Emphasis Preaching Journal

My college cross-country coach was a fine man and very successful in his field. But I could not imagine him ever running a four-and-a-half or five mile race with his more than two-hundred pound bulk! Currently, I know a college track and cross-country coach who keeps in shape by running with his boys. He not only tells them how to run. He shows them. He demonstrates the art with his own body. That has the additional benefit of the coach learning constantly what to teach by the successes, challenges, and frustrations of running that he himself experiences.
