It really hurt!"&nbsp; The doctors told him there was nothing they could do.&nbsp; But, Oerter persisted.&nbsp; So, the doctors agreed to try a method where they froze the muscle, taped it, gave him ammonia capsules and then hoped for the best.</P> <P>Since each competitor gets to keep their best throw from the previous days preliminaries, Oerter could have stayed in the top eight without over extending himself.&nbsp; However, he said, "I just thought about the four years of hard work and those 1460 days. &nbsp;I did not want to cheat myself."&nbsp; Then during finals each competitor was allowed three throws.&nbsp; But because of the excruciating pain, Oerter decided to make the 2nd throw his last.&nbsp; "So," tells Oerter, "on that second throw I gave it everything I had."&nbsp; He threw an Olympic record!</P> <P>When asked about the struggles experienced in training for the Olympics, Oerter replied, "Barriers in life happen all the time.&nbsp; You have got to step it up.&nbsp; If you back down, you never learn anything about life or yourself."&nbsp; Later in his career Oerter did have Olympic coaches who would really push him but he always knew it ws to make him better.</P> <P>Al Oerter was also a great success in the business world. Ironically, he worked with computers and advanced technology. Currently, Al Oerter is living in Colorado.&nbsp; And he is still a lean, but powerful 260 pound man.&nbsp; Although he is retired, he stays quite busy as a motivational speaker for a variety of corporations and as a husband, father, and grandfather.</P> <P>We thank Al for the opportunity to tell his story......................... </P>is what they said: <STRONG>Lindsey: </STRONG>We worked really hard after you left. We could really tell the difference. It was neat showing other people how to do the lifts. <STRONG>Brianne: </STRONG>We learned a whole lot. We now watch others and can easily pick out their mistakes. <STRONG>Cherisse: </STRONG>It's a lot easier to do it now. We notice a difference. Sometimes we tell the guys about their mistakes. It makes me feel cool that I now know what to look for.&nbsp;</P> <P>We thank Coach Brad Smith who has developed athletes who are self reliant and have such a wonderful attitude. We wish them well on their quest to win their third consecutive national title.</P>is the main practice field which uses natural turf.
