The Pentathlon family in the United States and worldwide is in mourning after the sad passing of Jack Daniels, a two-time Olympic medallist in Modern Pentathlon and one of most lauded running coaches in history, who died on September 12 at the age of 92.
Born in Detroit, Michigan on April 26, 1933, Daniels was still an infant when his family moved to the Bay Area of California. He spent almost his entire life devoted to sport as an athlete, an Olympian, a trail-blazing coach and exercise scientist, and an author.
With each passing day, we move forward with unwavering determination. Like any large family, our federation faces its share of internal challenges and differing opinions. While these can be testing, they also remind us of the passion everyone holds for the future of our sports.
