Bode Miller seems to have it all.
He is 32-years old, from New Hampshire, and and this is probably his last Olympic appearance as an athlete. His name is Bode (rhymes with Cody) Miller.
Bode talked with Matt Lauer on the Today show.
He did not doing well in Torini in 2006 when expectations were high. He made headlines and was criticized for his partying. He did not win any medals. He is hoping to turn his reputation around when he gets on the ski slope in Vancouver.
Miller's autobiography, Bode: Go Fast, Be Good, Have Fun, co-written with his friend Jack McEnany, was published in 2005.
Bode became the first American alpine skier since Tommy Moe to endorse a video game when Bode Miller Alpine Racing was released for mobile phones in 2006. Then came Bode Miller Alpine Skiing for Playstation 2 and Windows. In 2006 Miller was the subject of a biographical film, Flying Downhill. The film is an in-depth look at Bode, the people around him, and his philosophy.
In 2007 Miller broke away from the U.S. Ski Team and formed his independent "Team America" for the 2008 season. This allowed him fewer distractions, increased autonomy and responsibility. He got focused and won his second overall World Cup.
