Two guys were injured and weren t supposed to compete, but they did and scored! You really feel the team effort and these games are memories I ll always cherish from my college years. <br><br>A Coach with Attitude<br><br>Coach Randy Ziraldo, originally from Michigan, has been Cal s assistant track and field coach in charge of throws for 11 seasons. Some of his better-known athletes are John Wirtz in the dscus, Travis Nutter in the hammer, and Jennifer Joyce, also in the hammer and rated second in Canada.<br>He s Dana s primary coach, and for the past three years his patience has paid off and there is a high level of mutual respect between them. However, Randy admits there was a time when his skills with female athletes were not quite as developed.<br> When I first began coaching women I thought,  No big deal. Boy, was I rudely awakned! Training principles may be similar, but psychologically women are so different. The first time a girl started crying I asked her,  Why are you crying? I ve come to be a bit more sensitive about these things.<br> But the girls get tougher too. Particularly this group. I remember a time when one girl s boyfriend was beating her up and hanging around. I kicked him out and told herto dump him. If that situation happened with this group I think they'd personally kick him. Thee girls are dedicatd and determined. <br>Mental focus is a big part of Randy s approach.  Everyone looks at how many hours are spent in the weight rom and training field, but no one talks about training their minds. When someone says this person can t compete, you have to ask how he or she has trained. If there isn t some mental training going on, there s a problem. I think that kids are not really prepared these days.<br> When developing a strong mental attitude you have to be constant. You need to hammer them about the mental aspect so much that when they get to a meet they re so sick of hearing it they ll do anything just to shut you up!<br> The mindset I work toward is nothing matters except performing well. You perform; afterwards we talk about the problem. If a shoe flies off in the middle of a run, it doesn t matter. You need to eliminate all the worry over any oft imagine how she trains when she is feeling well and at total capacity. I was disappointed to hear from Coach Kuusela, that I had just missed watching her squat 520 for a new personal record, a fewweeks ago. Since then, Amy has moved into a different training phase where she focuses on taking the brute strength that was gaind from heavy weight lifting and incorporating it into throwing the 8.8 pound ball they call the hammer.<br>Amy loves to explode on the weights. Her favoite exercise is the power clean. Her est is 253 lbs.! Since her attention is focused on the hammer throw she doesn't bench press, but she has done 275 lbs.<br>Many athletes in this day and age have stumbled across road blocks in their lives, yet managed to overcome these trials to be labeled champions. Perhaps the rough and rocky road they have been forced to walk is what polished them into first class, fine tuned athletes. Amy is an athlete hat has had to work hard to overcome adversity. When Amy was in high school her parents divorced. As we talked about overcoming hardships and coping with negative aspects in life, Amy commented by saying, "Everyone has obstacle and you can make them to be as big as you want, it's just the way you go about handling them. The important thing is how you react and deal with the problems, that's what makes you a better person. I could have used my Dad's drinking problem and my parent's divorce as an excuse notto be happy and accomplish my goals, but I idn't. Some people choose to use negative things ike this as a crutch to leano<*)c:Hm}eƁec澪8s3dmrOh 7"- .I :5FL2Xo ?-c.0T2m7Gz!&;m7ֹyfԱ?c;@H) ҈( 9i*µQT{+ Hd@{oݭ·T`YP=F6$"f{ڍLmOOXȊ(uٮ+(Lrn&7dlۂ>A!.DI/OMH߆p̀Z[JDHbęHh{oҦ]J7:%R&(:5C!"} m1M,.w}j 1i%q*K@O,Ib,qjs|Y6k}4IUږ$6,-F)Y8
