unfashionable ideals of commitment, sacrifice, courage, and
faith."-Sports Illustrated

memory, and you will be better for it."-American Track &
Field
"At its core a spiritual book. It will inspire the reader who
values small works of goodness and the courage to face big
challenges."-Jewish Book World
"More than a story of different religions, Jewish and Catholic,
meeting on the cross-country course. There is an even more eternal
struggle: old versus new. Bloom preaches the value of pain, hard
work, suffering, and delayed gratification. His cross-country kids
are, well, kids. They want to have fun, chase girls, and enjoy the
loosey-goosey life. In Bloom's inspiring tale, both coach and kids
learn surprising lessons from each other."-Amby Burfoot, executive
editor of Runner's World
Marc Bloom, an observant Jew, winds up the coach of a local
Catholic high school cross-country team. The common ground he finds
between the two faiths helps to propel his team to a state
championship.
Marc Bloom, an award-winning journalist, is a features writer
