In 2009 we were granted permission to change the location of the schools weight room. The space we took over was the former Wrestling Room as well as an adjunct area for the schools grounds and maintenance crew. With the help of the students, teams, coaches and parents we have made tremendous progress in just over a year. Coach Stacey Middle Brook donated funds to help get new dumbbells, and suspension trainers this summer. We are excited to have installed the new Power Rack System funded by the Wolverine Football Club. We are uniquely outfitted to optimize the 1500 sq.ft. “Workshop”. With six squat / bench press stations and 38 pull up bars we can help teams do more work in less time. Our objective is to keep the teams focused on performance, and building team unity while maintaining a safe environment. We can even move the equipment quickly to finish the workout with a few rounds of Pirate Yoga. Most high school programs try to emulate the big college programs and end up with equipment that takes up too much room and doesn’t always best serve the athletic departments needs. Our outdoor area “The Yard” is also 1500 sq.ft. and gives us additional space to do agility work, plyometrics, core training, as well as the option to spread out the equipment for team circuits. Other developments for the Football program include a new office to better handle the duties of a large staff, heavy video review, as well as coach, team, and Booster Club meetings. Coach Kurt Westling installed a projector to in the “Workshop” to show film, inspirations videos, display team strength records, and do video analysis of lifts like Squats, and the Clean and Jerk. Thanks again to everyone who has helped support the program and Coach Joshua Aycock as we set our sights Wolverine Athletic Excellence.
