Another lift she's really outstanding in is the jerk from rack, in which she's done 240 pounds.<br><br>BFS: With those types of numbers, she would probably do well in Olympic weightlifting competition. Have you considered trying that sport?<br><br>LJ: We've thought about it, but you know, we just haven't had the time. This past year has been such a whirlwind with her. When I started coaching Jesseca our first goal was to get to 50 feet in the shot, and she did that within a month. Then I decided--what the heck--let's shoot for 55 feet, and she got there in January. Now all of a sudden we're in the top three in the NCAA and challenging for the title.<br><br>BFS: Now that she's done with basketball and is focusing on track and field, what can we expect from Jesseca in the future?<br><br>LJ: She has a good possibility of making the next Olympic team in the shot put, and also a chance in the hammer throw.<br><br>BFS: What is it that sets Jesseca apart from other athletes you've worked with?<br><br>LJ: Discipline and a strong work ethic. Jesseca came to practice every day ready to lift, ready to throw, and to do all the things necessary--she took care of all the little details, such as being conscientious about her diet and getting enough sleep. And I think it's those little extra things that can make the difference between being a champion and being almost a champion.<br><br>BFS: Jesseca is now a grad assistant and will be working with your team this season. What are your expectations from her as a coach?<br><br>LJ: I think the best coaches are those that things didn't come easy for, and she's worked hard for everything she's accomplished. And having carried a 3.8 GPA, she's a great role model for someone entering our program.<br><br>BFS: Kevin Mannon followed you from the University of South Carolina. Has he lived up to your expectations?<br><br>LJ: The biggest story about Kevin is the incredible improvements he made in college. Kevin was not a highly recruited athlete in high school and received only a partial college scholarship. But he went from being a mediocre high school athlete to being a nine-time All-American. Very few athletes in the country have made All-American that many times, and he still has one more year! <br><br>BFS: What are Kevin's best results in the weightroom?<br><br>LJ: He's got a 500 bench, 650 squat and a 380 power clean. <br><br>BFS: Some coaches believe that explosive lifts such as the power clean are dangerous. How to you respond to this?<br><br>LJ: In all my years of coaching I've never had anyone get injured doing a power clean or snatch! I think the coaches who believe these lifts are dangerous are the ones who don't know how to teach them. Honestly, I believe that explosive lifts are injury preventors because they prepare the body for the kind of shock it's going to get when taking a jolt or a hit.<br><br>B
