Was it tough having a dad as a coach? Suzy replies,  Not anymore. When I was in seventh and eight grade we had our little bouts, because it was hard to separate dad from coach. <br>With her accomplishments on the field, younger throwers have much to learn from Suzy.  My first piece of advice would be to take the time to learn the technique properly. A mistake a lot of throwers in high school make is trying to jump right into the spin so don t rush into that. Also, the women s discus is quite a light implement at 2.2 pounds [1 kilo]. The better flexibility you have in your chest and your shoulders, the better stretch you re going to get off your chest, and that s how the discus is thrown. Obviously the legs and hips are the main source of the power, but as far as the delivery goes it s the chest that leads. <br>In the area of strength training, Suzy s biggest influence is her current strength coach, John McBride of the University of the Pacific.  He gave me my frst real introduction to weightlifting. He showed me how to do cleans and snatches, the proper technique for the squat, and he wrote my workouts. <br> When you speak with Coach McBride, it s obvious he tries to take care of every aspect of training and puts considerable time into developing his programs. He divides his training into 12-week cycles, which are broken down further into 4-week cycles. For the discus, he has Suzon was considered the exception rather than the rule.<br>"In the past there was more of a laissez-faire attitude toward high jump training, and a lot of the jumping workout would be occupied by sunbathing on the high jump pit," says Amy. She recalls one story of two German high jumpers who entered a competition in the 70s. When 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 the Olympic 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, surical 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
