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 first 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 Suzy concentrate on the power snatch and the power clean, the push press and the push jerk, the incline bench press (which he prefers over the flat bench press because of the angle of the release of the discus), and of course squats. Says Coach McBride,  If you want to be a great athlete, you have to clean and squat. <br>When asked about the differences in training male and female athletes, Coach McBride replied,  That s a challenging question. Physiologically, women 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 European perspective is different, and they are more knowledgeable about the sport. The media focus less on human interest stories and more on the straight meet. Although she is receiving sponsorship from Advocare and Asics, after the Olympics Suzy sees herself concentrating on the European track circuit.  Our athletes obviously have to go over there because that s where the money is, but everyone would like to be appreciated in their home country. <br> Suzy Powell may not look like the emblematic male Greek statues and figures we ll see on Olympic posters, but with her smart training and exceptional talent, you can bet her accomplishments will be chiseled in history.ition. If an athlete lands incorrectly, he/she must be corrected on the spot. <br><br>Thanks to Burroughs High School, Coach Steinberg and Leland for helping me with this article.
