Life took Desmond “Coach Dez” Dunham down an unpaved path toward both manhood and coaching, testing his spirit, humility, and purpose. Now a nationally recognized high school coach, Running Against The Odds chronicles Dunham’s journey to finding his passion within youth sports, culminating at the 2007 Penn Relays – one of the most defining moments of his illustrious running career.
In this impassioned coming-of-age memoir, Dunham recounts his turbulent childhood, filled with challenges in economically-distressed Gary, Indiana. Despite constant rejection and disappointment from a distant, alcoholic father, Dunham persevered, attended Howard University, and found his passion on the track with key support along the way.
From humble beginnings with the odds stacked against him, Dunham’s story shows that underdogs prevail.
