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 of 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. That is 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 rknow in our program that I can be an effective asset to the head coach in acting as an extension of his beliefs and goals for the team.&nbsp; Many strength coaches enter a state of isolation once the season starts.&nbsp; The offense meets, the defense meets, you wait.&nbsp; Stretch, condition and "get back" can be unfulfilling after a summer of intense involvement with ninety players.</P> <P align=left>At ECU we've developed a three prong approach to building up our players mentally for a game.&nbsp; Head Coach Steve Logan, offensive coordinator Doug Martin and myself develop a theme for each game.&nbsp; Some examples of topics from previous years included The Player-Coach Relationship, Destroying Discouragement, Unleash Your Personal Power, Preparation of the Heart, The Value of Killer Instinct, etc.</P> <P align=left>After we choose a tou3$/a^ׯA :קo#6k5_I=^?b Gzg͛.CG8Nl~W4iͽ>XgozOїQɒ C2]с˟Ba,wbR{wYP`9t-+_Q$KS_F|jΛmF*~`V(wI揗t/ȝB@xi*IRM bG&]mHr{eMo"KSu}/LWפ[V;T4B|-ᏕVg:YEm(X(,S2ыPj0d?­IL=ibUByHgo,Gܼ6fXeu?u/MϑƇ͸v&dYnbclD;q-)X$lPc9on}.&@AЏqN':i'vVsZONEp t8imu`SBcĄ!1=)ʩ9 |PЧ%ynVR F6=pE+]q5SmX?לwg UzjY9I߯'@2D/p,5-ӉRhzM^RIQH8CMm-GS#:rEga7}JVud,LBā~[KiH]噶1킴Y!,ֲ>ԏJ.wI`1G#ԏ˻~ `.CbWi6,~ӎ|Y3/HAZlohOs\Glgr=89 ƿě(90ҪzTy&j/|^Vۈڝ/ x`=7LM.54J<+q?>ާG#RQS|5*jS~ZVT?1AOa~p$Жu]ZjHKΊk+sV5 y7QG$ףr-ٛNSQ1v9I;4vFRZyXz{S4LDj+fD*3 iLMq Hv* d!ܻy./N9*yP\ZEinܶeBa-x k>̣ı)~0~ wrG|+(a
