PLYOMETRICS:</STRONG></DIV> <DIV align=center>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV align=left>There are three levels of ploymetrics that help jumping power.&nbsp;First is lower level drills of skipping, hopping and jumping drills with no accessory apparatus.&nbsp; Second is medium level drills using some form of apparatus, starting and ending with feet on the ground.&nbsp; The third level is Plyometric Box Jumping.&nbsp; We start with low intensity Box Jumping drills that&nbsp;any high school athlete can perform.&nbsp; Our drills increase in intensity and skill but over half of our nation's high school&nbsp;athletes can complete all of our drills in the first week.&nbsp; </DIV> <DIV align=left>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV align=left>At BFS clinics where Plyometric Box Jumping is included, we select about ten athletes to demonstrate.&nbsp; We always try to choose a wide variety of size and skill in these athletes.&nbsp; They stretch well and then give each athlete three Vertical Jump attempts on our "Just Jump" measuring device and three&nbsp;Standing Long Jumps.&nbsp; These attempts are recorded.&nbsp; Next, the ten athletes go through the BFS Box Jumping routine.&nbsp; What do you think happens when we retest?&nbsp; You guessed it.&nbsp; Nine out of ten make significant improvements.&nbsp; </DIV> <DIV align=left>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV align=left>I know there are some strength and conditioning coaches who believe plyometrics are a waste of time.&nbsp; Those coaches and athletes who go through a Box Jumping routine at a BFS Clinic would be amused at such a philosophy.</DIV> <DIV align=left>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV align=center><STRONG>IV.&nbsp;MEASUREMENT:</STRONG>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV align=center>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV align=left>I believe in measuring the Vertical Jump and Standing Long Jump once or twice a month.&nbsp; This is especially true at the high school level.&nbsp; I have two reasons:&nbsp; First, is that sheer practice will help an athlete learn jumping skills.&nbsp; Second, an athlete needs to have this feed back for motivation.&nbsp; If he/she is working hard on strength, flexibility and ploymetric drills, frequent feedback will demonstrate that all the hard work is paying off.&nbsp; A jump increase of one or two inches can be rejuvenating and keep your championship vision alive.&nbsp; </DIV> <DIV align=left>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV align=left>I highly recommend our "Just Jump and Run".&nbsp; You can get a highly accurate Vertical Jump measurement about once every five seconds.&nbsp; All you have to do is read the result.&nbsp; Kids can even test kids.&nbsp; The "Just Jump and Run" can certainly stimulate a lot of interest in jumping and it's a whole lot of fun.</DIV> <DIV align=left><STRONG>&nbsp;</STRONG></DIV> <DIV align=left>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV align=left>&nbsp;</DIV>losing 7-6 at the half in what would be a classic playoff game.&nbsp; At half-time, our captain, Daryn Plummer came over to me to ask if he could speak to the team.&nbsp; I agreed and Daryn spoke to the team about our theme of "Team First" in 96 and about what it had taken for us to get this far.&nbsp; He reminded the players about the off-season and summer BFS program as well as our week in the Poconos.&nbsp; There was no real discussion of X's and O's.&nbsp; We went ahead 13-7 in the third quarter after Nick Solomon, a junior running back, ran from 20 yards following a forced poor punt.&nbsp; Nick is 5'8" 185 pounds and has a 400 Parallel Sq
