"One day he (Marvin Goldberg - the author's coach) said to his cross-country team, "When you near the finish line tomorrow, I want you to sprint, even if no one is near you, and I want you to continue running a good pace for another quarter mile past the finish line."... It was meant to convince us that we had far more stamina than we believed we had. And furthermore, it was to teach us the importance of finishing any kind of race in life with vigor and to exceed the minimum requirements."
