins at a later age, especially in terms of how the body handles it and frequently in how the mind handles it. One of the problems with older lifters trying to train this frequently is that they have a lot more stress and personal obligations and may not have the ability to focus like a kid who doesn t have all those pressures.<br><br>BFS: You have a reputation for pushing your athletes through brutally hard training sessions. Is that true?<br><br>Schnorf: At the 1979 Friendship Cup in Russia, Stewart lifted well while the other US lifters didn t lift very well. On the plane back someone asked Stewart why the pressure didn t seem to bother him, and he said,  I have more pressure on me every day in the gym than I ever had in ussia. My philosophy is to put my athletes under a lot of pressure in t]ʓAɨ xr]Z5ĿSHn!
