Mark Guthrie is the men's track and field head coach at
the University of Wisconsin at La Crosse, where he maintains a
national championship-caliber program year after year. His teams
have won 17 Division III championships and 28 Wisconsin
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference titles since he took over the
program in 1986. Guthrie began his coaching career in 1975 at the
high school level, where he led his teams to three consecutive
state cross country championships. Guthrie's success earned him the
United States Track Coaches Association's National Coach of the
Year Award in 1994, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2003.
He was named Regional Coach of the Year seven times and is
currently the president of the USTCA for Division III. He and his
wife, Dawn, enjoy traveling, boating, and attending their
daughters' athletic events.
Mark has provided a valuable guide on the technical aspects of
track and field, but more importantly he has captured the soul of
coaching athletes in our sport. This book will help coaches at all
levels to coach the events better, to get their athletes to believe
in themselves, and to develop them physically, psychologically, and
emotionally. Gary Wilson
