Plainfield South used to offer just one section of weight training during the school day.
“We now have 7 weight training sections and hope to have 10-12 by next year. Getting everyone on the same page has taken work, but it is paying off in a big way.”

The best way to get the most out of someone is to make them feel secure enough where they can take risks and fail.
