It really hurt!"&nbsp; The doctors told him there was nothing they could do.&nbsp; But, Oerter persisted.&nbsp; So, the doctors agreed to try a method where they froze the muscle, taped it, gave him ammonia capsules and then hoped for the best.</P> <P>Since each competitor gets to keep their best throw from the previous days preliminaries, Oerter could have stayed in the top eight without over extending himself.&nbsp; However, he said, "I just thought about the four years of hard work and those 1460 days. &nbsp;I did not want to cheat myself."&nbsp; Then during finals each competitor was allowed three throws.&nbsp; But because of the excruciating pain, Oerter decided to make the 2nd throw his last.&nbsp; "So," tells Oerter, "on that second throw I gave it everything I had."&nbsp; He threw an Olympic record!</P> <P>When asked about the struggles experienced in training for the Olympics, Oerter replied, "Barriers in life happen all the time.&nbsp; You have got to step it up.&nbsp; If you back down, you never learn anything about life or yourself."&nbsp; Later in his career Oerter did have Olympic coaches who would really push him but he always knew it was to make him better.</P> <P>Al Oerter was also a great success in the business world. Ironically, he worked with computers and advanced technology. Currently, Al Oerter is living in Colorado.&nbsp; And he is still a lean, but powerful 260 pound man.&nbsp; Although he is retired, he stays quite busy as a motivational speaker for a variety of corporations and as a husband, father, and grandfather.</P> <P>We thank Al for the opportunity to tell his story......................... </P>&nbsp; I was so impressed with the passion and love each coach had in working with the Evangel kids.&nbsp; Each coach spiritually ministers to the players.&nbsp; I know first hand they have saved many kids that might otherwise be in gangs, drugs, or in jail.&nbsp; The coaching staff does a better job off the field than they do on the field and they went 15-0.</P> <P>Coach Dunn offers his players opportunities for leadership and service.&nbsp; Phillip Deas, the Evangel quarterback, is a straight-A student who has spoken at nursing homes and in prisons.&nbsp; Coach Dunn stated, "Phillip is an outstanding preacher.&nbsp; Our team and our players feel they are doing God's work.&nbsp; They feel they are ministers of His word."</P> <P>My wife and I were priviledged to be on the Ğ:ˮnI;w5N P5Jm[~6:+C ᘩiv+\>_"s{L%_d.#ޭ{ T6Tw<[^T?pc *>iJt6(ի,r]2#T0@D !7 Q-ڽU(9= Pwo=~M\ /kk 'd;xqqfZ>^]9* $ke`zv: _!q9y.2Ò6]EzՍ02D8$4^ LxXԐtdKg[s~9^:˒v5(ܾԬSQQ33*'{c.\i$STm *^#\5snWgղݦ=;(8t뱬LP_zEc_7r"ʍ$q]GQfs?y9<͋ME6%n_gAJꨲg.Dr&l*n@'qG*j)/5ōWIͯ}ƃhj@Ym(&bx_^ ;Q;Kϒ۷NcaՔ:[@7C[|uS7OMhS@1E :uU] {)jTOcF gp"C\j /Oh|`,<>f~Wo͊u@og50 ,bh40Ȕwk lx*wUj93"d19 (ƌƠ b[iRK|i|PԾۏ[-UAB84!c~Z;qӈ:EmfupIXiM3q&&ZZÀ6V  jA2ޱXQFZfRlI;Y.kwU__ᢌ.J,+5ϫ'5}8*,DF"[\Xjt_^46-]пZ[ mnxFm=v&S4uo4e"n<6:o1ap)RE,6q=DΣ+ ̃c4˺dQmȤ7Ynۭ&Ւj_$F Io%d Q~;%ݶ}?-i1 F="[6uӦz؄ #ie }A/h}fJ[`uLJ]q6:|-$]G,oHn.
