Do Not Forget!

"But don't forget my ideas are only what's been written down in history by the great people of the world who've gone before.
All I've done is condense the wisdom of the world into an attitude for athletics.
Athletics aren't just running, it's a way of life."
Percy Wells Cerutty


Percy Wells Cerruty was a voracious reader who had a huge personal library.
His books covered a wide variety of subjects,not just athletics.
He assimilated much of what he read and personally experienced into what later became known as his Stotan Philosophy.
He is shown above training the great Australian sprinter Betty Cuthbert at his International Training Center at Portsea on the coast of Australia.
Betty was a 1956 Olympic Gold medalist in the 100, 200, and 4x100 meter relay.
She was also (now get the time lapse here) a Gold medalist in the 400 meters at the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo.
Cerutty's words contained in his books continue to be relevant today.
Perhaps even more so judging by what I see being published for the athletic world in this 21th century.
