So, as the off-season heated up, the Eagles learned the value of community service. Each week, they set off to the local elementary school and read to the kids. Each player began to see the positive impact that they could have on those around them. In addition, they collected over a thousand toys for children at Christmas. <br>The team s effort in the community was matched by great intensity in the weight-room. A team that initially had no players squatting 300 pounds, no one cleaning 200 pounds, and only one player who could bench press 300 pounds began to see records fall daily as players rallied around each other.<br>Coach Dollar implemented the concept of lifting clubs, where the top 33 players were ranked by the total of the three core lifts (squat, clean, & bench). The three levels are, Berkuts, Golden Eagles, and Eagles. Each athlete was given a t-shirt to wear at every workout to show their  flight status . The number of 250 pound benchef success so he could share them with American lifters through his writing, lectures, training camps and personal coaching. The following year Miller was named head coach of the US Weightlifting Team at the World Championships.<br>The athletes Miller has coached have performed well in junior, open, and masters competitions. His most accomplished athlete is Luke Klaja, now a successful physical therapist with a private practice in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Klaja was a member of the 1980 Olympic Team, competing in the 198-pound bodyweight class. Known for his speed and excellent technique, Klaja at his strongest was able to clean and jerk 429 pounds. At the Olympic Trials when Klaja was about to attempt a weight that would earn him a spot on the team, Miller recalls that his athlete turned to him for encouragement to make the lift. Bemused that his athlete needed any more incentive than making the Olympic team, Miller quipped,  Miss it and you owe me $100! To this day, Klaja remains in excellent shape, and in 1998 he broke the national masters clean and jerk record in the 45-49 age group, lifting 319 pounds in the 187-pound class.<br>As a lifter in his own right, Miller had a competitive lifting career that spanned four decades. At age 19 he broke the national teenage record in the snatch; at age 41 there were no more than a handful of US lifters stronger than Miller as he snatched 281 and clean and jerked 352 while weighing 181, despite having several surgeries that included two spinal fusions. Two years ago at age 61 he cleaned 319. Not only can Miller hold his own in the weight room against many college football players, at 61 he ran the 40 in 4.91!<br>In the 70s when he was working tirelessly as our coaching coordinator, Miller traveled extensively in oreign counties to study the training of the world s best weightlifters. At one time he was able to get a private audience with Bulgarian Head Coach Ivan Abadjiev, the man who single-handedly transformed Bulgaria into a world weightlifting power capable of challenging, and often defeating, the mighty Russians. <br>Miller wrote and lectured extensively about the keys to Bulgaria s success, one of which was to keep the multiple daily workouts short, often no more than 45 minutes, to prevent ovetraining a*n+_[;NNatd83rͳ& I\q}y >mL[d%x䎠1ZA\+mk RT%'6 ZdЭmЏ3 vn,wU@"27^\GFb ֯o |XW9;:S#"Rrg-_cGV;kx~twn "*1&RPM:kjߛ<|z˹"B?#qQpv ϨFM5Dя)\!hrGMfL&?$ R-ܚ͇^lQBhX67{SՇk_I\wE:lpCˉJf;:̯ _L22n\)TP[kf_xv=B,p >ЭvA*6Ӗx0߫+[Ir-aV/;ko%WIkdT>_NJk"ڔi,kHѨ@+jFV62KR;?D*NJ =-$K>tO(|y;_ sdA]{BA~%
