Kenny Moore is a better writer than a runner & that's saying something. Could always tell his distinctive style when he wrote for @SInow - I've always wanted to read his book on Bill Bowerman - Now is the time -publishersweekly.com/978-1-59486-19…
Kenny Moore's Bowerman Book starts with this Adam Gopnik quote - "A guru gives us himself; a teacher gives us his subject, and then ourselves." amazon.com/Bowerman-Men-O…
"We are all physical entities; we all have the ability to get better, but to do that we have to accept our limits at any given moment & work within them. Great coaches are great because they see & help transcend those limits." Kenny Moore - (Bill) "Bowerman & The Men of Oregon"
Bowerman on Training - Ah - so simple but yet so hard to master. 
Kenny Moore on Bill Bowerman's preference for coaching the "eager" athlete over the "gifted but casual" athletes. Great scouting lesson - don't think you're going to change a person's stripes as they get older.
Just a beautiful passage by Kenny Moore on what it takes to set a world record or achieve athletic excellence. "Balance the arrogance of your ambition with the humility of your training."
Bill Bowerman on racing mentality - "Never Give up"
Bill Bowerman on gaining someone's attention - How do basketball coaches gain someone's attention - The coaches best friend - The bench.
"We dilute the word and usually demean the subject when we call someone a character." Kenny Moore - "Bill Bowerman & The Men of Oregon"
Bill Bowerman on training - Coming from a generation of coaches that preached to their athletes "No Pain, No Gain", Bowerman's "Underdo" (hard-easy method) philosophy is logical & sensical. Also value his emphasis on training the individual vs. group.
Bill Bowerman on Intelligent Training - Load Management advocates will appreciate his genius.
Kenny Moore reflecting on Bill Bowerman's training philosophy - Optimum vs. Maximum Training
Another viewpoint - Kenny Moore on Herb Elliott's (Olympic Gold Medalist - 1960 - 1500m" training - Can't just be fast have to be strong to get through the rounds to win Gold at the Olympics.
Kenny Moore once again on Balancing the arrogance of your ambition with the humility of your training in setting a world record.
Love Learning about Herb Elliott's dominance as a middle distance runner - Undefeated from 1957 - 1961 in 1500m or mile - Retired at age 22 - Flaming meteor youtube.com/watch?v=Pr0dWz…
Wonderful clip on Herb Elliott, Olympic Gold Medalist 1500M - 1960 Olympics talking about his thoughts during the race - learned to ignore negative voices inside his head during training. youtube.com/watch?v=Jf3IsK…
