The book is a big one. It has more than 400 pages of copy and photos, another 21 pages of records and seven pages of footnotes. In other words, it's a track junkie's delight. It should also find its place on the bookshelves of thousands of Razorback fans statewide even if track isn't their favorite sport. --Rex Nelson, Sporting Life Arkansas John McDonnell is not only one of the greatest track and cross-country coaches ever but a national treasure whose influence on the sport and on the young men he's nurtured will last for generations. McDonnell's life story illuminates the subtle ways in which he acquired and expanded on the knowledge that led to a record number of NCAA titles while gaining insights into both the psychology and physiology that produced peak performances. A fascinating book. --Marc Bloom, track and field journalist and author of God on the Starting Line A fascinating inside look at the life and career of John McDonnell, the greatest NCAA coach ever in any sport. --Alberto Salazar, three-time winner of the New York Marathon and author of 14 Minutes: A Running Legend's Life and Death and Life
