As a young athlete still in the beginning phase of hammer throwing, she has a real shot at breaking the world record."<br>Weight training is very crucial to a thrower's success. Coach Kuusela explained, "the power clean is the most beneficial lift you can perform for the hammer throw, but remember, as a hammer thrower, she only trains with weights, to help benefit the throw."<br>So hat is the key to Amy's success in the hammer throw? Many coaches and teammates claim she has great technique and I will agree to a point, but, the key comes fro her great explosive power, which she has developed through training with heavy weights. Amy is the strongest female athlete I have ever met in my life. I watched her power clean 220 for 3 reps with perfect form as if it were nothing. Then we went over to the squat rack where she worked her way up to 410. She was just recovering from the flu and saidshe wasn't feeling that great, I can't 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 few weeks ago. Since then, Amy has moved into a different training phase where she focuses on taking the brute strength that was ganed from heavy weight lifting and incorporating it intothrowing the 8.8 pound all they call the hammer.<br>Amy loves to explode on the weights. Her favorite exercise is the power clean. Her best 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 da 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 that 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 obstacles 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 not to be happy and accomplish my goals, but I didn't. Some people choose to use negative things like this as a crutch to leanE c\]~ͳ~zot,/yD2cW^0cTPP)[4#f 2f:ULV1bRm͊c:f8pQGag&é-.߯+0nD?;#f9X[I-nkx5DXpMSo21puyy!J85!!AfoCZym6}g6!CSB)PԮsJ/ѷsZ&نV>p~Y-ņڭ/w푭BX'vxl /]O Pދ-;|ěSВ  @x5!{w"9dSٙFJPHzpCPP3,$Te.B^.C$Su!ʞ@[Iarv4= )m s3tXy4yoC6a$TebewL]LN`0T6cqVf͊+6V*QZ̃*oe<ЎiY[/R,U95#xPi$\44ӊl}0FzSVm -а|s;~ t 嵝"R*&`;n5 AXE~}^_;}`dD x~kOﹲv4M:|n]Ze\b9U'5UjqU0TWrWlSh0A%#S9:`Clz殡>}r}5m$n;/7ܿd?0j`Q8>YE2!eד,12 |:|X[{YX͵ŔL&S#3W^Jqxl#qaN@&|_fGю!+_9dfEg%P+ZX@򎧪kYյk#s+N UV(QǗ31c$0-Z]JjWwl@[AkY_myY2Ei$W)9mn4_/ gW]tXEoS?^yzOիw^;]N#d-4Ɽi' 0>$؈LJ..ZIn^!\s IӺAFR8FJ+{-o);K;$z&O/i01¢v@8 -(-N@6ħ.:\6O6*\k3VR%& E'cxM*Ҁ9Iku'(sj>YiKV׋qP8?ObjZos4 Lr]T7 |0VOšȮMojO+2{!(%kHH*Qyl '#m%i@<xPN{,/YI3L'^R]R7RJ+q͑77yq*):}=Ri\>漰4iu 0\;Ŝq,7,E֡X&,Q`4!+nH׫b12rfԇ V٥5 Ǔ: _3 ;Q[o@NNXU.94ˊĸTԕ{}]XއZ7oOQ@}F- Mx&%[}iX0-mɔ|q'I[[I SޮFՕ$ܮX3~ JBCoj@!74hY,-ll2Q\u|bO NIʖL?f>DN!f1< -$MVe)5l>Ko/Rc%q_ش jZJɷ[Cdqu5JuiRd KXԭh,2dyBTOwuYDO<!7)#2֬tm[`!Fc.!%›Fӻ5DG_cvag̓CVTrYhRK;J|H^}PU1")o1G:X]w751{8!uq]!)y'i쬈IMmY61+x7e2 }ƂT4P] Z'+(d<|i(2uűG*E*@9 )Mߢ9% v sP:RI/o6z±j@i(XuOنsrVPPp\}ŧ#fG#-ΥQJ )߼x[ x9e%Oy1|4JփmYp&BNu N6Jn5Orz#j,i('ERҍ?gS5'lܛoq5da.ŵ@0n΂\i̞CpnO.OD br$))\+i^dAB;Ao,<2E6KdXuW,#Y^Q NDORM3M, [&tV ϛe.Ui}*ga+W-0Еŵ-:{R)%# URojF83-Nl*4ה^DoWaMhO@o)YCV3٥9ǁYr/1Qmm{G^a\;I 083prXs PK25}|wz)D>^[:~Ī~)Pǚ@:"3q-lnvI=?YlR>qȭj#-莼j ԚGcF[$[rl$l!ɠ(%rMҜ>"2` r%~z%U8 bi̞TJڐ4Z,sr 9PJw{uҳ$rNm!%A y-otu!a iFRzbXChT%50^48oa_jvg!%Hd-{IGښtEa9^ZK%s*fc&g0ͪTkVm>1N׀Q|$3}:uKԤ'vWjcҊN̼K)=kBr,9-[Uk4qo@ȏ!^ ]$[5z5tNd)ϓ?1MhCĿofI PvS=RBἦGy29H.߶׷R><BR>The coaches teach the BFS program and they use the videos.
