I was coaching girls’ track in Iowa and there was a young discus（铁饼）thrower on the team with  1  potential（潜力）．Here goes her story.

At the end of our training   2   the district track meet, this discus thrower, Lucy, asked me if she   3   come to the school on Sunday for a little   4  training．I agreed．The year before, she had placed second at the district meet and  5   missed going to the state meet．She had won every discus event,   6  that district meet! And, her throws in the competitions had 7  been between 106’1” and 110’10”．

Something began to   8  me．Why couldn’t Lucy   9 to get the discus to 111 feet? I wondered if it was more a psychological barrier（心理的障碍）  10   a physical one．I decided to try something   11  ．I made up my mind to   12   to Lucy.

On Sunday, after her drills, I said, “Why don’t you throw five or six good ones for me to  13  ?” She began to throw again, but   14   were farther than what she had already thrown．But, I didn’t tell Lucy．As I was measuring the   15  one, I pulled out some more tape （量尺） and yelled out to her, “Come to see this! This one is  16  ! ”It wasn’t．Lucy, thinking that this was a personal best, jumped wildly into the air in  17  ．

The next afternoon, at the district meet, Lucy   18   with a personal best throw of 114’10”! Just 24 hours after I had lied to her．However, this time she had  19   thrown the discus four feet further than she had ever thrown it before．
