Rupp Wins -- 59:47 in Rome

The Spiritual element is a key factor for Coach Alberto and his disciple Galen.

Coach Alberto prays with the rosary to Mother Mary.

Coach Alberto is a very spiritual Catholic role model for all young boys.

It is time for Saint Alberto to pray to Mother Mary:

"It was like a volcano that was just building up to erupt," Troop says, "and we saw the complete eruption and the meltdown."

Go Alberto!!!

Coach/Saint Alberto's books are more inspirational than the Bible.

For example:

In 2007, after collapsing on a practice field at the Nike campus, champion marathoner Alberto Salazar's heart stopped beating for 14 minutes. Over the crucial moments that followed, rescuers administered CPR to feed oxygen to his brain and EMTs shocked his heart eight times with defibrillator paddles. He was clinically dead. But miraculously, Salazar was back at the Nike campus coaching his runners just nine days later.

Salazar had faced death before, but he survived that and numerous other harrowing episodes thanks to his raw physical talent, maniacal training habits, and sheer will, as well as―he strongly believes―divine grace.

In 14 Minutes, Salazar chronicles in spellbinding detail how a shy, skinny Cuban-American kid from the suburbs of Boston was transformed into the greatest marathon runner of his era. For the first time, he reveals his tempestuous relationship with his father, a former ally of Fidel Castro; his early running life in high school with the Greater Boston Track Club; his unhealthy obsession to train through pain; the dramatic wins in New York, Boston, and South Africa; and how surviving 14 minutes of death taught him to live again.

“14 Minutes is an inspirational account of a man who has fought with the Grim Reaper and won. Since he put on his first pair of running shoes, Alberto Salazar has been defying the odds. Through his memoir, people have the privilege to get to know this truly great man and walk away with a renewed appreciation for life.” ―Lance Armstrong, cancer survivor and 7-time Tour de France champion
