This is the long-awaited reprint of the highly-acclaimed book
'Athletics: How to become a champion' by Percy Cerutty, world
renowned coach to Australia's greatest athlete, Herb Elliott,
winner of the 1500m at the Rome Olympics in 1960. First published
in 1960, this book, a classic in its time, has been out of print
for 50 years. The books is full of details and ideas for optimum
athletic training with specific advice for various distance and
field events within the track and field discipline. This book
garnered much praise when it was first published. Today's athlete
and coach has much to learn from the wisdom of this outspoken and
at time controversial figure. Cerutty describes the training regime
at his Portsea, Victoria, athletics camp. The book includes
historic images of a young Herb Elliott training under the master
coach. Republished with permission from the family of the late
coach, this book will inspire and encourage today's young athlete
who dreams of Olympic triumph, just as Herb Elliott did in 1960.
