Review # 1 was written on 2013-04-11 00:00:00 Richard Taylor In the book Finding their stride is about Sally Point and she is a runner, teacher and also a coach. In this story she is talking about her first year of coaching co-ed cross country team to be victorious both on and off the course. This is a motivating fairytale of driven athletes that are determined for success. Point shares moments of her running career at Moravian Academy. This book is her talking about running and her respect for all athletes. While her boys cross country struggles her girls team soars going from first to last. This book shows how good sports and athletes really are. Point was very big on her cross country team on teaching excellence. This book is about competition and talking about the heart of an athlete and this seems an intriguing book to all people especially athletes. This book had a good varied of talking about her personal experiences and her coaching career. Overall if you are into running and even into a good dramatic and heartwarming story I suggest reading this one.
