Clyde Hart – who spent 56 years coaching track and field for Baylor University – has directed his pupils to 17 Olympic medals and four world records over the decades. But would you believe that might be the eighth or ninth-most interesting thing about the man?
Hart’s incredible life journey carried him places he never expected to be. From teaching at Little Rock Central when the famed “Little Rock Nine” events played out in 1957, to being in downtown Dallas when President John F. Kennedy, Hart has often had a front row seat for America’s most memorable moments.
While universally acknowledged by his peers as the most successful 400-meter coach in track and field history, Hart also by sheer happenstance found himself employed as the speed coach for the U.S. Women’s Hockey Olympic Team, and working with a Breeder’s Cup-winning racehorse. To put it one way, Clyde Hart might be the real-life Forrest Gump.
A natural-born storyteller, Coach Hart takes readers on a captivating ride in Once Around is Enough.
