Bowerman and the Men of Oregon

No man has affected more runners in additional tactics than Bill Bowerman. All through his 24-year tenure as track coach on 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 USA track and field team on the 1972 Munich Olympic Games

With the entire cooperation of the Bowerman circle of relatives and Nike, plus years of taped interviews with buddies, relatives, scholars, and competitors, two-time Olympic marathoner Kenny Moore – himself considered one of Bowerman’s champion athletes – brilliantly re-creates the legendary track coach’s life.
