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. We'll finish in the new Jesse Owens stadium with the only runner to win three 1600m titles. 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. Learn how a 3 time Olympic steeplechaser drops from a 4:35 his junior year to a 4:10 his senior year.Follow the training of a baseball player who starts running track his junior year and wins the State 1600m his senior year with a 4:14.Find out how much 400m speed you need to run a 4:10 1600mHear how many miles you need to log in January and February to run a 4:10 in June.See how the right tapering knocks of 8 seconds at the state meet time for our champions.Read if weight training, stretching and cross training are needed to run a 4:10.In the end we take what we learned and put together a detailed five month training routine that will produce a 4:11 1600m and win you the State Division I mile. This second edition includes a runner that read the book his junior year and went on two win two state 1600m titles.

You won't find a boring encyclopedia of diagrams here! You won't find a detailed over-analysis of historical losing teams here! Instead, here you will find short and concise fundamentals that put the all-important fun back in the game for the players, parents, and you!

"A fascinating look at American youth 'soccer' and how the world's game carved its own niche in the midlands of America." -Stephen Foster, author of "And She Laughed No More: Stoke City's First Premiership Adventure."“Their captain stood there in the middle of the circle with the ball by his feet while he observed the field. This was his moment of glory: The first player in school history to have possession of the soccer ball in a game. This probably felt like the highpoint of his soccer career and possibly his life to that point…. In less than three seconds his moment was over. Our midfielder had run up in the guy’s blindside, stretched out and drilled the soccer ball. His follow-through carried into the player and planted him into the ground… His shiny new jersey was covered in dirt as when he hit the ground the hot summer’s dust kicked up around him. Less than two minute later we scored.” Of all the levels of soccer in the United States, perhaps none is more baffling than high school soccer. Overshadowed by more popular sports and made redundant by club and select teams, high school soccer seems a pointless endeavor and an example of Americans trying to force the “World’s Game” into American notions of sport. However, in Rural America high school fields are the only place the game can be experienced live. If soccer is going to grow out of its image as a suburban or immigrant sport, then rural America is going to have to come on board as well. Is Rural America really ready for soccer? Is soccer really ready for Rural America? “Off The Post” is the true story of a ragtag group of atypical Bible Belt American teenagers (plus one secular humanist Norwegian exchange student) and their coach. The kids aren’t stereotypes but they have to manage their way through a society full of them. They don’t come from a long line of soccer pedigree. They don’t get to be local celebrities for playing (that honor goes to the basketball team), none of them will ever play college soccer, and they don’t spend their springs training with a select team to perfect their skills. In fact, most of them will never kick a soccer ball outside of the school season. Their coach is worried less about winning than he is interested in making a new generation of American soccer fans and creating a place where the kids are free to be themselves. As this is a real story, not some stereotypical fantasy by a hack Hollywood writer, the season won’t end in a miracle run to the State Championship. However, they are having fun and they are learning the beautiful game, which can be downright ugly at times. While they are growing into adulthood they also, like their nation, are growing into maturity as soccer fans. Just don’t expect them to act like adults all the time (or rarely at all). “Off The Post” is a microcosm of the sport’s growth in America’s heartland. From a time just a few years ago when nobody seemed to know anything about soccer to a current attitude that says, “Beware World: The Yanks Are Coming!” “Off The Post” also touches on what it means to be a rural American who has glimpsed what the rest of the world holds yet chooses to live in their hometown. The quirks of small town life are explored for each community the team will visit throughout the season, from a town commemorating the birth of the President of the Confederate States of America to a field that once graced baseball legends like Babe Ruth and “Shoeless” Joe Jackson. Rory Miller teaches in a rural high school and coached soccer for nine years. He is an avid reader of the English “Fan Lit” genre and is trying to develop America's own. This is his account of his final season coaching, a season full of highs and lows on the field while navigating a team full of “characters” in every sense of the word. In addition to his teaching credentials, he also has a Master’s Degree in History and is active in the online world of Soccer blogging.

What others in sports are saying about The Best-Laid Plans... "Randy and Matt have put together a great book for building a high school basketball program. ...This book would be an excellent read not only for high school basketball coaches, but also for coaches of all sports and all leaders of young people." from the Foreword by Bob Huggins "This book is a great source of information for any coach or interested reader about how to properly run a basketball program and lead young people. I personally have observed many of the ideas in this book, especially during Randy's career. In my years of high school and professional sports, I have not found a better blueprint for success than that which is presented in The Best-Laid Plans of a High School Basketball CEO." Dean Chance • 1964 Cy Young Award Winning Pitcher • All-Ohio and State Champion Basketball Player "I came to know Randy very well while recruiting one of his players. He runs as good a program as I have seen throughout the country. Randy and Matt Kramer have put together a great tool for design and example in how to lead a high school basketball program from top to bottom. The Best-Laid Plans comes to you with my highest recommendation. Brad Brownell • Head Men's Basketball Coach • Clemson University A leadership book, a book that offers tips on how to run a sports program from kindergarten through high school, an inspirational underdog story-The Best-Laid Plans of a High School Basketball CEO is all of the above and more. Here's a sample: Matt Kramer's boys' basketball team from Navarre Fairless High School was perhaps the worst in the Canton (Ohio) area, finishing 3-19 in 2004; in 2005, he was sitting on a coaching "hot seat" at 0-12 in the middle of January. His program and his career were left for dead... ...Twenty-six months later, Coach Kramer was standing on a ladder in the Canton Memorial Field House cutting down the nets after his Fairless team won the prestigious Canton Division-II District Championship Game in overtime and earned a spot in Ohio's Division-II "Sweet-16". Miracle? No, it happened with hard work, a little luck, and the mentoring of a legendary 500-win coach, Randy Montgomery-ideas that are now shared here in The Best-Laid Plans of a High School Basketball CEO. Matt Kramer Born the son of a basketball coach on July 16, 1969, Matt Kramer spent his childhood in a gym by Dan Kamer's side watching him run the program at Archbishop Hoban High School in Akron (Ohio). Kramer went on to play at Hoban, graduating in 1987, then went on to a two-year career as an NCAA Division-III collegiate basketball player at The College of Wooster for legendary coach Steve Moore. After transferring to Mount Union College in the fall of 1989, he incurred a back injury that ended his playing career and sent him down a career path in coaching and education. Married to his wife Christine since 1996 and father of three-sons Luke and Landon, and daughter Olivia-Matt Kramer shares ideas and stories here that range from being inspirational to heart-breaking, illustrating the roller-coaster ride a twenty-one-year career in coaching can be. Randy Montgomery A Hall-of-Fame high school basketball coach, and a disciple and close friend of West Virginia University head coach Bob Huggins, Randy Montgomery has spent over three decades using his innovative approach to lead two high school programs-Wooster Triway and North Canton Hoover-to elite status.Author: Matt Kramer, Randy Montgomery Paperback: 180 pages Company: Dog Ear Publishing, LLC (2012-02-06) ISBN: 1457508087 List Price: $18.00 Amazon Price: $17.30 Used Price: $83.76 
An amazing and captivating story of how a kid on a farm in the depression years who never played the game rose to the pinnacle of the high school coaching profession in the basketball arena. Recognized as one of the best by his peers and former players, Dusty Carter wound his way from the hills of Clay County, Alabama into the Alabama High School Athletic Association Coaches Hall of Fame. During his journey, he endeared himself to those along the way--his family, his coaching colleagues, and his former players. This is his story of that pilgrimage, told through the mouths of those he touched along the way.Author: Bob Hodges Paperback: 202 pages Company: iUniverse, Inc.
