Ken WillemsThe Art of Coaching High School Cross Country

Great book. Easy to read...read it in one sitting. Underlined a lot. Thank you for writing this Coach Willems. I will be striving to be a COACH similar to how you have so thoughtfully laid it out.

This experienced and highly successful coach outlines the nitty-gritty of team practice organization, dealing with parents, handouts for runners and parents, meet preparation, and even how meets are scored. Of even more value, he explores the psychology and motivations of high school runners. How to get the best from the many and varied talent levels of high school student athletes is a huge part of this book and makes it a great read for any cross country coach.

This book offers insightful coaching tips for high school cross country. I learned a lot and am glad I read it.

This is an excellent book and easy read.

A very informative yet entertaining book from someone that knows high school cross country. It's a short, very easy book to read that can be used as a refresher each year before the season starts for athletes, coaches, and parents. This book is not just for the cross country coach. There are many good tips on coaching in general that can be used regardless of your sport.

This book was written by someone experienced in coaching and who loves the sport. It is full of useful tips and stories! I will definitely refer back to this book in years to come.
