"This book is the result of a series of articles that appeared in Silent Sports. The response was so positive that this book, the first ever published by Silent Sports, is the result. The purpose of those articles was to update cross country ski training in the light of modern scientific principles. While this material was available to the elite, it had not filtered down to the general public.

"My goal was to take this rather complex area and boil it down into a useful and readable form for the skier who did not have access to the high-tech "in crowd." I hope you will find this was successful. And along the way we'll see that owning state-of-the-art equipment and using it to the fullest potential may be entirely different matters."

Lee Borowski from Optimal Cross Country Ski Training: Update your skiing for the 21st century.

"What he told me was always detailed, and always specific – but at the same time, it was always very simple. And it was never repetitive. Lee has no fear of taking an approach to things in a way unlike anyone else, as long as he's confident that the end result will be the one he wants.
"And that's what makes Lee such a powerful coach. What he says can be simple because what he says is always anchored in principles that don't change. The principles of physics, physiology and education that he applies to skiing are consistent, and he never strays from what he knows works.

"The more I worked with Lee, the better I became. And the better I got, more people recognized the great work Lee was doing. He was honored as America's best ski coach, and he saw me make Olympic teams and win national titles using what he taught me. I've even heard people call him a legend, and I'd never stand to correct anyone on that. He taught me a lot of things, and he taught them to me simply. Those things would take many winters to recount. This book is a great start."
