Diving Dream to Olympic Team is the fascinating story of 1968
Olympic diver Keith Russell. At the age of 20, Keith was the
youngest athlete ever named the world's best diver by an
international poll of coaches. Sports Illustrated named him to win
the gold medal at the 1968 Olympics, where he was the only American
to qualify in both the springboard and platform events. But the
controversial platform finals proved to be more of a test of inner
strength than athletic skill. By the time he retired from
competition after the 1976 Olympic Trials, Keith was a six-time
National Champion, World University Games Champion, and World
Championship medalist.
Since his retirement from diving, Keith has been coaching and
grooming national champions and Olympians. The former President of
the United States Professional Diving Coaches Association, Inc.,
Keith coached the U.S. National Teams at the 1999 and 2001 World
Student University Games. He recently represented the United States
at the 2008 Beijing Olympics as the only American diving judge.
This is a feel-good story that will leave readers deeply
satisfied and uplifted as they learn about one man's incredible
struggles and astonishing achievements in one of the world's
favorite sports.
