Greenfield High School Weight Room

GHS graduate (1984) and football coach Mike Kuchieski has been working overtime to create a new weight room for GHS athletes. Mike has connected with local citizens and associations like the GHSAA to obtain several pieces of equipment.

The GHSAA was able to donate $850 to the purchase of the new Pro-Maxima Super Squat rack. This rack has built in safety bars, extra handles for pull-ups and weight storage. It can be used for squat type exercises and bench pressing as well.

Today’s photo’s highlight several aspiring GHS football players, training to improve their capabilities as an athlete and to enhance the quality of their contribution to the GHS football program. Coach Kuchieski has set up two times daily from Monday through Thursday for GHS athletes, faculty and staff to utilize the new facility.

The weight room is open from 9 – 10:30 in the morning and from 6 – 7:30 at night for a quick but efficient strength training regimen.

There is always an experienced coach available for supervision and guidance in strength training techniques. For instance: Coach K has young athletes use a lighter weight as beginning lifters learn the proper technique for squat exercises. Reminding the lifter to "keep their back straight, be tall, slow down…" instead of allowing their back to bow (curve in) as they lower their torso, bar and weight to knee height.

GHS athletes are learning the proper training methods from Coach K, who learned from his GHS coaches and while playing football at Springfield College (1988).

Proper technique over time will lead to successful training, developing a strong foundation of fitness and a sense of accomplishment before even hitting the playing field.

The weight room is open to all GHS athletes and staff members. Mike is trying to procure more space to create an aerobic/cardiovascular exercise room as well. The GHSAA is proud to support the efforts of a GHS teacher and Alum, as we all work together to enhance the facilities and opportunities at GHS.
