Momentum: Chasing the Olympic Dream

Used Book in Good Condition

Here's a big "Let's ski!" sale on "the best XC ski read ever!" (Now only $9.95 -- almost half off the list price of $17.95.)

Pete Vordenberg was the Head Coach of the US XC program. He has also been a favorite writer in XC ski magazines. "Momentum" is a memoir of life as an Olympian as well as of being a kid taking his early steps toward national victory. Bob Gregg, editor, Master Skier magazine, said it was the best XC ski book ever. The insights into life as a junior skier are particularly rewarding, as it's a time not often covered in sports writing. Vordenberg opens up the skiing life in a way we haven't seen before. He puts us inside the globe-traveling goal of striving for American gold in XC. "It is not a retelling of the little engine that could, but why the little engine even tried."

In addition to being Head Coach, Vordenberg was a 2-time Olympian and a National Champion. Recently, the US has been achieving worldclass results for the first time in decades!

Includes dozens of black & white photos.
