I was coaching girls' track in Iowa and there was a young discus（铁饼）thrower on the team with 21 potential（潜力）. Here goes her story.
At the end of our training 22 the district track meet, this discus thrower, Lucy, asked me if she 23 come to the school on Sunday for a little 24 training. I agreed. The year before, she had placed second at the district meet and 25 missed going to the state meet. She had won every discus event, 26 that district meet! And, her throws in the competitions had 27 been between 106’1” and 110’10”.
Something began to 28 me. Why couldn't Lucy 29 to get the discus to 111 feet? I wondered if it was more a psychological barrier（心理的障碍） 30 a physical one. I decided to try something 31 . I made up my mind to 32 to Lucy.
On Sunday, after her drills, I said, “Why don’t you throw five or six good ones for me to 33 ?” She began to throw again, but 34 were farther than what she had already thrown. But, I didn’t tell Lucy. As I was measuring the 35 one, I pulled out some more tape (量尺) and yelled out to her, “ Come to see this! This one is 36 ! ” It wasn’t. Lucy, thinking that this was a personal best, jumped wildly into the air in 37 .
The next afternoon, at the district meet, Lucy 38 with a personal best throw of 114’10”! Just 24 hours after I had lied to her. However, this time she had 39 thrown the discus four feet further than she had ever thrown it before.
Sometimes we 40 our own barriers in our mind. So learn to take control of your mind.
