This "fun to read" and "honest" book is the story of Coach Mike Becker's journey from starting as the youngest coach in Florida High School Sports and NCAA Division I Track and Cross Country to being inducted into three Hall of Fames. His story telling, which span a half century, are a mixture of lessons learned, successes achieved and more than anything a revelation of the greatness of the human spirit. They are told from the heart.About The AuthorMike Becker has been a track and field coach in South Florida since his graduation from Princeton University in 1981.
