| Summary: | "What makes a great team? This account of the dramatic rise of the U.S. women's cross-country ski team, winners of eight medals at three world championships over the last five years, paints a vivid picture of the obstacles that America's female athletes must overcome, not just to ski with the world's best, but to beat them. In a sport where U.S. women have toiled for decades, the development of this world-class team attests to the power of a transformational leader, a coach who connects with his athletes, the super-fast individual skiers who are also conscientious teammates -- and a bit of good luck."--Page 4 of cover. |
