The Open Water : Lessons in Navigating Perspective and Community (Hardcover)

In The Open Water, educator and triathlete Dr. Darryl S. Diggs, Jr., presents life lessons that can be found in the unlikeliest of places. Through endurance sports and school leadership, Dr. Diggs has learned that the trials of our personal and professional lives will intersect when we can push ourselves to the edge of our perceived limits. There, success can be found.

Diggs uses his experiences in triathlon to articulate the most significant challenge in the sport of triathlon for novice athletes. Amid political tension and pandemics, the greatest barrier in school leadership is both fear and perception. When navigating the open water of inequity and systemic change, we will never fully understand the unknown depths of oppression and isolation.
