Picture

Praise for 
The Competitive Edge

"We were impressed by this book when it first came out in 1984. Never before had such a combination of credentials been brought to bear on the subject: the mental side of distance running.
​Rich Elliott had been a national-class distance runner, was a successful coach, had made a comprehenseive study of the psychology of sport, and—wonder of wonders—he could write with clarity, intelligence, and imagination."
​   --Track and Field News

"It's still the best book I've ever seen for practical psychology for distance runners."
—Larry Wieczorek, ​former track & cross country coach,
University of Iowa

   
"Required reading for runners of all ages and ability levels."
   —Gary Wieneke, ​​former track & cross country coach,
​University of Illinois
