This is the long-awaited reprint of the highly-acclaimed book 'Athletics: How to become a champion' by Percy Cerutty, world renowned coach to Australia's greatest athlete, Herb Elliott, winner of the 1500m at the Rome Olympics in 1960.

The books is full of details and ideas for optimum athletic training with specific advice for various distance and field events within the track and field discipline.

Republished with permission from the family of the late coach, this book will inspire and encourage today's young athlete who dreams of Olympic triumph, just as Herb Elliott did in 1960.

In order to be champion, you have to first want to be a champion. What does being a champion mean? In any walk of life, being a champion is not only winning a championship but also having a winning mentality and giving your all in everything you do. I'm referring to the attitude you train with, you learn with and do anything at all with, no matter how small, because you know that that it will help you achieve the goal of winning the championship. Being a champion is an attitude and not a goal. Being punctual for every appointment, for every training and giving your all each time is a question of attitude. Having the mentality of constant improvement, knowing that you don't know everything and that you aren't perfect either is the attitude of a champion. Establishing priorities in your life, sacrificing your happiness in the short term, paying attention to the small details and the basics is the attitude of a champion. Taking every adversity as an opportunity and never giving up, doing what you are supposed to do in a disciplined way, whether it's raining or you're sleepy or your head hurts or you just don't feel like it or any other excuse that you can come up with is the attitude of a champion. It is never quitting, no matter what the hardships are. It is getting up early every day to train, to study or to read. It is making the most of of your time, being grateful for everything you have and being humble enough to thank the Creator for all the gifts that have been bestowed on you. It is eating and sleeping well every day as if you were playing in the final game for a world championship. It is smiling no matter what the circumstances, accepting your mistakes and constantly learning from them. It is enjoying everything you do and doing it as if it were the last day of your life.

- Get in the zone - Join our team - Grow your dream - Fuel your need - Heed the Creed - Dare to become a Champion! Have you ever wondered how people become champions? Is it talent? Is it brains? Is it luck? Is it passion? Motivation? Hard work? Or is it something else? Something that perhaps you too could have or possess but just not know it? Geoff Colvin, author of Talent Is Overrated: What really separates world-class performance believes the answer lies inside two questions: what do you really want? And what do you really believe? He says, "Great performance is not reserved for a preordained few. It is available to you and to everyone." Listen! Every champion sooner or later discovers this. Along the way their belief turns into a vow, the vow into a pledge, and the pledge into a mission-to live as a champion. And it's all guided by a creed-a set of beliefs they follow, embody, and put in play. Living your life as a champion is a worthy goal, a challenging odyssey worthy of every ounce of effort you can put into it. Our goal is to help you do it; help you become the champion you were meant to be. What it takes is a dream, a plan, a will, a finish, and a creed. This is the purpose of Becoming Champions for Life. Champions do out of what they are inside. And we can't wait for you to come inside to take the ride of your life. We can't wait to see you make a difference, be a difference, become the difference. So what are you waiting for? Get in the zone. Join our team. Grow your dream. Feed your need on The Champion's Creed. And become a champion for life! Your time is now! Ron & Jeff Hostetler
