State champion high jumper shares hidden talent
"You gotta be constantly looking to improve, whether you're in
the back of the field, the middle of the field, or especially in the
front," Willis explained.
The jump that won Dartis the State Championship measured 6
feet 11 inches. To put that in perspective, he could have jumped
over Ben Wallace - minus the afro - and still had two inches to
spare. Those kind of performances were par for the course and
the reason college coaches came calling. Complete article

| Training is the most demanding part of a track athlete's career (not the day of competition, as most people think). Training workouts are designed to tear down an athletes muscles. The bodies response to the breaking down of the muscles is not only to repair them, but to make them stronger so that they can withstand the demands that are being place on them. And through the season the workouts intensify in order to see continual improvement in an athletes ability to perform. An athletes body needs energy to meet the demands of the intense workouts that the they go through. Without getting into too much detail the main source of that energy comes from the foods that an athlete eats. Foods that contain "CARBOHYDRATES" are the most important part of the diet for an athlete. If the athletes don't have enough CARBS in them, their bodies will not have the energy that is needed for them to work as hard as the planned workout is demanding. Subsequently they will not get as strong as they could get (because they don't have the energy). This could be why you see athletes die out early during a work out session.
