17 Individual Champions That Won 24 State High School Mile Titles Over 40 Years The Book that documents the Ohio High School State Mile and 1600m champions. Here's what they did, what they didn't do. How they trained and how they raced. No theories, no opinions. Just the facts. Just the truth. By finding out what the winners did, this book looks to answer the question, what does it takes to win the state mile. Workouts, dual meets, winter running, tapering, eating, weight training. What's important, what's not. We start in 1964 with a runner who played high school football and basketball and then set two state meet records in the mile and half mile on the same day.

In between we talk to Olympic gold medal winners and others that didn't start running track till they were juniors. We'll try and answer the question that coaches have argued over for years; is it natural talent and will, or hard work and the right program that makes a champion.

Featured is a new chapter devoted to coaching diverse athletes, in which coaches learn about developmental differences in youth, cultural and gender differences, and differences in physical and mental abilities. Also new are specific guidelines on sexual harassment, sexual relations, and homosexuality in sport, making Successful Coaching the first book to offer written guidelines that address these issues. Principles of Behavior discusses how to communicate and motivate players, as well as manage problem behaviors among athletes, using a positive discipline approach.
