Getting Impressed by Steve Prefontaine
Steve Prefontaine discovered working, or maybe it discovered him.
Steve was bullied as a child and spent the remainder of his life championing underdogs.
He had spoken German as a child (his Mother was German) and was small, so he was picked on.
Steve didn’t qualify for his state meet-in monitor in highschool throughout his sophomore 12 months. His coach, Walt McClure, Jr., advised author Tom Jordan
within the seminal ebook, “Pre!” that Pre went from a superb runner to a devoted and targeted runner throughout the summer season of his sophomore 12 months.
Two years later, as a highschool senior at Marshfield Excessive, Steve Prefontaine broke the highschool file for the two miles along with his 8:41.5.
What are you able to be taught from Pre?
Figuring out that lots of arduous work and dedication gave Steve Prefontaine his success.
Be like Pre, run every day, and get stronger over the summer season!
