Starting At The Finish Line: The Coach Buehler Story

Narrated by Grant Hill. His office door simply says, “Track & Field Coach.” His life says infinitely more. Coach Al Buehler has touched and enriched the lives of countless students and athletes including Olympians Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Carl Lewis, Joan Benoit Samuelson, and John Carlos–and thousands more who have never owned a pair of track shoes. His career has spanned four Olympics and nearly sixty years at Duke University, where he effectively used the track and classroom as a place to create harmony among races, nations, and gender. "The tale of Al Buehler is bold and as inspiring as it is powerful", says J. Michael Falgoust of USA TODAY.
