There are no excuses; we are going to work as hard as possible. Coach Orr has the same attitude with the team--if they lose and they ve done everything they can do, then it s okay. Of course, we want to win, but more importantly we want to teach them about life, to make them better people, to make them work as a team, and learn to overcome adversity. 5O6 S R?+Y5ka H P8aX<42 -ilQD TE!j sN?*6_A&pĪ*TqӞ+:c&{)\ŷ>v'.?J uF&U0: ېx<7ZأAi?s>k!|\Ⱥ'jG:rFyX&y|*Il4pXR?ƣMc{}{9Ga cu˃Gޖo育3B{oSKdu_ZrZ3, ?ۙ'>uM>=6˷ -dNN0 *H LQ>Z.WkzknG)c~*nl}tfAo(Km\{L$.HIT{>Q<5J NiH!OP)zSIg 3\qE9s;bGL#{SlԆpO WUrsjFA#?Zv}=)u8 QZQ[ g OV@ \aicM&lrzJj@iB lziXeX 'C@fF>f#48 na Rʩ2p:b99yQ4HO48 4x=Ny=8cuSd1ޜYF Jҙh>`gg֣EFO?J?04)y&f'z~2;@ǯJ$jO0Hlӧzq9 $b8H,)؞6 =G>(>š\`䞜Pރ?J46~aEI'F3@hen they found out that the meet was going to take several hours, they left the meet and went down to a local coffee shop and had a few cigarettes and several leisurely cups of coffee. Says Amy, "When they came back to the meet they found that they had misjudged the time and there was only one jumper left before them, so they had to warm up in a hurry. They ended up jumping pretty well because they were great natural talents, but these were athletes who really didn't take care of their bodies, and you wonder what they could have done if they had taken better care of themselves."<br>A major portion of Amy's training is theOlympic lifts, but she also performs several auxiliary lifts for the lower back, abs and the upper body. "It's important to keep the upper body strong for coordination," says Amy. "At the takeoff you really have to move the upper body--you can't just be a limp noodle." She also says it's important for jumpers to perform specialized exercises for their ankles. "You get a lot of power from your feet, and if your ankles are hurting you're going to suffer. I do all kinds of ankle strengthening, such as picking up sand and running on the toes to strengthen the arches, surgical tubing exercises, and rocker boards--I work on my ankles a lot."<br>For younger jumpers, Amy believes in the importance of being exposed to a variety of sports. "You learn a lot through other sports and through competition. It's just like your academic studies--you need to become a student of your sport and learn all there is about it. The high jump takes a lot of technique, but you can't stop there. You need to learn the mechanics, the physics and the psychology of the jump to really succeed."<br>Amy has given quite a bit of thought to the psychology of sports and believes there are some truths behind the stereotypes about track and field athletes. She says that sprinters are confident, bordering on cocky; throwers are the jokers and are laid-back; pole vaulters are the daredevils, and distance runners tend to engage in strange rituals and habits that she feels border on "just plain weird." She also says that because decathletes have an appreciation for all the events, they tend to make a lot of friends and, she adds, "have the nicest bodies."<br><br> <br>Posing for Perfection<br><br>Although her plate is full with athletics and studies, Amy does have a few outside interests, such as modeling.

This last summer Coach Poss was our guest at our BFS Clinicians Convention. Coach Poss will be doing his first BFS Clinics as a clinician in the winter of 2001.
