The Michigan Daily-Thursday, November 12, 1981-Page 9 EAGER FOR RETURN TO NFL COACHING Allen started 'small' at Michi atgac By JIM DWORMAN When one thinks of Michigan Wolverine football coaches, the names of Bo Schembechler, Fritz Crisler, Fielding Yost quickly come to mind.

The session was attended by several hundred people. 4 Oly ic Gold medalist N-a b'er conducts clinic ' By KARL WHEATLEY Michigan's Matt Mann pool was the place to be last night for the area's competitive swimmers. The reason: swimmer John Naber, winner of four Gold medals and one Silver at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, was on hand to conduct a clinic for swimmers of all ages. The session, which started at 6:30; was attended by over 300 people, most of them young swimmers, including some who traveled more than 40 miles to get there. NABER STARTED off with a motivational talk aimed at convincing the swimmers that they can improve their performances by following his three- step process-set goals, break those goals down into easily attainable parts, and visualize themselves accomplishing them. "Allow yourselves to dream big," Naber said. "Let your thoughts be positive, because your thoughts become your words, your words become your, actions, your actions become your habits, your habits become your character, and your character becomes your destiny." Naber told the athletes to set their swimming goals in terms of reaching a certain time in a given event, and to be satisfied when they attain that time, whether they win the particular competition or not.- Naber pointed outthat "there is a difference between just sacrificing your - time and having a commitment to your goals.-Try to set a goal that is realistic, yet challenging for yourself." NABER CONTINUED the clinic with a discussion of proper techniques for the backstroke, his specialty. He used a set of seven two-word pairs to remind the swimmers how to execute the stroke properly. For example, 'rifle-barrel" is the code which keys swimmers to keep their arms straight, ,like rifle barrels, as they bring them back behind their head. The Gold medalist preached to the Olympic hopefuls about the importance of turns, stretching, proper breathing, sleep habits, and diet. Most of all, he stressed consistency. "Do things the same way in practice that you're going to do them in the meet," he said. "That's what practice is for, to practice what you are going to do in your meets." Although the clinic was Naber's first in Ann Arbor, he has been conducting similar sessiolrs since late in 1978, spending as much as three weeks per month on the road. "I'm trying to put back into the sport what I got from it," Naber said in an interview earlier. "People should push sport for the personality factors it develops. Involvement in sports starts as a physical developer, but ends up as a personality developer." Naber dedicated his clinic last night to Michigan diver Bruce Kimball, son of Michigan diving coach Dick Kimball. The younger Kimball was involved in an auto aceident last month, and his future in diving remains uncertain at the present. IM Scores skins, once coached football at Michigan. The game was not quite on the same level as that which Schem- bechler and his predecessors taught, though.' Allen was an assistant coach for the school's 150-pound team in 1947. Allen is better remembered for leading professional teams to seven playoff appearances and one Super Bowl than for helping someone else teach the game to a group of too-small- for-varsity college students. AFTER graduating from Michigan in 1947, Allen remained at the Univer- sity for another year to coach the 150- pound team and receive his Masters Michigan Hockey Statistics Individual degree. He then left Ann Arbor for Sioux'City, Iowa and his first head foot- ball coaching position at Morningside College. Allen stayed there for three years before moving on to Whitier College in 1951. The Detroit native joined the professional ranks in 1957 as the offen- sive ends coach for the Rams. The following year, Allen joined the Chicago Bear's staff as an assistant to George Halas whom Allen credits as one of many who contributed to his knowledge of the game. "I started learning football in high school," recalled the 1oth-winningest coach in NFL history. "I learned it from Crisler, from former Wolverine All-American (Benny) Oosterbaan, from Halas, and I'm still learning it." ALLEN BECAME the head coach of the Rams in 1966 and immediately transformed a 4-10 team into an 8-6 squad. He went on to compile a 116-47-5 record in 12 seasons as an NFL coach with the Rams and- the Redskins. In 1972, Allen took Washington to the Super Bowl, where his team lost to Miami, 14-7. Before leaving the Redskins in 1977 and being fired by the Rams (after they hired him for the second time as head coach) prior to the 1978 season, Allen established himself as the only NFL coach with more than 100 wins to his credit never to have a losing season. Despite his record of success, Allen is now a coach without a team. But that does not bother the recently appointed Chairman of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. 'I'VE GOT TWO offers right now," said Allen. "But I'm in a position where I don't have to coach. I'm not going to take any job just for the sake of coaching. I tried that once before, and it didn't work out." Various speaking engagements, in- cluding the upcoming Heisman Trophy dinner, and a job for CBS Sports as a football analyst have kept Allen both busy and financially secure. "When I coached football, we had a 40-houreweek by Wednesday," said Allen. "Now I'm seeing another side of life." Upcoming trips to Alaska, England and China will allow him to see the world, too. While Allen enjoys his current lifestyle, he retains the desire to coach in the NFL. "I'll be back within a year," he promised.
