"It will be found one of the basic assumptions of the present book entitled Fundamental of Track and Field is that best performances from track athletes and track coaches can be attained only after long consistent strenuous and intelligent work. There is no easy road to real achievement in this area any more than in any other area of human endeavour. A man gains in coaching knowledge in proportion to his willingness to pay for it in hard study and careful thought."(jacket)
