'UNDERSTAND YOURSELF'
Roger Bannister
June 27, 1955
"The aim of the athletic coach should not merely be to help his pupil to achieve a set performance in his event, to throw the discus 150 feet or to run a mile in 4 minutes 10 seconds. It should also be to show how, through experiencing the stress imposed by his event, he can understand and master his personality."
