Help me give my students a power rack to fix form and really discover strength and power gains to keep them healthy and in the game.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Strength training is healthcare too. Football is focusing on strength gains. Soccer is working on maintaining for playoffs. Baseball is mid-season. If we want our athletes to be strong and healthy on the court or field then we need to teach them to be strong and healthy in the weight room. As we work on rebuilding function and strength in our injured team sports athletes we need to be able to see them lift weights as if they were part of the team. Our facility's weight room is across a bridge, then an additional quarter-mile walk away.
We need athletes to be strong and ready to return to the team in all aspects, including weight training.
A power rack in our Athletic Training Facility will allow us to connect the whole athlete to recover and prepare them to be healthy in all aspects of their sports.
The Power Rack also allows us to connect elastic bands and TRX or suspension training equipment for total body health for our team sports athletes. The bands and suspension training items are previously funded DonorsChoose items we would love to use even more often.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
