Book excerpt: In 1976 Stephen Heidenreich was the top candidate to make the Olympic team that year. Stephen anchored the Indiana University 4-mile relay team to a world indoor record in 1974. In 1975, he ran eight sub-4 minute miles. In 1976, he was the first Big Ten runner to run a 4-minute flat mile indoors. The Olympics was his next challenge. Then a near-fatal hit-and-run accident while he was training changed his life forever. His neurosurgeon gave him a five percent chance of survival with little hope of ever recovering beyond a vegetative state.Despite these unfavorable odds, Heidenreich completed a Master of Business Administration, a Master of Science in Health Administration, and a Master's in Education specializing in Special Education. He even trained for the 1980 Moscow Olympics. By applying the world-class athletic training and skills that he learned while training under three Olympic Track and Field Coaches in his recovery and life, Stephen was able to beat the medical odds and succeed in academics, business, and life.
