The Science of Swimming [Hardcover]

    Duke Craig has been a star since high school. Never mind the physical beating he has taken all those years. Through college and then into the pros, his life has been exemplary. Always he has done right thing, the correct thing, an All American in every sense of the term. He has been a dazzling player, admired by his teammates, by the team's coaches and owners, and adored by fans. Then he meets another woman.

    

    This book is his story. The style may startle the reader at first. Hashim never learned to write English, or even speak it in the textbook fashion. So he "talked" the book in a great number of sessions, in the court and out of it, with Richard E. Randall, one of his students and a professional writer. The collaboration worked well. The book gives Hashim as he actually thinks and talks. It gives detailed instruction on the Khan grip, stroke, stance, court strategy, ploys, and favorite combination shots, plus a wealth of observations on fitness, stamina, and gamesmanship.
