“Sandy Bodecker was one of the Nike greats. He took soccer from being nothing to the leading sport in our portfolio. He took skate from nothing to the significant portion of the business that it is. All of those things were remarkable in their own right and would have been an achievement by themselves, and yet he did all of them. I think looking at his legacy, it’s simply put it this way: what would Nike be without Sandy Bodecker? It wouldn’t be what it is. It wouldn’t be as good.” – Phil Knight
