Now while Nielsen spend spart of his time practising for competitive events, he's also involved in other high school sports, including soccer and basketball, He said soccer is really the only sport where the Seaforth high school team can compete against city schools and win. Nielsen said there are a lot of natural soccer players in the - Seaforth school, which is fortunate, since city high schools is 'champ. Only One Seaforth,` Nielsen is the only shot putter, although there are 10 other members of the high school track and field team. Still, the athlete doesn't ever think of quitting the sport "I wouldn't want to quit after having guys help you out." The people who haVe helped Nielsen out include his family--" they're always right behind me". --coaches Terry Johnston and Bob Vigars and people and organiza-- tions in Seaforth who have helped pay some of Nielsen's expenses at meets. Odle Nielsen excels in throwing the' shot, he plans to continue practising with. the discus and is even considering training to enter decathalon events in the future. while the trophies and medals the athlete has won are visible signs Of his success, Nielsen said the important thing "is going to every, meet and bettering yourself:" Someday, he* hopes to "explode" as they say for the really long shot. In the meantime, he'll keep spending some time every day, on the deserted back field of the school, grimacing as he rotates to throw the shot, two of his finger bandaged with tape, his muscles straining, straining to better his last throw, because there's always another record to break.
