The Athlete Makes Himself, The Coach Doesn't

It's Easier To Beg Forgiveness Than Ask Permission.

Don't Give Anything Away. Never Make It Easy For The Guys You Are Trying To Beat.

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.'

This Killing Of Israel Athletes Is An Act Of War. And If There's One Place That War Doesn't Belong, It's Here. 1200 Years. From 776 B.c. To 393 A.d., Your Fellow Olympians Laid Down Their Arms To Take Part In These Games. They Understood There Was More Honor In Out Running A Man Than In Killing Him. I Hope The Competition Will Resume, And If It Does, You Must Not Think That Running Or Throwing Or Jumping Is Frivelous. The Games Were Once Your Fellow Olympians Answer To War – Competition, Not Conquest. Now, They Must Be Your Answer.

There's No Such Thing As Bad Weather, Just Soft People.
