Coach Willems emphasizes the human interaction that shaped the development of this highly successful program as he describes the fundamentals of his coaching, the organization of his program, the training, the traditions, and more. Willems illustrates these things through anecdotes about colleagues, athletes, and competitions. Coaching high school cross country is more than just teaching young people to run fast. At its best it is an art form.
