Coach Larson added,  There was just no reason we couldn t dominate in the fourth quarter when you have so many player getting up at 6:30 A.M. each day to work hard for an hour and a half in the weight room and on the track.

It was easy to see that each player believed in the vision and had their eyes on the glory. Faced with a workout of 8x200, 16x100, and 12x50 early in the morning before temperatures reached 90+, none of the boys said a whole lot. Once into the workout there was not much time for talking. Learning to rest, however, became as important as learning to work hard. After all, completing a tough sprint workout was an everyday goal for each player and the team.  No one ever quethis knowledge. They also lost sight of any sociological impact they might have had and became like the men, obsessed about their own egos and muscle size. What choice did they have? they couldn t go back to being feminine. The public withdrew their support, the sport faded, and the men in the Weider organization replaced women s bodybuilding with women s fitness, which is just an excuse to watch Steve played basketball at Butler University for legend Tony Hinkle.

THIS ONE'S FOR YOU, DAD

In height and weight, Steve Cole is the smallest player in his league, but hes got a giants share of courage, dedication, drive and heart.

By Laura Dayton
Published: Spring 1998
When Steve Cole was a freshman he had some doubts about playing football, but they were fleeting. Hed been picked on most of his life for being short, and was used to standing up for himself. Besides, he had the support and encouragement of his dad, mom and step-dad. The doubts didnt linger long; from the moment Cole stepped in the weight room during his sophomore year, he began to plot his own strategies to become a major team player in spite of his physical limitations.

Cole had another reason for his strong sense of commitmenthe wanted to make his father proud. When Cole was in the second grade his father received massive head injuries in a violent car accident that left Vince Cole in a wheelchair with limited use of his limbs and impaired speech. His son was devastated.

For many ars I was hurt and angry, says Cole, now a senior at Maumee High School in northwestern Ohio. I just didnt understand why this had to happen to my dad.

Over the years Cole has learned to manage the heartache, yet hardly a day goes by when he doesnt think of his faer, who lives in a nursing home. One of his fathers greatest joys these past few years has been reading about Coles phenomenal performance on the field, in both the localaper and the school newspaper. As Coles senior year got under way and he was clearly on his way to his best performance yet, Vince was able to actually attend one of his sons games.
