I had always wanted to read this book because I have always heard how great a coach Bill Bowerman was. I learned much more from the book than I could have ever expected. Not only did I learn of him being a great coach but he was a much better person. I couldn't even choose one of my favorite stories of the book because the whole book just has so many! He helped establish Nike, which has become one of the most successful if not the most successful sporting company in the world. He also helpede get jogging started in Americfa so that most Americans could get in shape without trying to run fast. I would recommend this book to anyone who has ever wanted to learn about track and field and the University of Oregon.
