When Bill Koch won the first-ever U.S. Olympic medal in Nordic skiing at the 1976 Innsbruck Games, Marty Hall was the coach behind the athlete. But Hall’s successes extend well before and long after Kochie’s silver medal, including having built the U.S. women’s team from the ground up beginning in 1969 with athletes like Allison Owens and Martha Rockwell and coaching the Canadian National Team. A recent Ski Hall of Fame inductee in both the U.S. and Canada, Marty Hall reflects on the pivotal changes across 50 years of coaching, the controversy he caused by speaking out about doping in the ’80s and his predictions for the future of U.S. women’s team.
