Gym Etiquette For High-Schoolers

[JohnnyCoho]

WORD!!!... SYNPAX,

Already ran into that one when we discussed puttin them on a weight training program. (Made me pretty angry, they got extra stairs for that one. Somthin' funny on that too that back fired on me, gave the old, There's no "I" in team thing and got a smart ass reply that I had to laugh at, "Yeah but there's an "M" & an "E".)

i am a teen, and i must say, my peers have no knowledge of any form whatsoever. it must be stressed and restressed (is that a word? )

oh, a good one, imho anyway:

you're in there to improve athletic performance, please the chicks can wait.

Holy Hormones Batman!!! I give you credit, my friend. In highschool I had to master the art of using my shirt to cover my hard-on thanks to the fact that if a girl looked at me I nearly blew my load.

you are there to train- NOT to check out the hot women in the tight lycra.

man... every high schooler needs to get laid... and quickly. because it fucks with their minds. and then once you get laid it's not so bad anymore, you have space to think of other stuff too.

Nice thing being a coach and not a teacher is dicipline can and does get dished out (stairs, wind sprints, push-ups, ect.) Kids I am training show a great deal of respect and will listen. Many are nationally ranked wrestlers.

Kids will also be in one area only at a time and will be trained from lowest weight class to highest. Each getting a turn with 3 coaches spotting and giving instruction.

OK,..so rules so far;

THE GOLDEN RULE!! I am the Coach, this is my gym; you will listen or simply be asked to leave and not return. You are here to represent our team and will do so proudly!!

1. You are here to train and not socialize! This is not fun time, its just like practice, except here you can seriously get injured if you do not listen.

2. There will be no unconstructive criticism, banter, joking around, unsolicited advice etc.

3. While wating for your turn you will sit and only offer encouragement to your fellow team mates. Pay attention to how the lift is performed and watch and listen to the other coaches as they spot each excercise.

4. Form before weight ! Quality, not quantity.

5. Treat the equipment with respect! Put weights away after using them and wipe down and disinfect equipment after use.

OK,...MORE!!

BE RESTPECTFUL OF OTHERS IN THE GYM.

work on form.

if your not serious, go home!

Please, keep it basic for them. They wont like/handle a bunch of rules. As long as you are willing to work with them, they should be willing to accept your help.

no horseplay
no jewelry
give 11 effort. ie if rep 10 was easy, you better finish off with another.
do not sit on equipment you are not using
minor grunting is fine on your last few hard reps; it is not okay for each of your fifteen warm-up sets.
Do not position yourself between the mirror and someone working out
