It was good to see the world, said Cody,  and see kids from all over the country. I feel that to interact with different viewpoints and beliefs provides an enlightening benefit. <br>Cole, at age 17, went to Poland to wrestle.  Poland was so poor, Cole reflected.  In their grocery stores they had only NMkDI I also had some interesting religious discussions. <br>At age 16, Cael also went to Hungary. Said Cael,  The trip abroad was a great learning experience both for wrestling and for life. <br>When it came time to choose a college, it was Cody who would lead the way.  I knew that I was basically making the decision for my family, said Cody. I knew if I chose Iowa State that Cole and Cael would probably choose Iowa State also. My decision had to have their best interests in mind.<br> I knew Coach Douglas had been the 1992 Olympic Coach. Iowa State is excellent in academics and wrestling is huge. Coach Douglas was also a former world champion, not once but four times. Iowa State was my first choice. <br>Coach Douglas said,  I knew about Cody because he wrestled in our camps. Cody is dedicated and disciplined in whatever he does. All of his brothers have the positives necessary to be successful. Cody came to ISU in the fall of 1995 and everything worked out like a dream come true for everyone. Coach Douglas got three amazing wrestlers and the three brothers have gotten or will get a great education along with glorious wrestling careers.<br>Iowa State has more than 25,000 students coming from all 50 states and 120 other nations. They offer 20 men s and women s intercollegiate sports. Iowa State has produced 28 Olympians, three of whom won gold medals. Glen Brand was the first Cyclone wrestler to win the gold and the legendary Dan Gable was the second, winning in the 1972 Munich Games. The rich history of Iowa Sate is legendary. They have won eight national team championships, plus two unofficial national titles in 1922 and 1923. Hilton Coliseum offers over 14,000 theater-style seats, creating an awesome setting for collegiate wrestling and the Sanderson brothers. <br>Ed Banach, also a wrestling gold medalist in the Los Angeles Olympics from the University of Iowa, is now the Student-Athlete Counselor in charge of academics. He states,  Our student-athletes need to be organized, manage thei NO (JyCwed three throws.&nbsp; But because of the excruciating pain, Oerter decided to make the 2nd throw his last.&nbsp; "So," tells Oerter, "on that second throw I gave it everything I had."&nbsp; He threw an Olympic record!</P> <P>When asked about the struggles experienced in training for the Olympics, Oerter replied, "Barriers in life happen all the time.&nbsp; You have got to step it up.&nbsp; If you back down, you never learn anything about life or yourself."&nbsp; Later in his career Oerter did have Olympic coaches who would really push him but he always knew it was to make him better.</P> <P>Al Oerter was also a great success in the business world. Ironically, he worked with computers and advanced technology. Currently, Al Oerter is living in Colorado.&nbsp; And he is still a lean, but powerful 260 pound man.&nbsp; Although he is retired, he stays quite busy as a motivational speaker for a variety of corporations and as a husband, father, and grandfather.</P> <P>We thank Al for the opportunity to tell his story......................... </P>/li>
