Excerpt
"I have been thinking about doing a more complete track & field, with cross country, reference book for young boys and girls for some time now. The reason I am doing this type of book is to speak right to the reader. Also because I am very involved as a coach in teaching track & field. If you can learn the basic fundamentals at a young age, think of how good you could become by the time you reach high school."
