These points are as follows:<br><br>HEAD<br>1. Head - The head should be level and <br> unwavering<br><br>2. Eyes - The eyes should be on a target <br> straight ahead.<br><br>TORSO<br>3. Back - The back should be upright and <br> slightly arched.<br><br>4. Arms - The shoulders should rotate vigorously <br> with elbows fixed in a 90 degree angle. <br> Emphasize thrusting the elbows back. <br><br>5. Wrists - The wrists should simulate a whip <br> action as the shoulder rotates back.<br><br>LEGS<br>6. Legs - Initial leg action is to lift forward then up. <br><br>7. Feet - The feet should make the initial plant <br> directly under the hips not out in front of the <br> body. The toes should be kept up don t let the <br> foot drop.<br><br>8. Knees - On the follow-through or end of the <br> leg drive, the knee should fully extend.r Dan, he had proven to himself that he had what it takes to be the world s greatest athlete. But the public only remembered the no-heighter. To truly redeem himself, and earn the title he so fervently desired, Dan knew he needed the Olympic gold.<br><br>Dan went on to win two more world championships before the 1996 Olympic trials came around. Once again, all eyes were on Dan, and the event they watched most closely was the pole vault.<br><br> I knew it was a big deal, says Dan.  But I wasn t worried in the least. It<br>was no longer an issue for me. I <br>wasn t even worried about the trials.<br> I had one goal; that was the gold. Not the bronze, not the silver. I knew exactly what I wanted and was counting the days to Atlanta. <br><br>He sailed through the trials. In Atlanta, he sailed through the decathlon, holding on to a steady point margin throughout each of the ten events. Dan became the first American to win the decathlo since Bruce Jenner in 1976. His only disappointment was that he did not break his own world record. That is a goal he is still working on.<br><br>Historic Parallels<br><br>For those who follow the sport of decathlon, the parallels between Dan s life and that of the first gold medal decathlete, Jim Thorpe, cannot be ignored. Both were born of mixed races. Both have Irish surnames. Both came from small schools and towns. They have each enjoyed immense popularity and adulation, and also humiliation. For Thorpe, stripped of his medals after a controversial decision by the governing Olympic board, redemption and restoration of those medals would occur only after his death. Dan O Brien was able to set the record straight and place his own name for all time on the list of the World s Greatest Athletes. But his story is far from finished.<br><br>Dan feels strongly that his story is one that can help inspire and fuel<br>other young athletes.  I don t try to hide from the fact that I ve made<br>mistakes; we re all only human, says Dan.  There were a lot of things in my life that could have pulled me down. I had excuses to fail but I <br>didn t let them take hold of my psyche.
