Says Mendoza,  You have to have great balance to be an offensive lineman to understand where your balance is so you re not leaning forward on the toes or back on your ankles. To train for this we do a lot of balance-board exercises and work with medicine balls. <br>His first year as a strength coach at Ole Miss, the number-one goal that Mendoza wanted to accomplish with his players was to establish a strong work ethic. Said Mendoza,  Coming into a new coaching situation you think you re going to run into a lot of problems, but the players responded everybody wanted to work, especially Terrence.  When he s in the weightroom, he gets after it. He always wants to do more, and anytime we try to do something new or challenging he s always there trying to learn, trying to get better. He s a go-getter. <br>With his final college season underway, Metcalf is avoiding the media hype to focus on achieving his goals. He s working hard to fulfill his degree requirements, and his coaches are impressed with his sense of responsibility. His exceptional work ethic, strength and skills assure Terrence Metcalf a bright future, and he s one lineman who will be remembered at Ole Miss.heighter was a fluke. He had never done it before, and now he was determined that he would never do it again.<br><br> I can t explain what happened that day, but I realized I would have to be<br>totally prepared for any eventuality in the future, says Dan.  It took a few<br>weeks, and quite a few calls from friends, family, coaches and other<br>athletes. Then I was back into training and totally focused. <br><br>Dan s effort paid off almost immediately. Although he didn t compete at<br>Barcelona, a few months later Dan entered the decathlon event in Talence, France. There he set a new world record 8,891 points a record that still stands today. For Dan, he had proven to himself that he had what it takes to be the world s greatest athlete. But the public only remembered the no-heighter. To truly redeem himself, and earn the title he so fervently desired, Dan knew he needed the Olympic gold.<br><br>Dan went on to win two more world championships before the 1996 Olympic trials came around. Once again, all eyes were on Dan, and the event they watched most closely was the pole vault.<br><br> I knew it was a big deal, says Dan.  But I wasn t worried in the least. It<br>was no longer an issue for me. I <br>wasn t even worried about the trials.<br> I had one goal; that was the gold. Not the bronze, not the silver. 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 196. His only disappointment was that he did not break his own world record. That is a goal he isstill 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 races. Both have Irish surnames. Both came from small schools and towns. They have each enjoyed immense popularity and adulation, and also humiliation. For Thorpe, stripped of his medals after a controversial decision by the governing Olympic board, redemption and restortion of those medals would occur only after his death. Dan O Brien was able to set the record straight and place his own name for all time on the list of the World s Greatest Athletes. But his story is far from finished.<br><br>Dan feels strongly that his story is one that can help inspir
