About this product

Product Information

Bowerman and the Men of Oregon No man has affected more runners in more ways than Bill Bowerman. During his 24-year tenure as track coach at the University of Oregon, he won four national team titles and his athletes set 13 world and 22 American records. He also ignited the jogging boom, invented the waffle-sole running shoe that helped establish Nike, and coached the US track and field team at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games With the full cooperation of the Bowerman family and Nike, plus years of taped interviews with friends, relatives, students, and competitors, two-time Olympic marathoner Kenny Moore - himself one of Bowerman's champion athletes - brilliantly re-creates the legendary track coach's life.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages. I’ll definitely make another purchase soon! Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!

    great book, good read for runners and non-runners alike. this books lays out the entire life of Bowerman and of course the early years of a little shoe company named Nike. takes you through his coaching of the Olympic teams, the great runners of the University of Oregon like Prefontaine!

  • Fascinating! Lots of photos and Oregon History.

    I borrowed this book from and friend and now I bought one for my personal library. I really enjoyed the history about Bowerman, Nike, Fossil, track, everything. Great photos and lots of them. A really engrossing read. If you like track or history or biographies, there is something here for everyone.
