Waldwick/Midland Park Head Coach Greg Gruzdis

Gruzdis Has Brought Around Waldwick, Midland Park Football By Edward Kensik WA L D W I C K / M I D L A N D PARK — You could possibly say that the Waldwick/Midland Park football team would never had been playing earlier this month in a state title game.

able to find a high school football head coaching job, decided to be an assistant for then Waldwick/Midland Park head coach Jim Cleary in 2010. And for Gruzdis it was like oil and vinegar at Waldwick/Midland Park in his season as an assistant coach so he tendered his resignation. About a week later, Cleary decided to resign and Gruzdis received a call from Waldwick Athletic Director Mike Clancy asking if he would like to apply for the head coaching job. And the rest they say is history. Before Gruzdis took over, Waldwick had been 11-29 in the four seasons and before the state playoff game Gruzdis’ four seasons have been 25-16, pretty much a 180 degree turnaround including a 9-2 record before the Group 2 North 1 state final game. Amazing considering that Waldwick has always been

known as a soccer town. “Greg has done a great job with these kids over the past 4 seasons,” said Clancy. “Coach Gruz models great character, work ethic, and leadership skills that all the kids in the program will be able to take with them when they leave. I firmly believe that the strong relationships that he has built with his team and the bond the athletes have formed with each other is a major reason why this program is having such great success.” Gruzdis knew there was potential in the program, but it would not be done overnight. “It was going to be a challenge and knew that we had to start from square one,” said Gruzdis. “I knew it was going to take a couple of years and hard work.” Gruzdis attributes to the program’s success to get the word out especially bringing in Midland Park High School students as part of the co-op program that started about a decade ago. “What I liked was the coop,” said Gruzdis. “When I had gotten there, everybody was still getting use to it and there was definitely potential.” And since Gruzdis took over in 2010, the numbers have more than doubled in the football programs especially from the Midland Park students. When he took it over, there were very few Midland Park players in the program, but for the 2013, they compromise a little more than half the entire co-op program. “I think the word got out especially after the first year,” said

Gruzdis. One of the areas that has taken a while to get going, but is finally blossoming is the offense, a version of the Wing-T that is not strictly running. “We started with 40 percent of our offensive package in the first year and year-byyear we’ve been adding,” said Gruzdis. And in the first 11 games of the season, Waldwick/Midland Park accumulated 448 points or almost 41 points a game along with 3,678 yards for the season or 335 per game. More importantly the Warriors/Panthers squad has not coughed up the ball, only five times during the season, a key to the big season, amazing considering their long drives. Against Glen Rock in the 48-0 victory in the first round, Waldwick/Midland Park went on a drive of 17 plays-87 yards for a touchdown. “We’re going to have long drives and expect to get four yards on every down,” said Gruzdis. Junior running back Tyree Lee has led the multiple attack offense with 100 rushing attempts for 877 yards on the ground. And Waldwick has shown that they are not a one-dimensional offense as senior quarterback Evan Pagliei has thrown for 888 yards in the air and 11 touchdown passes. He also has also run for nine touchdowns. Junior running back Nick Dragonetti, junior Ron Kruis and senior Luke Jimenez also have contributed to the 2013 offense.

But offense is not the lone plus, the Warriors/Panthers have had a hard rock defense especially in the playoffs, allowing only one touchdown to North Warren in the semi-finals, 39-7 win. The defense is led by junior linebacker Jeremy Zaukas, senior linebacker Shane Hurley along with defensive linemen seniors Jack Hansen and Jimmy Serafin. For Gruzdis he said the turning point for the season came in a loss, 39-7, at Hasbrouck Heights in the seventh week. “That was the only game that we were blown away,” said Gruzdis. “It was a real opener for the kids and it came right in the middle of the season.” Since that game on October 25, the Waldwick/Midland Park coaching staff made some changes and they never looked back with four straight wins as they outscored their opponents, 190-28. Gruzdis came to Waldwick after a time at Hanover Park High School where he was special teams, quarterback and run-

Instead of taking a year off from coaching, he decided to take a post at Waldwick. “I did not want to sit out the year,” said Gruzdis. “I just wanted to keep coaching.” Most of his coaching career was spent at West Morris Central High School where he spent

While attending William Paterson University, he started as an assistant coach and freshman coach at the West Morris Central High School that was run by current River Dell Athletic Director Denis Nelson, who is his brother-in-law. And Gruzdis holds the distinction of being on the final football team at Ramapo College that cancelled the program during the 1990s.

ball team. McMahon enrolled at SRDS as a junior in 2012, and has been an instrumental part of the athletic program’s growth and success. “I am thrilled for Isabel and her acceptance to West Point,” said Danny Brown, the Rebels

Athletic Director, who explained that McMahon’s presence on both the playing field and in the classroom exemplifies her commitment to positive leadership and hard work. “She is not only one of the most talented and hard working members of our basketball team, but she is

also an invaluable member of the girls’ lacrosse team and the girls tennis team,” he said. McMahon helped lead the tennis team through an undefeated season this past fall. “SRDS has done a lot for me, and I am not sure I will ever be able to give back all that it has done to prepare me for West Point,” said McMahon. When asked why she chose West Point, McMahon responded, “There were a lot of factors in my decision. It provides an incredible future and it also has many of the elements of a school that are important to me, like a strong community and sense of tradition, but above all else I am proud to serve my country.” Izzy will begin at West Point in the fall of 2014 and plans to continue her academic interest in criminal justice. She will leave an indelible impression upon the community and an unforgettable legacy upon the athletic program at SRDS. page 5

“By the end of my freshman season as a second baseman at Ramapo High School I knew that if I wanted to compete with the best I’d need the best training possible. My hitting instructor Dan Gilligan recommended Paramount Fitness and Rob Kehoe to improve my strength and agility. Rob evaluated my performance level, designed a personal one-on-one program specifically for my needs. In 6 months I went from throwing a consistent 67 MPH to throwing a consistent 81 MPH. Rob even showed me where I could benefit nutritionally which was a huge plus. The differences I made physically from freshman year up until now is incredible and I have Paramount Fitness to thank for that.”

“Before I trained with Paramount Fitness, my fastball topped out at 75 MPH, my swing was slow, and my 60 yard dash was 7.91. Less than a year later, I am consistently throwing 85 MPH, my bat speed has increased tremendously with my batting average improving to .543 and I improved my 60 yard dash to a 7.32. Paramount has also gotten my basketball team ready last year and was the foundation to our State Sectional Championship. Paramount made me a better player and has gotten me ready for a strong senior year and to play at the next level.”

“My freshman year I pitched on the freshman team but only had a few starts. I went to Paramount following the season and trained with Rob Kehoe. After one year with Rob, I cracked the starting rotation for varsity as a sophomore and gained 8 MPH on my fastball since training with Paramount.”

“I have gained massive improvements since training with Para-mount Fitness and Performance. I went from not seeing the field to being Waldwick’s Varsity leadoff man, with a .500 batting average and was perfect in 18 stolen base attempts.”

“I definitely would not be in the spot I am currently in if it wasn’t for Paramount Fitness. Rob & his training methods have gotten me faster, stronger and have helped me grow as a person. A little over a year of consistent training and my fastball has spiked from 74 to 86 MPH and I officially committed to Catholic University Class of 2018.”

Green Knights Rank as Garden State’s Best; Pascack Valley Turns in Winning Performance By Dennis Wilson Despite a blemish inflicted on Thanksgiving by Don Bosco Prep, head coach Tony Karcich’s St. Joseph Regional/Montvale squad proved they are the No. 1 team in the Garden State by dismantling a talented Pope John (Sparta) squad 62-14 on Saturday in the Meadowlands. Exploding to a 42-7 advantage by the halftime break, the outcome was never in doubt as the Green Knights three-peated and claimed their 17th championship banner in the NJSIAA Group III championships. St. Joe’s winning total of 62 points is the most ever in any state tourney title game, eclipsing the 58 points scored by Neptune in 1998. The Green Knight’s offensive unit recorded 492 yards of total offense as quarterback Spencer Aukamp was 13 for 22 through the air for 244 yards and four touchdowns while Sherman Alston led the ground attack, churning out 118 of the team’s 248 yards on 19 touches behind the workhorses in the trenches, Tommy Hatson, James McNerney, Alex Otero, Austin Stapleton and Kevin Wilkins. Defensively, the Green Knight anchored by Austin Bodrato, Conrad Fitzpatrick, Mark Fossati, Anthony Paoiello and William Rivers forced eight turnovers, six of which came in the first half. The editor@sportsÞtnesswellness.com

stage was set on the first play of the game when Fossati picked off an interception. Pascack Valley’s earned their first State Title since 1990 with a win over Paramus 328 claiming the North Jersey, Section 1, Group 4 title at MetLife Stadium. Valley has been knocking at the door for the past several years including last year when they lost in the championship game. Special teams played a key role in the victory for the Indians. Ricky Tiburcio forced a fumble after a punt that Brendan Morrissey recovered. It set up a Jake Morra’s score from 2 yards, and Rocco Swatek blocked a punt on Paramus’ next drive which also led to a touchdown. “We’ve been working on the punt block,” Pascack Valley coach Craig Nielsen said. “We had two weeks to prepare for that. We worked really hard on it.” “Watching them on film all year, they’ve been a momentum team,” Paramus coach Dan Sabella said. “Since they’ve gotten on their roll, it’s been about getting off to good starts and that was something we talked about. Shame on us for letting it happen because we played right into their hand and we have to give them credit for that. Paramus Catholic repeated as the NJSIAA Non-Public Group IV, producing a 13-6 victory over St. Peter’s Prep (Jersey City) at Giants Stadium on

Friday evening in the Meadowlands. The Hudson County perennial powerhouse got on the board in the first quarter and led 6-0 before Paladin senior quarterback Steve Shanley connected with junior wide receiver Najee Clayton on a 32-yard touchdown pass. Dan Conte split the uprights with the PAT conversion to give the Paladins a 7-6 lead at halftime. Shanley added a 13 yard TD aerial to Tyrone Washington in the third quarter to make the final scored margin seven points. Defensively, the key play came in the third quarter when junior linebacker Trey Gethers recovered a fumble. The Paladins defeated Notre Dame 5514 in the first round and ousted Don Bosco Prep 21-20 in the semifinals. DePaul defeated previously undefeated and defending champion Holy Spirit (Absecon) 35-16 on Sunday in the NJSIAA Non-Public Group II final at Rutgers University in Piscataway. Markey Clark, Zach Bednarczyk and Kareem Walker fueled a powerful offense that captured the Spartans third over state title but first since 1992 while snapping Holy Spirit’s run of three straight state titles. Bednarczyk completed 10 of 13 aerial attempts for 136 yards and one touchdown Linemen Andrew Fallice, Mike Kelly, Kareem Barber, Nick Jachera, Nico Aronson and Dylan Krupinski opened up the holes for

a running game that churned out 293 yards as Clark toted the pigskin 13 times for 108 yards and Walker gained 75 yards on 13 carries while scoring a TD. Courtel Jenkins and Riley Clark led the Spartans’ “D” unit with Jenkins registering a team-high eight tackles and Clark picking off two interceptions. Kwadir Brown shipped in with seven tackles, Amir Arrington recorded six solo hits and Mike Kelly chipped in with a pair of sacks. Pompton Lakes jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the opening quarter and claimed the NJSIAA North Jersey Section I, Group I championship banner with a 20-14 triumph over Hasbrouck Heights. Cardinals’ signal caller tossed a 32-yard touchdown pass to Cory Flynn and added a 30yard TD strike Drew Rayford in the first quarter and flipped a 28-yard scoring strike to Rayford in the third quarter as Pompton Lakes led 20-0 before the Aviators found the end zone. Darren Iurato raced 10 yards into the end zone with 38 seconds remaining in the third quarter. Senior running back Mike Incremona cut the deficit to six points when he bolted two yards over the goal line with 1:08 left on the clock.

up in a mound of players to lock up the championship for Pompton Lakes. Westwood captured the NJSIAA North Jersey Section 1, Group plaque with a 26-7 victory over the combined Waldwick/Midland Park program. Senior quarterback Greg Carmilani, who will continue his academic/athletic career at prestigious Amherst College in the NCAA Division III New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC), ignited the attack by hooking up with Nolan Borgerson on a 91-yard TD bomb 3:28 into the opening quarter. Carmilani raced one yard into the end zone and followed with a two-point conversion pass to Borgerson to give Westwood a

For the fourth straight year, St. Joseph (Hammonton) and St. Mary (Rutherford) met in the championship game of the Non-Public Group I bracket. The Wildwood team once again came away the champion, posting a 33-13 victory. Trailing 19-0 in the third quarter, junior James Van Allen recovered a fumble on the Gales’ 24-yard line which ignited a five-play, 74-yard drive ending with Michael Polankay hauling in a 34-yard TD pass from Keon Banks.

tackles, four for losses, had a sack and forced a fumble. Sparta routed River Dell 40-0 in the Section 1, Group III final while Ridgewood was blanked 33-0 by perennial power Montclair in the Section 1, Group V championship contest. SEMI-FINAL SIDELIGHTS Hasbrouck Heights advanced to the title game by pulling out a 28-26 victory over Cedar Grove as the Aviator avenged a 27-24 loss to the Essex County team in last year’s semifinals. Maura Altamuro excelled on defense for Hasbrouck Heights as registered three quarterback sacks in the third quarter. Head coach Nick Delcalzo opted to go for a fourth and four with the ball on the Heights’ 46 and 1:06 remaining on the game clock. Iurato rolled right and threw only his second pass of the game, a 14-yard strike to junior fullback Steven Salerno coming out of the backfield locking up the ticket to the championships. Westwood’s attack was explosive, scoring on all seven first-

half possessions in building a 50-7 advantage by halftime. Senior quarterback Craig Camiliani completed 16 of 22 passes for 324 yards and TD strikes of 47, 80, 10 and four yards. Ron Kruis’ performance in spurring the combined Waldwick/Midland Park squad to a 39-7 triumph over North Warren was a throw-back effort to the 1950s when all players, high school, college and pro, went both ways. The junior RB/CB/RS gained 56 yards rushing on nine carries, one of which went tothe end zone for 14 yards, grabbed a pair of passes for 53 yards, recovered a fumble and returned two punts, 109 yards including a 75-yard TD return. Trailing 16-14 with 34 seconds remaining on the game clock, senior Matt Alpher split the uprights from 24 yards booting Paramus into its first championship game after losing in the semifinals five times in the last six years.

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS SOCCER

Owls Claim First Soccer Sectional Title By Bryan Wasyluk For the first time, a boys’ varsity soccer program at Park Ridge captured an NJSIAA North Jersey, Section 1, Group I boys’ soccer championship banner. Fourth-seeded, the Owls blanked second seeded Wallington 2-0 on the Panthers’ home turf to enjoy the thrill of a sectional victor for the first time. After three years of Wallington closing out the Owls season with a defeat, 14 Park Ridge seniors recorded the most significant “W” of their careers, creating memories for future Class of 2014 reunions over the next 50 plus years. It started in the 25th minute when senior Eric Luther spotted Zach Lucanie unguarded in the box where he shuffled the ball to Lucanie who re-directed into the gamewinning goal. “Scoring the first goal of the game was huge,” stated Luther

who added, “It loosed us up and got us in a relaxed groove after playing nervous for the first10 minutes.” At the 52nd minute, Luther netted an insurance tally and the beginning of the season-ending losing to Wallington was being written in the books. Keeper Joey Pigot stopped eight shots on goal to record his fourth straight shutout of the playoffs with outstanding support on the back line from Mike Raia and Ryan Sweeney. Park Ridge’s dream of the Group I state title ended when Brealry Regional blanked the Owls in the Group I semifinals played in Oakland. The Owls and Bears were on even terms for the first 25 minutes as the scoreboard read 0-0 when senior goalie Pigot was injured making a save, removed from the contest and transported to a local hospital for examination. Northern Highlands claimed the NJSIAA North Jersey, Section 1, Group III title with a 2-1

victory over Wayne Hills, the Passaic County Tournament champion, as the Highlanders won the sectional crown for the first time since 2000. Senior Cal Portnoy ended the title drought when he took a pass from Rudy Mamary and lofted a shot on goal from the left side that dropped into the upper right corner of the Patriots’ cage after 1:30 had elapsed in the first OT session to snap a 1-1 deadlock. Northern Highlands advanced to the Group III championship match contested on the campus of The College of New Jersey in Ewing. Following 100 minutes of scoreless action, the Highlanders and Allentown walked off the turf as co-Group III champions based on the NJSIAA rules on ending a title game after two overtime periods. It was the first time since 1967 that Northern Highlands competed in the championship game. Junior keeper earned credit for a shutout by stopping all eight official shots on goal.

Kyle Bissell put the Highlanders on the board 10 minutes into the title game when he redirected the rebound of a free kick by teammate Mike Park into the back of the Hills’ net. Less than three minutes later, Wayne Hills knotted the score at 1-1 when Tyler Kulcsar headed a free kick by Musa Gega into the Highlanders’ cage. The match remained deadlocked until Portnoy’s OT goal. In local rivalries, Jose Strobino scored twice and dished off an assist in spring Paramus Catholic to a 5-3 victory over Paramus. Jose Meyo posted a trick, scoring three times when the Paladins blanked Union Catholic 4-0 as keeper Halil Yenerer stopped 14 shots on goal. Wayne Hills and DePaul were deadlocked 1-1 at the end of regulation as Grant Kelly scored for the Patriots and Anthony Han netted the equalizer for the Spartans. In overtime, Wayne Hills prevailed 6-5 on penalty kicks.

HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS SOCCER

72 and Counting... Ranked #2 in the Nation By Jessica Quas Extending its unbeaten streak to 72, Northern Highlands completed its 2013 campaign winning its third straight NJSIAA Group III girls’ soccer championship under head coach Tara Madigan and posted a 23-0-1 record. Casey Richards and Clare Shea provided the offensive fire power at The College of New Jersey of New Jersey in Ewing. Northern Highlands finished the 2013 season as the No. 2 team in the National Soccer Coaches Association poll. Richards, a sophomore center midfielder, netted the gamewinning goal five minutes into the game when she controlled a throw-in from Sarah Kelly and drilled the ball into the right corner of the Toms River South cage for a 1-0 lead the Lady Highlanders would never surrender. Though Northern Highland dominated the ac-

tion, keeping the ball at the TRS end of the field most of the first half, the score remained 1-0 at the halftime break. Shea, a senior midfielder, added an insurance tally in the 49th minute. TRS knocked down Ariel Somple, an outside midfielder, and set the stage for Shea to launch a penalty shot that she drilled to the right side of the net, catching the net when it was deflected off the hands of TRS frosh goalie Taylor Dean. “I was a little nervous,: said Shea, “because there was time to think about the situation since Hana (Kerner) had been injured.” In Northern Highlands 4-1 triumph over Lakeland Regional in the sectional semifinals, Shea posted a hat trick performance, netting three goals while Richards dished off a pair of assists. IHA, ranked No. 26 in the final national poll, dropped a 1-0 decision to Bishop Ahr in the finals of the NJSIAA Non-Public A Division championship game.

Sophomore forward Julian Vassalo netted the only goal early in the second half as Bishop Ahr earned its first group state championship in program history. For IHA, it was another heartbreaking finish after losing to Pingry, 1-0, in the group final last year. Ramsey captured its second NJSIAA North Jersey, Division 1, Group II sectional soccer title in the last three years defeating Paskcack Valley. The Rams allowed just one goal in 355 minutes of play during the four state tournament games, including two that went into double overtime. Molly Barrow, who started the year sharing

time between the posts, took over as the full-time starter and has been a major asset on the back line. Others who stepped up defensively are freshmen Maddie Barrow and Meredith Edwards, and juniors Skyler Rybacki and Anna Jensen. Action in the early rounds of the state sectionals produced low-scoring games as befits matchups between quality squads. Pascack Valley’s 3-0 victory over Lodi was highlighted by Brianna Musco’s 100th career goal and a pair of assists on goals scored by Amanda Tosi and Molly Villafranco. Victoria Barris supplied the only goal in Hasbrouck Heights 1-0 triumph of Butler while keeper Diana Torres was credited with 10 saves. Ramsey’s 1-0 success over Pequannock was made possible with Kelly Redl’s second half tally off an assist from Nicole Moore and keeper’s Nicole Barrow’s six saves. Eastern Christian’s Erin VanderPlaat, a freshman, registered a hat trick, scoring all three goals when the Eagles ousted Queen of Peace 3-1 in the North Non-Public B Division semifinals. Melissa Kelly recorded a hat trick, netting three goals in spurring DePaul to a 7-1 rout of Kent Place in the Non-Public A Division semifinals. Her teammate Laura Kachidurian scored twice and distributed three assists. Goalie Mia Pagano stopped five shots to post the shut out as Park Ridge blanked Belvidere 3-0 on a pair of goals by Mikaela Hayboer and a solo goal supplied by Shayna Bohus. Sabrna Sarni netted two goals and Meghan Griffin provided a goal and two assists as top-seeded Wayne Hills defeated Montville 4-1. Emily Jordan scored a goal and assisted on a tally by Lauren Himpele as sixth-seeded Mahwah ousted No. 3 Ramapo 2-1 as keeper Emily Santos stopped 13 shots on goal. New Milford went to overtime pulling out a 4-3 victory over Pompton Lakes as Cydney Borner scored twice with Alexa Monroy and Carolyn Uribe adding solo goals. page 13

Rome Was Not Built in a Day – and Neither Are High School Athletes!

Consistency is a crucial element in a young athlete’s development. It takes great systematic care and preparation to achieve the optimal levels of strength, power, and conditioning needed by an athlete to successfully launch into their season, and maintain high performance throughout their season while minimizing their risk of athletic injury. The key is following a safe, effective and progressive training program that strengthens weaknesses, while making the most of an individual’s athleticism. This doesn’t just “happen”, and certainly not overnight. It is developed over time with great effort and attention to detail. I am always amazed to see how many high school kids do little to nothing all off-season, only to show up first day of tryouts and expect to be in top form. It just doesn’t happen! I have worked with countless golfers, for example, who do nothing all winter, and expect to “prepare” to play on the first warm day of Spring, by going out and hitting 100 balls at the driving range. They, of course, end up regretting their idle Winter the next few days when they are too sore to button up their shirt. Worse yet, they don’t reach in-season form until mid-season, thus wasting the first few weeks of competition with lackluster performances and aching muscles. Even those athletes who do follow an off-season training program, often “improvise” and lose focus along the way, slowing their progress and never achieving their peak performance potential. They take 5 steps forward with a great training program, only to take 2 steps back by eating poorly and not recuperating properly, staying out late evenings partying with their buddies.

It is essential for athletes at this and any level to set goals and follow their desired path to achieving those goals. It won’t happen overnight, but careful and methodical focus and

positive behaviors will help an athlete reach their athletic potential. When measuring success on the athletic field, slow, steady and consistent preparation wins the race.

Neal Pire, MA, CSCS, FACSM is a Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine. He is the author of Plyometrics for Athletes at All Levels, and serves as Director of Athletic Performance Training at Volt Fitness in Glen Rock, NJ, where he has launched PUSH, a unique athletic performance training program for young athletes.

PUSH Program – Athlete of the Month Glen Rock High School Junior and football player, Alex Evans, is this December’s PUSH Program Athlete of the Month. Alex has been the picture of consistency, working year-round at Volt Fitness with PUSH Head Trainer, Jon Marciani. “I really enjoy working out at VOLT Fitness with Jon,” explained Alex, “Not only does he push me to my physical and mental limits, but we’ve also developed a friendship, as he does with all of his clients. He knows how to work with athletes, and he has helped me become stronger, faster, and overall more conÞdent in my athletic abilities since I started the program.” Alex has devoted tremendous time and effort to improve his athleticism and achieve success on the football Þeld, earning 2nd Team all-League honors in the NJIC Colonial Division. His father, Mark, credits Alex’s consistent devotion to his training program, “Jon did a tremendous job preparing Alex for the 2013 football season. He was able to build muscle mass and endurance while improving

Alex’ overall speed and cardiovascular conditioning. He deÞnitely is skilled at targeting muscle groups speciÞc to the positions Alex plays. I am also impressed with Jon’s knowledge of proper nutrition for athletes and what he has

taught Alex about eating right while training and during the season. There’s no doubt that Jon works him hard, but he always has fun too! Alex is already looking forward to preparing for next season.”

Athlete Profile:

CARLEEN JEFFERS Ridgewood High School Junior Contributed by Phil Ross

You may have read about her 2013 1st Team All Bergen County Selection, her 3rd Place in the Bergen County Meet of Champions, 4th in the State Sections and 7th Place in the State Groups. You may not know some other facts about the High Honor Roll Student (4.2 GPA) who plays 5 instruments and travels once a week to play in NYC at the Manhattan School of Music and also earned First Chair honors 2 years in a row for the NJ Regional Orchestra. Carleen is also a champion Martial Artist and has been practicing the Martial Arts for more than 8 years. Sit back and enjoy the interview of this very special Student-Athlete-Musician and see how she has achieved such high levels of success and what drives her to be The BEST! Q: You have had an incredible Cross Country Season. It’s the Þrst time that you decided to run Cross Country, what compelled you to try it? A: I’ve always had a love for athletics and competition. For some reason I never considered cross country until last June, when I ran in a 5 mile road race with my dad. It was the Þrst time I had ever run distance, and I ended up doing pretty well (under 7 minute miles). Not only was I proud of my time, but I realized that I genuinely enjoyed running in the race and pushing my body to its limits. With this in mind, I decided to give cross country a try, and I’m deÞnitely glad that I did! Q: What other sports did you compete in at the High School Varsity Level? A: I’ve played varsity softball in High School. I played third base and I caught a bit. Q: What was your Þrst meet like? Were you nervous? Did you have any idea of what to expect? A: My Þrst meet was the most terrifying experience I have ever had. I was insanely nervous that I would fail to live up to the expectations of my coach, my teammates, and most importantly, myself. I was just hoping to run faster than a 25:00, which would be equivalent to about an 8 minute mile. In that Þrst meet, I ran a 20:01, a time which was good enough to win me Þrst place, and one which I was incredibly happy with (it ended up being

my slowest time of the season at that course). After completing my Þrst meet, I really fell in love with the sport of cross country. Q: There are many track athletes who have worked for years and years trying to achieve what you did in one season. How were you able to accomplish so much in such a short time? A: I believe the key to my success in cross country to be the pure joy I experience in running. I have participated in numerous sports in my past, including softball, basketball, baseball, and even Þgure skating; however, none of these gave me the incredible feeling I get when running a race. Due to my love for the sport, I have been able not only to work extremely hard at improving my times, but also to genuinely enjoy doing so. If you love what you do, you never have to work a day in your life. In addition, I have had the privilege of working with some great coaches who really know how to bring out the best in their athletes, including the Ridgewood High School Cross Country coach, Jacob Brown, as well as my Martial Arts and Kettlebells coach, Master Phil Ross. Q: What role does your Martial Arts and Kettlebell training play in your success? A: I can’t even begin to describe how important both Martial Arts and Kettlebell training have been to me throughout not only this cross country season, but also my life. I began Martial Arts at the age of 7; it taught me the discipline and respect that I feel is crucial to be success-

Carleen Jeffers, Ridgewood High School Junior

ful at any physically demanding sport. It has also helped with my athleticism and self conÞdence. While Martial Arts have been a part of my life for many years, Kettlebell training is new to me. Although I have only been involved in Kettlebell training for a few (5) months, it has already boosted my mental and physical strength immensely. I can feel my body getting stronger every day, and these beneÞts become tangible when I am able to go up in weight for a certain Kettlebell exercise. Additionally, Kettlebells have increased my pain tolerance, which is crucial when a cross country 5K starts to take its toll on my body. There is absolutely no way I would have come anywhere near the type of season that I’ve had if it weren’t for my Martial Arts and Kettlebell training! Q: What is your daily/weekly training regiment? A: During the Cross Country season, I kept my weekly mileage up around 50-55. This included some days of long runs (10-12 miles), some days of speed training (4-5 miles), and some days of hills workouts (56 miles). I also made sure to take one rest day a week from running; on this day I would do other activities, such as Kettlebells or Martial Arts, and give my legs a rest. Apart from running, I do Kettlebell classes at American Eagle MMA 3-4 times a week, and take Martial Arts classes whenever I can. These include boxing, MMA, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes.

Q: What are your goals for Track in High School? College? A: As far as my goals for Track in high school, I look forward to a healthy and successful senior year season. I would love to compete at nationals next year among the best in the country. Just to be in the presence of these high level athletes would be a great honor for me. Looking forward to college, I will deÞnitely look to be on a competitive cross country team. This year, running has become a tremendous part of my life, and one that I see myself continuing into college and hopefully beyond. Q: What does the future hold in store for Carleen Jeffers? A: Who knows! As I am still only a junior in high school, I don’t have anything Þgured out yet. For now, I will just focus on being the best athlete, student, musician, and friend that I can be, and I guess we’ll see where that takes me! Q: Thank you for your time and your responses. Do you have any advice for future athletes in their Quest to be the Best? A: Find your “why”. Discover your inspiration; determine what pushes you to want to be the best. Once you know why you’re dedicating your life to your sport, training every day will not seem to be a chore, but rather simply another step closer to your ultimate goal. Thank you Master Phil Ross for everything you’ve done!!!

Is Your Training Program Complete? Contributed by Nunzio Signore (B.A, NASM, PES, CES) owner and operator of Rockland Peak Performance in Sloatsburg, NY

Now that the baseball off season is here we have the gym filled with not only ball players but parents of ball players. Our most frequently asked question is “what do you guys do as far a baseball specific training?” My answer is usually “it’s not what we do, it’s what we don’t do.” Throwing a baseball is the fastest movement in all of sports. This is a huge amount of stress placed on the arm throughout a season. There are certain exercises that we believe do not belong in the program of an already taxed arm but this is a topic for another article . At RPP we view all athletes as a race car, with the coaches being the drivers and ourselves the mechanics. Our job Is to fi x postural issues, develop power, speed, and agility as well as overall strength giving the coach a faster more efficient vehicle upon returning next season. Let’s take a look at what goes into a complete strength and conditioning program like the ones we use at RPP:

ROCKLAND PEAK PERFORMANCE THE FACTORY FOR FITNESS. GET YOUR GAME ON!

1. Foam Rolling (myofascial release) : We do this at the beginning of each session to relieve knots and adhesions that develop from overuse and day to day activity. This lengthens the muscle, making it more “ßexible” thus putting less strain on the joints during athletic movement. Which helps improve point #2

2. Mobility: Teaching correct movement in the warm up teaches young athletes to move correctly and more efÞciently (a key element to help reduce the risk of injury) note: without #’s 1 and 2 the rest is an accident waiting to happen.

3. Agility: Agility is not simply moving through ladders. It is also learning how to

decelerate and stop. In most athletic situations it’s not the fastest athlete who is the quickest, it’s the athlete that can stop and change direction the quickest.

6. Speed:

4. Core:

7. Conditioning:

All movement in life is generated in the core Þrst then branching out to the limbs from there. The core needs to be able to generate power front to back, side to side, and in a rotary (turning) manner. One is severly compromised without the other.

This helps increase endurance. Conditioning is done in a manner speciÞc to the demands of the sport. (Ex. A soccer player requires more cardiovascular endurance compared to a baseball player due to the amount of time they are running continuously without stopping.)

5. Strength Training:

In most sports speed is about the Þrst 10 yards. Once power is established and running mechanics learned, speed is inevitable.

This is where most programs fall short. Strength training whether it be body weight or in a weight room is essential to generate power. Without strength there is no power. Without power there is no speed. Period.

Making sure that you or your child’s program is complete can be a true “game changer”

chicken. But some smaller studies indicate that pastured chickens may be healthier. A 2003 study by Penn State University researchers found that eggs from pastured hens have higher levels of omega 3 fatty acids and vitamins A and E. For the greatest health benefits, purchase poultry and eggs from a trusted source so you know the chickens ranged freely on pesticide-free grass.

Animal Welfare Chickens confined to shared cages inside warehouses don’t engage in their natural behaviors, such as foraging, taking dust baths and flapping their wings. If you are concerned about the amount of antibiotics fed to chickens, purchase poultry and eggs labeled with both free-range and no-antibiotic-added labels.

What is FREE RANGE? RANGE? Free-Range DeÞned The U.S. Department of Agriculture defines free-range as allowing chickens to have some access to an outside area. The definition of free-range does not include specifications on how long chickens should remain outside and under what conditions. Chickens can be outside on concrete for a short period of time each day, for example, and still be labeled as freerange in the grocery store. The labels free-range and cage-free can cause confusion. Cagefree means chickens raised for meat were not kept in cages within a warehouse. Cage-free

does not mean that chickens have access to outside areas. To ensure you’re purchasing meat and eggs from free-range chickens that foraged on grubs and plants as in a natural environment, look for indications on the packaging that the chickens were pastured, or find poultry with the “Animal Welfare Approved” label, which is handed out by a nonprofit watchdog group. Alternatively, buy from a local farmer who can guarantee the chickens ranged on pasture for a majority of each day. Health BeneÞts Reports have been mixed on health benefits of free-range

CHOOSING THE RIGHT FITNESS FACILITY Contributed by Rob Kehoe, Paramount Fitness & Performance

What can you do to assure yourself you have chosen the correct fitness facility to train with? With more options available than ever, it has become increasingly difficult to select where to train. My job in this article is to break it down and make the selection much easier for you. The day is October 17th, 2013 and one of my Boot Camp attendees has informed me that her good friend, who trains at a different gym has torn her meniscus at her particular “workout”. This was not the first time I had heard about this facility’s negligence injuring people and I’m sure it will not be the last. The one sad absolute truth in the fitness industry is that ANYONE can open a gym. It’s not similar where you have to be degreed to become a teacher or where you have to fulfill education and

training requirements to become a police officer.....no, the sad truth is anyone can open a fitness facility if they want to. With this knowledge in mind, the best thing you can do is prep yourself as best you can with the information that is available. 1) Use the internet.... Find out if your trainers are degreed in Exercise Science and certified with prestigious fitness certifi cations. If their website doesn’t point out that their trainers are degreed and certified, there is

a good chance they aren’t! 2) Contact the facility directly.... Call and ask what requirements each trainer must have. The last thing you want to do is pay a premium price for sessions just to get a college kid who is looking to make a few extra bucks training you. 3) Go for a consultation as most facilities offer a free consultation with your first visit. If you don’t perform any type of corrective stretching exercises before or after the workout, you can pretty much “X” that

place off your list. Being sore and tight for 2 weeks is not conducive towards a healthy lifestyle. If all they do during your consultation is show you around their facility, instead of focusing on you, again you can eliminate them off your list. A consultation should be focused on the needs of the client, not everything else. 4) If their facility charges extra for nutritional counseling, do they really care about you achieving your goal or are they trying to squeeze as much money out of you as possible? Little signs like this say it all. The bottom line is that if you follow these steps and rationalize every aspect of this checklist, you should wind up in a good environment with respectable trainers. There are a lot of good ones out there, but there are also a lot of bad ones too, so do your homework and you will reach your maximum potential!!

4 Winter Break Learning Ideas Contributed by Huntington Learning Center

Your child’s winter break is a good time for him or her to enjoy a vacation from the frenzied pace of the school year, but Huntington Learning Center says there are still plenty of opportunities for learning. “Holiday break is a great time for children to enjoy learning for learning’s sake,” says Laura Gehringer of Huntington Learning Center. “Encourage your child’s inner explorer. Play games that are entertaining and educational. Get creative.” Gehringer suggests several winter break learning activities: Read, read, read. Hit the library and stock up on read-

ing material—and help your child find books on topics in which he or she is interested. Remember: let your child read what he or she wants to during break, even if he or she chooses magazines or comic books. Try choosing a book together that you can read aloud as a family each evening. If you go with a book-turned-film, such as The Lightning Thief or The Spiderwick Chronicles, plan a movie night once you’ve all finished the book. Go geocaching on a nice day. If your child gets a kick out of scavenger hunts, he or she may love geocaching, which is essentially treasure hunting

with a GPS-enabled device. All you need is a smartphone with GPS and a membership to a site such as www.geocaching.com or www.navicache.com. You can search by zip code and difficulty level to get coordinates to a geocache in your area. Geocachers hide a waterproof container with trinkets and a log book. Learn a new game. What better time than winter break to learn a new game? Games such as chess (check out www. chesskid.com) and bridge are known for their brain-boosting abilities. Word and number puzzles also are excellent learning games—especially when one

has time to pass. Try Scrabble (or Words with Friends on a smartphone), Sudoku number puzzles and tangram shape puzzles. Get crafty. Get out the craft supplies and have your child be inventive. Make gift tags or holiday thank-you cards. Turn a family story into an illustrated, handmade book. Create a family collage with pictures and mementos to display during the holidays. For more challenging projects, have your children make gifts for extended relatives. Peruse www.thecraftycrow.net or www.craftsforkids.com for inspiration.

ABUSIVE COACHES: More Bad News Coming Out of Rutgers….

“The Sports Edge” with Rick Wolff can be listened to every Sunday morning from 8am to 9am on Sportsradio 66 WFAN.

By Rick Wolff I’m the first to admit it. I’ve been riding Rutgers University pretty hard over the last year. First, there was the stunning revelations and videotapes of the men’s basketball coach, Mike Rice, with his verbally and physically taunting his players. Then there were the reports about the newly-hired Rutgers AD, Julie Hermann, that a number of her former volleyball players from the Univ of Tennessee that she wasn’t, uh, the most pleasant coach to play for. And now, there’s a new case involving a freshman football player named Jevon Tyree at Rutgers who was verbally

bullied by the defensive coordinator, and then basically bypassed by the coach in a game two weeks ago when a wide receiver was told to go in and play defense ahead of Tyree, who is a defensive back. Now, two things: one, it is agreed that every coach has the right to determine who plays and who doesn’t. That’s a given. And secondly, no one from the Rutgers football program has come forward to give their side of the story regarding Tyree. And without their side of the tale, it’s always hard to give an accurate account. In any event, after being bypassed in that game, Tyree has now decided to quit the

TEXT: 4 everfit TO: 28748

team, and plans to transfer. To me, as an outside observer, my question is: is this a case where the kid was just bullied by the coaches to quit? That is, perhaps the coaches, after having given this kid a scholarship, decided that he just isn’t good enough to play at the Div-I level, and instead of sitting down with him and his parents and explaining this decision to him, the coaches decided to make life so miserable for Tyree so that he would leave. Now, again, I don’t know all the facts here. But as I mentioned on the show, one of the dirty little secrets about college coaches is that when they DO make a mistake on a recruit,

to Receive One Complim

they will ignore the kid, not give him any playing time, and in general, make practices so miserable that the kid gets the point and quits. And when he quits, the scholarship money goes back into the pot for the next recruit. To me, as we focus more and more on bullying and coaches with no sensitivity, I think it’s a good thing to put these coaches under a harsh spotlight — to make them accountable for how they handle these athletes. Yes, it is painful to hear and read about these situations, but the sooner we begin to get coaches to stand up and act as responsible adults, the better it will be for our kids.
