I was coaching girls' track in Iowa and there was a young discus（鐵餅）thrower on the team with  21  potential（潛力）. Here goes her story.

At the end of our training   22   the district track meet, this discus thrower, Lucy, asked me if she   23   come to the school on Sunday for a little   24   training. I agreed. The year before, she had placed second at the district meet and   25   missed going to the state meet. She had won every discus event,   26   that district meet! And, her throws in the competitions had   27  been between 106’1” and 110’10”.
    Something began to   28  me. Why couldn't Lucy   29  to get the discus to 111 feet? I wondered if it was more a psychological barrier（心理的障礙）  30   a physical one. I decided to try something   31  . I made up my mind to   32   to Lucy.

On Sunday, after her drills, I said, “Why don’t you throw five or six good ones for me to  33  ?” She began to throw again, but   34   were farther than what she had already thrown. But, I didn’t tell Lucy. As I was measuring the   35  one, I pulled out some more tape (量尺) and yelled out to her, “ Come to see this! This one is  36  ! ” It wasn’t. Lucy, thinking that this was a personal best, jumped wildly into the air in  37  .

The next afternoon, at the district meet, Lucy   38   with a personal best throw of 114’10”! Just 24 hours after I had lied to her. However, this time she had   39   thrown the discus four feet further than she had ever thrown it before.
    Sometimes we   40   our own barriers in our mind. So learn to take control of your mind.
