It is a winning recipe that has made this Track and Field Champion successful in the business world.

Oliver celebrates 23 years in his sports business this month. In 1989, he started Bags By Coach O, a company deeply rooted in track and field with specialized divisions serving all aspects of the sport and other athletic events. While strolling through his hometown of Columbus, GA, Oliver spotted a bag in a store window and immediately thought of modifying it for track athletes. "I remember seeing kids walking around at track meets carrying their shoes and other gear in their hands", Oliver remembered. "Developing a customized bag for track athletes seemed so obvious when I thought about it."
