Coaching Cross Country Successfully by Joe Newton
Here’s a nice little review of the book pulled from Amazon:
“Joe Newton is the GOLD STANDARD when it comes to coaching high school cross country. Year in and year out his teams challenge for state and national titles. This book is not as good as the “Long Green Line” but that is THE book on high school cross country. This book stands by itself as an excellent, practical guide for coach, fan and runner. It is broken into easy to read sections and full of interesting anecdotes. Joe Newton gives solid insight into his highly successful program.”
