Mark Spitz: The Extraordinary Life of an Olympic Champion
Available July 1. This is the first authorized biography of Olympic legend Mark Spitz, who won seven gold medals in the 1972 Games. The book follows Spitz’s rollercoaster career, from his years as an age group prodigy in California to four years as an NCAA standout at Indiana University to his Olympic career and the lucrative endorsements that followed.
Old and new fans of Spitz will appreciate the depth and detail in this incredible story, written by Richard Foster, the president of United States Aquatic Sports.
The book contains recollections from Spitz, his coaches and competitors, including three-time Olympian Gary Hall, coach Sherm Chavoor and rival Doug Russell.

About Coach Pete
Hi, this is Coach Pete Spagnuolo. I have recently retired from a long and successful career of over 40+ years of coaching. During those years, I have developed Junior Olympic, Sectional, and Zone Champions. I am an active member of the American Swim Coaches Association and am a Certified US Swim Coach.
I have recently relocated to Loveland, Colorado, leaving sunny Fort Lauderdale, Florida where I was the head Age Group Coach for Team Weston Aquatics. I have coached national and international swimmers with world renowned U.S. Olympic Coach Jack Nelson at the Swimming Hall of Fame, Canadian Olympic Coach Nick Baker of Peak Performance Swim Camps, and Venezuelan National Team Coach, Tomas Victoria at Team Weston. I have extensive knowledge and experience in teaching stroke technique and stroke development.
In addition to being an age group coach, I am also a Masters swim coach and triathlete coach . I have coached three Hawaii Ironman Finalists and have been the personal coach of Jennifer Magnission, one of Florida’s top female triathletes.
I am writing this blog to share my wealth of experience and knowledge with fellow coaches, swimmers and swim parents. I hope you enjoy my posts and find them useful in your training and swimming careers.
