Quotes from George A. Sheehan

To make your life a work of art, you must have the material to work with. The race, any race, is just such an experience.

Anything that changes your values changes your behavior.

Why race? The need to be tested, perhaps; the need to take risks; and the chance to be number one.

To keep from decaying, to be a winner, the athlete must accept pain - not only accept it, but look for it, live with it, learn not to fear it.

Out on the roads there is fitness and self-discovery and the persons we were destined to be.

Fitness is just a stage you pass through on the way to becoming a racer.

Fitness has to be fun. If it is not play there will be no fitness. Play, you see, is where the process. Fitness is merely the product.
