This is the story of four HS seniors in their last year of their swim team. The team will be abolished after this year. Suddenly in November their coach informs them of an intense training 5 day training session called Stotan in the week between Christmas and New Years. It is a super intense, body draining session that would bind the 4 of them together, not only physically, but emotionally. Now that they are all Stotans, they have to finish a VERY challenging senior year. This power 261 page story tells how rigorous sports training can help make men out of boys and help them face most any challenge in life they run into. At times the story is a little slow, but don't miss this one!
