Summary:
"The extraordinary story of the small
Vermont
town
that has likely produced more Olympians per capita than any other place in the country--and whose citizens provide a model for achieving
excellence
while leading a well-rounded life.
Norwich
, a charming
Vermont
town
of roughly three thousand residents, has sent an athlete to almost every Winter Olympics for the past thirty years--and three times that athlete has returned with a medal. How does
Norwich
do it? To answer this question, New York Times reporter Karen Crouse moved to
Vermont
, immersing herself in the lives of
Norwich
Olympians past and present. There, amidst the organic farms and clapboard colonial buildings, she discovered a culture that'
s
the opposite of the hypercompetitive schoolyard of today'
s
tiger moms and eagle dads. In
Norwich
, kids aren't cut from teams. They don't specialize in a single sport, and they even root for their rivals. What'
s
more, their hands-off parents encourage them to simply enjoy themselves. Making it to the Olympics is seen not as the pinnacle of an athlete'
s
career but as a fun stop on the way to achieving other, longer-lasting dreams.
Norwich
, Crouse realized, wasn't just raising better athletes than the rest of America; it was raising happier, healthier kids. Full of inspiring stories of Olympians who excelled on and off the sports field--and had a blast doing so--Norwich is the book for every parent who wants to raise kids to be levelheaded, fulfilled, and successful"--From publisher.
