Beyond Fast: How a Renegade Coach and His Unlikely High School Team Revolutionized Distance Running - Hardcover
Synopsis
The true story of a high school cross country team that went from obscurity to becoming the fastest squad the country, and perhaps the world, has ever seen, called "inspiring and entertaining" (Jerry Schumacher) and "a deliciously rich tale" (Neal Bascomb).
When Sean Brosnan arrived at Newbury Park High School in 2016, their cross country team hadn't so much as qualified for a California state championship in twenty-five years. Brosnan himself had never coached high schoolers, though he was no stranger to the sport. A collegiate All-American, he had spent years trying to chase his ambitions of becoming a professional runner, along the way learning from some of the most successful coaches in the country. From day one at Newbury Park, Brosnan made a promise: Give me your total commitment and I'll give you a state championship in four years. He did them one better: Brosnan's runners would take an unprecedented three consecutive national championships, smashing records, winning Division I scholarships, and representing their country in the Olympics. With expert insights and a deep love for the sport, Sean Brosnan's Beyond Fast offers a riveting chronicle of that journey. Tracing Newbury Park's early successes, their heartbreaking missteps, and the winding road that would lead them to running glory, he tells a story of guts, sacrifice, and determination. By turns heartbreaking and exhilarating, it reminds you that the only limits that matter are the ones you set for yourself."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
