One of the areas our Athletes and Coaches struggle with is having equipment for our Athletes to workout with. All of our Athletics programs are considered clubs which means funds are either out-of-pocket, raised with fundraisers, through donations, and raised with Athletic fees from the students. Many of our students cannot afford a Gym Membership on top of Athletic Fees and depend on their Coaches and School to help provide their exercise needs. Since there is no Budget from the school for these items, the school cannot afford to provide these items. Our Athletes compete with many top level schools but the difference isn't in their ability but the lack of tools they have around them to increase their ability further. Having our own weight set would be a great start into providing the tools our athletes need increase their ability as well as giving them a sense of pride in their school and their sport that they are participating in.
Utilizing this weight set not only increases an athletes ability to perform but is a vital safety issue to help protect themselves from injury or the possibility of an injury.
