Quotes from Kenny Moore

The ancient Greeks, Bowman said, echoing his response to the Munich terror, believed the Olympic arena so sacred they stopped their wars for them. Now we believe our wars are so sacred we sacrifice Olympics for them.

Keeping vivid both the story of Pre and the truths Bowman held to be vital-namely, that we are all physical entities, that we all have the ability to get better, but to do that we have to accept our limits at any given moment and work within them. Great coaches are great because they see and help transcend those limits. If that is not an immortal message, it should be.
