Thus enlightened, Dan returned to school to get a master s degree in history and religious education.<br>At his athletic best, Dan was a competitor in what many regard as the  Golden Age of Throwing.  When I was a senior I threw 190, which was just a remarable throw  until you compared it to national records, says Dan.  It s funny, because I was up at a track meet in as Vegas this fall and I met a college coach from Delaware. When we got to talking about the numbers that I threw on Sunday, he said I would have dominated his conference. I thought,  A 46-year-old man would have won his conference  that s amazing.  <br>Dan s athletic accomplishments and practical coaching wisdom eventually caught the attention of BFS President Dr. Greg Shepard. The first time Dan met Greg was in 1980 at theHill Air Force Base Powerlifting meet, where Dan was competing for the Utah State Powerlifting Team. Recalls Dan,  It was about two in the morning during the deadlift competition, and I was sitting around in the warm-up room when Greg came up to me and asked me what I was opening with. I said I was starting light at 573 pounds, just to get a mark, and I think it almost knocked Greg down. After that we kept bumping into each other at competitions, and then I started working out at the pper Limit Gym when it opened up. That was a great place to wok out because the UtahJazz trained there, and Greg and his BFS staff made certain they took their lifting seriously. Oneday when I was working out Greg asked me if I wanted to work at the gym, and I accepted. That started my relationship with BFS. <br>If there s one maor struggle Dan has had as an athlete, it s with his bodyweight. In college it was as high as 272, which Dan says was pretty solid because he was lifting hard. Dan was able to lean down after college; he quit training from 1981 to 1987 to concentrate on his career. When he got back into training he allowedhis bodyweight to go up again, and by 1995 he accepted the fact that he was fat and had to do something about it. <br>To get lean, Dan went on a low-carb, high-protein diet. Dan s description of a good breakfast:  meat, eggs and other stuff. A bad breakfast: not mea, eggs, and other stuff. In a few months he dropped 50 pounds.  It s funny, I got down to 206, and I found that I could throw the discus just as far as I did when Iwas heavier  and my injuries disappeared. <br><br>The State of the Sport<br><br>Although Dan says the US stilxh)rjXqO [M9rJ:D]hA)et0QZ52uXy2iWimZuBoVm!ǭH_|!Jِ4\W G,] hcoXDuoIF{XEj.^pLnʭ :>`HGK1ki@^`;$sm}KG -UȈhb,]Cug$]-N!o@}Ԇ8 (_1vCQCI&@E)J$kRSH"H#y[fܿBJu$f+čF,y3 n_V We2 +܄w o/A&#qx 9[pɌj/rhi/_6Iq-Tsض >56d\lMjL@ɬ#X/@26^:9 pOnA$l3 WxrW&ضXʁD )I0)jߖPMB?ҁ}Ԙ @0mDIRBpiۭ)9XDDnjj A2gv5K\m.dm@`!Is#@m oH !-1 !
