George SheehanInternationally known

as the Runner’s Philosopher in 1970’s & 1980’s

He defined the right

brain as philosophic and the left brain as practical.

Dr. George Sheehan Runner’s Philosopher

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

"Once you have decided that winning isn't everything, you become a winner.“

Ms. Duke Philosophy with the help of George Sheehan

"No matter how old I get, sports remain one of life's most rewarding experiences.My movements become slower and slower, but the experience of the sport is unchanged:each game a drama, each game a challenge, each game stretching me in one way oranother, and each sport movement telling me more about myself and others.”
