In 2001 he tore an ACL, which cut his season short, and he overcame several injuries in high school.  We have always been big believers in NO excuses, and Mitch exemplified that throughout his career, says Doyle.  As a sophomore he broke his foot during his start, but never complained and made many key tackles during the game. As a junior he played with a broken hand, and as a senior he played the championship game with a separated shoulder. <br>Chardon lost that championship game in the last 46 seconds, and during a post-game interview a reporter asked Hewitt about his Chardon teammate s fumble on the opposing team s 1-yard line. Before the reporter could finish, Hewitt interjected,  We don t make excuses at Chardon. I don t want to hear about a teammate s fumble we played our hearts out and came up one play short! By refusing to make any excuses for their loss, Hewitt showed class and character on behalf of his team.<br>At 6 1 and 215 pounds, and with a 400-pound bench press to his credit, Hewitt is certain to attract the attention of pro scouts. He says that if the opportunity to play in the NFL comes he ll take it, but he also feels confident from having his college education to rely on. As for his role models, Hewitt gives credit to Jesus and to his mother, a single parent, for raising him well. What the future holds for this no-excuses linebacker from Bowling Green, no one can say for sure. But odds are, Mitch Hewitt will continue to come out a winner.> <P>Oerter doesn't think that it is possible for an Upper Limit athlete to avoid injuries.&nbsp; "If you work at elevated levels," reasoned Oerter, "you must expect some injuries.&nbsp; You don't look for injuries but you must push yourself. &nbsp;That is the only way to become stronger."</P> <P>In Rome, Oerter slipped on a muddy ring in the preliminaries and ripped the cartilage loose from his rib cage.&nbsp; "That was devastating," remembered Oerter, "I couldn't sleep, eat or throw. 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 experience 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.</
