| Bob Takano Position: Head Strength Coach |
 |
| My name is Bob Takano and I serve as the strength coach for the Van Nuys HS volleyball program. I am also a science teacher in our exceptional magnet programs. I hold both a professional level certification from the National Strength and Conditioning Association, and a rank of Senior International Coach with the United States Weightlifting Federation. In my primary sport of weightlifting, i have coached national champions, national record holders, and national teams in the World's Championships, Goodwill Games, and Olympic Games. Explosive physical strength and its development are absolute essentials in the training of top athletes for the interscholastic competition. Some of our athletes could be considered marginal upon entering the program, but those that persevere with their strength training are able to reach all-city status after two or more seasons of serious preparation. As I've organized the training, our athletes have been able to increase their competitive capabilites,reduced injuries, and developed the capacity to perform explosively during the final minutes of demanding matches. Additional benefits include increased aggressiveness and greater self-confidence in the performance of physical tasks. I am quite proud of the accomplishments of our athletes and welcome the presence of the next generation who will continue the tradition of volleyball excellence at Van Nuys High. |
