Bill Bowerman Quotes

There's no such thing as bad weather, just soft people.

Everything you need is already inside.

If you have a body, you are an athlete!

There is no bad weather, just soft runners.

Several of my critics have said, 'Bowerman just tacks up a piece of paper in the locker room and turns his runners loose.' They're partially right. I do give the athletes a relatively free rein and for good reason. One of my principles is? 'Don't overcoach.'

I still bother with runners I call hamburgers. They're never going to run any record times. But they can fulfill their own potential.
