4.9/5 (31572 ratings)

Description:As inconceivable as it would be in the world of sports today, Robert John Herman Kiphuth, a high school graduate, self-educated in exercise physiology, anatomy, and swimming, emerged as one of the most successful and well-respected swim coaches in the world. His success at Yale, where he amassed a 528-12 dual-meet record, was unprecedented. Kiphuth’s Bulldogs, in 18 NCAA Championship appearances from 1937 to 1959, earned four titles, six runner-up honors, and eight additional top-six finishes. All of this was accomplished without the aid of athletic scholarships.Bob Kiphuth was a pioneer who opened the doors of administrative and political arenas to the swimming coach. He was not only a cultured, intellectual man of charm, but also a human dynamo of activity. He augmented his expertise with impeccable manners, and he possessed a tremendous enthusiasm for everyone and everything. He loved people and performances, but he loved best the performing people.Kiphuth was instrumental in showcasing the sport of swimming to national and worldwide audiences, including attending every Olympic Games from 1924 through 1960, either as a FINA official or as head coach. President Kennedy nominated Kiphuth for the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the Emperor of Japan bestowed on him the Sacred Treasure – Third Class for his appreciation of Japanese culture.Coach Kiphuth firmly believed that the virtues of honesty, integrity, and fair play, combined with hard work, marked the most honest path to success. His message, that one should pursue a life of service, rather than the almighty dollar, never changed. His dedication to the task of raising the standards and status of competitive swimming is revealed in the fruits of his labor.Perhaps New Haven Register reporter Bill Ahern stated it “There will be no phase of his life which will not mourn his death.” Ahern went on to “In swimming, he was the widest known; in physical education, he was the authority of his generation; in politics, he was the toast of kingdoms and republics; in the arts, he was a self-taught expert.”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
