Below the Surface


Below the Surface is a groundbreaking book published in 1998 by Brent Rutemiller about the administrative side of coaching that was hailed by USA Swimming as recommended reading for coaches and swim team officers. It was the first comprehensive collection of procedures and policies to unify a team's mission with its attitudes and expectations.
