That's why my degree is o important. When football is over at whatever level, I'll be able to move on. Graduating means a lot to me and my parents.<br>  I believe to be successful you must work hard with determination. You have got to want to be successful. Summer is the key. How hard are you willing to work in the summer?"<br>The question of steroids is becoming almost obsolete. Football players at Division I schools do not seem to be using nearly as much as a decade or two ago. Chad stated, "I've never seen them. I've seen steroids on TV. I figured I'd see them when I came to Tennessee but I never have. I've never tried Andro but I have used a little Creatine. I stopped that. I'm big enough. I believe you should be happy with yourself. Never go halfway. Always give your best effort."<br>Chad has two brothers and two sisters and loves his family get-togethers. "If I did something bad, they would still love me but it would be difficult and going back to my small town would be humiliating. I'm lucky to have a great family and to have faith in the Lord."<br>Coach Stucky was so very right. He's got one. Coach Stucky preaches to all his players to stay humble and hungry. He calls it the two "H's." He stresses three areas for success: Discipline, work ethic and accountability. Chad Clifton is the poster player for this ideal. <br>Go Vols!<br><br>______________<br><br> Over the last two years the Vols have averaged over 10,500 rabid fans per game. Tops in the nation. world record 8,891 points a record that still stands today. For Dan, he had proven to himself that he had what it takes to be the world s greatest athlete. But the public only remembered the no-heighter. To truly redeem himself, and earn the title he so fervently desired, Dan knew he needed the Olympic gold.<br><br>Dan went on to win two more world championships before the 1996 Olympic trials came around. Once again, all eyes were on Dan, and the event they watched most closely was the pole vault.<br><br> I knew it was a big deal, says Dan.  But I wasn t worried in the least. It<br>was no longer an issue for me. I <br>wasn t even worried about the trials.<br> I had one goal; that was the gold. Not the bronze, not the silver. I knew exactly what I wanted and was counting the days to Atlanta. <br><br>He sailed through the trials. In Atlanta, he sailed through the decathlon, holding on to a steady point margin throughout each f the ten events. Dan became the first American to win the decathlon since Bruce Jenner in 1976. His only disappointment was that he did not break his own world record. Thatis a goal he is still working on.<br><br>Historic Parallels<br><br>For those who follow the sport of decathlon, the parallels between Dan s life and that of the first gold medal decathlete, Jim Thorpe, cannot be ignored. Both were born of mixed races. Both have Irish surnames. Both came from small schools and towns. They have each enjoyed mmense popularity and adulation, and also humiliation. For Thorpe, stripped of his medals after a controversial decision by the governing Olympic board, redemption and restoration of those medals would occur only after his death. Dan O Brien was able to set the record straight and place his own name for all time on the list of the World s Greatest Athletes. But his story is far from finished.<br><br>Dan feels strongly that his story is one that can help inspire and fuel<br>other young athletes.  I don t try to hide from the fact that I ve made<br>mistakes; we re all only human, says Dan.  There were a lot of things in my life that could have pulled me down. I had excuses to fail but I <br>didn t let them take hold of my psyche.
