As my team got better, I began to think that we might be able to win the national championships, says Schmitz.  That was in the late  70s, and it took us until 1982 to win the national championships. The significance of this achievement isthat his team beat the York Barbell Club, which had won the championships for 29 years in a row. The York team was composed of athletes throughout the country who were sponsoed by York, whereas almost all Schmitz s athletes were from the San Francisco Bay Area and were dues-paying members at Schmitz s gym. Proving the victory was not a fluke, the Sports Palace team went on to win seven more national titles.<r><br>A Legacy <r>of Strength<br><br>Asking Schmitz who his I m a little careful around the handicappd too, a little reluctant. It s a noral reaction to something different, untilling, however, to describe some of the best qualities of each of the following Olympians he has trained.  Ken Patera was the absolute strongest, Bruce Wilhelm [the first American to snatch 400 pounds] trained the hardest, Thanh Nguyen had the most natural talent, Ken Clark had the most determination, and Mario Martinez [415 snatch, 513 clean and jerk and a silver medalist in the 1984 Olympics] had the most success. <br>In addition to developing new talent, Schmitz was also abe to rejuvenate the careers of many lifters who had suffered slumps. For example, Tom Hirtz s lifting had stagnated for several years until he came to Schmitz. Hirtz went on to eventually set an American record in the snatch of 342 pounds at 181 pounds bodyweight. Mark Cameron, already an accomplished lifter, moved to San Francisco to train with Schmitz for five months and soon afterwards clean and jerked 501.5 pounds while competing in the 242-pound bodyweight class. <br>One quality that sets Schmitz apart is that he has been able to work especially well with super heavyweights, having coached three of the four Americans who have clean and jerked 500 pst he pVD 8Գn+zoGK.?DX 1f.x-ړm. 46Kv{5dMǻdUOIS1Cv2A&o[rrQ[~:M|wTً4@<&7W5c)_eKwX,bove~)FYwH$$m:yIe$oo񷵝IRGb?_wxA5ko,H9~z"*?@3vPcpk@-G+>T22\Q 74m&ާ]]GΪGpvOZD@eG$*u*(փBU@1v\E, 'q`4ժCF ju+-JJe9?ѣX{^շnA:L7&u&JWᦓ=XaT`YN~?12&H?۸ؒ$k A*+~FXe$a) HR}Xyó $e`[&u7 zQHDtT~j].m e P\3n5S!b&T9RinAnʒk济-I-{*Ru%}&B2-.V4K`dzbU9QŜq5&8EurGMcB xi2`6`nb':&HTOxkߔ7RGSkҽ4Hѩe}xm;eKR%b uIMvI˲بپ>ўy}1)P/.\5GH|HVom|F!ބb'}5@ hk0E
