You wouldn't think a tiny place like Caldwell, Ohio?a village with three traffic lights and a population under 2,000 in the Appalachian foothills ?-would become a cross country hotbed. But in the 1980's, a group of determined young runners from this small rural town, defied the odds, fought their way to the top, and went on to be recognized as the best high school boys cross country team in America.
Their journey to greatness wasn't solely based on athleticism. It was fueled by teamwork, commitment to excellence, challenging terrain, mental toughness, and the fearlessness to race against schools 10 times Caldwell's size.
In Too Small to Win you'll discover the true story of the Caldwell High School boys' Cross country team's improbable rise from 1983 through 1986 - the beginning of a dynasty. You'll learn about the exhilarating highs and heart-wrenching lows of their unforgettable race for greatness and the legacy they left behind.
The underdog story is recounted by Coach Ron Martin and the runners who have carried the lessons they learned in cross country into their personal and professional lives.
The book also includes Coach Martin's 10 "keys to success"- those factors that were critical to the team's remarkable progress.
This David-vs.-Goliath tale of triumph over adversity reminds us that size and circumstances alone do not determine our outcomes.
Don't miss this gripping tale of perseverance, grit, and triumph that will leave you awestruck and inspired!
