About this title

Synopsis

Authors Ben Rosario and Jim Linhares unleash the secrets to building a high school cross country dynasty in this incredibly unique book on coaching. They cover everything from pre-season parent meetings to post-season awards banquets, as well as how to train and peak for Championship meets. In between, Linhares shares stories of success (and failure) from his 25 year career.

About the Author

Ben Rosario- Ben has been just about everything possible in the running industry. As an athlete he ran professionally for the Hansons Brooks Distance Project where he was the youngest qualifier at the 2004 Olympic Trials Marathon. In 2005, he was 2nd at the USA Marathon Championships. He then co-founded Big River Running Company in 2006 in Saint Louis, Mo. Big River quickly became one of the top stores in the country, earning the Running Network's "Top 50 Stores" honor every year of its existence. Ben sold his half of Big River in 2012 and moved to Flagstaff, Ariz. In 2014 he and his wife Jen launched Northern Arizona Elite, a professional distance running team of their own. Now sponsored by HOKA ONE ONE, the group has become one of the best in the country and includes several Olympic hopefuls. Jim Linhares- Jim currently serves as the Assistant Principal for Mission at Saint Louis University High School [SLUH]. From 1983 to 2009 he served as the school's head cross country coach, winning three Missouri State Championships and establishing a tradition of excellence that continues today. He first fell in love with running during his own teenage years under the guidance of legendary coach Ron Jorgenson at Prep North HS. In 2010 he was elected to the Mo. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Hall of Fame after a 27-year career that saw his teams finish in the top ten at the State Meet 17 times, in the top four eight times and of course the three Championships. He also served as head track coach at SLUH from 2004 through 2009, winning the State Championship in 2004. Jim's life outside of running includes his wife, Mary, and their three children; Andrew, David and Will. All three ran for Jim at SLUH. His work now includes "coaching" faculty members, being involved in the hiring process for new staff members and doing strategic planning for the school. So in many ways, his work as a motivator and leader continues today.
