I am thrilled, after many rewritings, “Running on Faith: Championship Wisdom: Quotes, Motivations, & Devotions” (and Meditations) is now published.
This will likely be my ONLY post promoting this book.
I am greatly humbled and honored by this review from one of my childhood heroes.
“This book will be a best seller and every athlete should own a copy of the book. Keep up the excellent work.”
John Mason
Business Owner
1968 NAIA and AAU National Cross Country Champion
John’s Course Record at New York City’s Van Cortland Park stood for 20 years
Among the first 35 Americans to break the 4:00 Mile.
In Jr. High, Coach Jim Muck told of John running 16 miles in the bitter cold mornings, then returning for tough interval workouts in the afternoon.
The book’s quotes are from two Hall of Fame coaches & a businessman who have positively transformed the lives of tens of thousands; along with a few of my own.
The editor, Andrea Hitefield, and I were classmates at #DTS, including taking Christian Journalism together.
Lyle Claussen has taught @ innumerable local to national coaching clinics across America. At age 72, “I am still learning. You’re either learning or going backwards.”
In the same high school 3,200 Relay event in the mid-1980s, his varsity dropped the baton and held on to run 7:51 while his JV 3,200 Relay team lagged behind at 7:57!
Bill “Congo” Congleton: “Don’t be afraid to be great…” & “Depends on how good you want to be.”
K-State coaching great and retired Univ of Texas AD, DeLoss Dodds wrote, “Congo is better at coaching young people than anyone.”
Another K-State great and 1968 Olympian, Conrad Nightingale DVM, wrote of Congo’s passion and expectation of greatness in his Hall of Fame nomination letter for Congo.
Charlie Gibbs: “My only reputation is with the Lord.” “Get rid of those in-grown eyeballs…”
Charlie passed away in May 2020. His wisdom and encouragement were instrumental in this book’s completion.
