Clarence Softball/Volleyball athlete, Gretchen Weiss, dominating a seated box jump.  Not to mention, she’s only 15 years old!

Of course she’s a great athlete but there is something to be said for spending time actually coaching and developing a young athlete to perform movements properly.

While she does lift (and she’s very strong too), the majority of her work is spent doing explosive medball throws, sprints, and jumps as the main stimulus in her program. These actually carry over to the weight room and allow her to continue to get stronger even though the total lifting volume is relatively low.
