It is amazing that Amy has only been throwing the hammer for such a short time and is doing so awesome. This last year she placed second in the hammer throw and fourth in the shop put at the NCAA finals. She competed in the US Track and Field Championships and took second place. Having so much success, she was selected to participate in the Pan-Am Games and took third. While competing in the Goodwill Games in New York, she won the bronze medal. Coach Kuusela said, "Amy is a very talented athlete that knows what she wants. Good athletes need to be able to think and understand and Amy does a good job at that. She has lots of potential with a good power level, but it is not fully converted at this point. 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 what 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 from 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 said she 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 gained from heavy weight lifting and incorporating it into throwing the 8.8 pound ball 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 doU 9@`A꾠 >um6fXc2R̈́ ֘";x?}V-ɪw;vwTI$QehS'b1 ƣ'TrEZcTڟ͋yPbK뱰>`ꠓFD_co#\/4h#+Q~/nՠq9n) iBsBF:b#ろAY}N# #K.=/Pv8&̮Gϑ5;iM9Pl4휒k{x4dJgURh$PdGZuy겾'$(7cM{~^kpoDyWdZM6u;.yZ bv7S sR"aS1'j lwS2d OEM@'Qm֫Eah_U`%OM$[ФKV@0dy.1h]J1Z7)x^)?Q|s ʱHe#/%\ѬaBȐ"AAMGN]%1u Vks[#Z `_6V7rr_͋oѭO.mZzlα9滇೎#$rRRQC =cV켙tKIb:ܠ)SL:|뷩%oiXYCEQ\>_cL[\ֳƳB~Q-ۻ,UjEQ&"7=nN4>6+( 1(P ]00]{A^6a\2Q@{/:@N)N HeI0y:ZXI#f!;raY4Q|>K,㥁̟ )O@!kpY?1ڻ zCݖ+S|"u+_*i2ZZ,W)4ƲQ$d[5K!#=:BHWeצXm nK7Ng3?5e.ev3۞&ɦ V⶷~oݿu!Q?WoՐmWXȳTU QCjpFW WJM`'pTз¸WEw='*WӹA@\ 5?)7PG({|_k'|QEg&]clzV#Bqƺ"ՠ,[L!Hؙ(NؚzBJ)+*vrtǛ/V#T|&zvQ<..u+w0/N98UgVoޣqQ\'K04ch]\IHATYT'hDR:ZRGL{9/0@bFUIG}2g VeA$}?~MiFQJՠ0;Sc/Jާ(i(2'm£ahzt waQTFЎXWmO1ZwX_A78R)R(0/k-BA~þ/uM:^W2RH Pl6cQ" >lZ;kU*V0[%AN4uf:{9g߇@N "bջpMkS\7bjEż@)kέ+$ӣ2g !E}k)M54NS^?sv)/W.^і:QX èpPҔ[ݜ<֯a+5SvrCm dKo]OW#;e`'dɦ[.rO J=Œ oY](߰vo~!] z[Pw$_FMZxK!e֟˝ ]PyR>}X)4jx|9Ƙ"dZHE>L%4ѬqTL龯jZS*Ė@:w0 'pq<` ޛ}r<k1bgOcvz,m%H^+E'vr^
