Mike grew up in Southern Illinois, graduated high school in 1964, then went to the University of Notre Dame to get a great education and be a part of the one of the most successful football programs in college history. However, at 165 pounds as a freshman, the coaches told Mike that if he wanted to play at this level he needed to gain weight. So he headed off to the weightroom, and the following year tipped the scales at a solid 190 pounds. <br>Mike never stopped lifting, becoming especially proficient in the Olympic lifts. In his prime, still weighing 190 pounds, Mike performed a 400-pound standing press (a lift that is no longer contested), snatched 308 and clean and jerk 400. These results put him well into the national rankings, and are impressive even by today's standards.<br>In addition to his love of lifting, Mike instilled in Casey a disciplined work ethic.  My attitude towards my son is that if you're going to be an athlete, why not be the best that you can possibly be? Mike also says that much of what he learned about coaching philosophy he learned from the time he spent in the Marine Corps, which he joined after college.  The Marine Corps taught me how to achieve success through hard work and determination. I try to coach with that same attitude. <br>What does Casey think about his dad's coaching style?  He's really intense, and I guess you would say a perfectionist--but I know it's for the best. As for Mike's attitude toward his premier athlete, he said,  Casey is a model son. He's very focused, an outstanding student (with 3.83 grade average!), and he works his butt off in the gym. People ask if he's stubborn? He's 16 years old-how would you answer that? He's normal. <br>In addition to the guidance and support of his father, Casey has another weightlifting role model to inspire him, Olympian and still one of America's best lifters, Tommy Gough. When he lived near the Burgeners' home in Bonsaen have relatively longer femurs (upper thigh bone), so their squatting techniques tend to be a little bit different, but that s a minor point. I really don t look at our athletes much differently. I treat every athlete fairly and as an individual, which means some athletes need a kick in the butt and some need an arm around the shoulder. Concerning Suzy, Coach McBride is impressed with her discipline, motivation (she drives 45 miles, three times a week to train with him), and appreciates that she often takes time to talk to his other athletes about training and what it takes to be a champion. <br>Although her best lifts include a 132-pound power snatch, a 198x2 power clean, a 235x2 squat with a Manta Ray.<br>For Suzy, the only disappointing aspect of throwing the discus may be that it s more popular overseas than in the United States  The Euroly strong. He also admires 1996 Olympic Champion in the 238-pound class Timur Taimazov of the Ukraine.  His technique is good, not great, but he's very strong, says Casey.  Whenever he lifts, the weights look like nothing for him. <br><br>Training for Gain<br><br>As a coach, Mike believes that Casey's greatest physical ta
