His mother's parents owned and started the Tamarack Tennis Camp, and he has played [[tennis]] and [[football (soccer)|soccer]] since childhood.{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}} Miller first gained widespread recognition after winning two silver medals at the [[Alpine skiing at the 2002 Winter Olympics|2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics]] in the [[giant slalom]] and [[Alpine skiing combined|combined]] events, though he had been known to skiing fans since he burst onto the international scene as an 18-year-old in 1996. Miller is known for his reckless style, often risking crashes to increase his chances of winning a given race; in his book, ''Bode: Go Fast, Be Good, Have Fun,'' Miller stated that his goal as a skier was not to win medals, but rather to ski "as fast as the natural universe will allow." In 2006, Miller also became famous for his reclusive (but outspoken) personality and his attention-getting statements.{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}} ==Ski racing career== ===The Beginnings (1998–2001)=== Miller not only first appeared in the World Cup during the [[1998 Alpine Skiing World Cup|1998]] season but also represented the United States in the [[Alpine skiing at the 1998 Winter Olympics|1998 Nagano Olympics]], competing in both of the technical disciplines (giant slalom and slalom).<ref>{{cite web|title=Biography MILLER Bode|url=http://www.fis-ski.com/uk/604/613.html?sector=AL&competitorid=40317&type=result&category=ALL&season=1998&sort=&discipline=ALL&position=&place=&Submit=Search&rec_start=0&limit=100|publisher=FIS|access-date=April 9, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924144137/http://www.fis-ski.com/uk/604/613.html?sector=AL&competitorid=40317&type=result&category=ALL&season=1998&sort=&discipline=ALL&position=&place=&Submit=Search&rec_start=0&limit=100|archive-date=September 24, 2015|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref> In 1999, he also competed in super-G (which is considered a speed discipline, not a technical one) and represented the U.S. in all three events at the [[FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 1999|World Ski Championships]] at [[Birds of Prey (ski course)|Beaver Creek]], with a best finish of 8th in slalom. He finally achieved a podium in a giant slalom at [[Val d'Isère]] on December 17, 2000 (placing third), but then only competed in super-G at the 2001 [[FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 1999|World Ski Championships]]; he crashed during the downhill portion of the combined and tore knee ligaments, which ended his competition.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.usskiteam.com/alpine/athletes/athlete?athleteId=1243 |title=Bode Miller biography |publisher=[[US Ski Team]] |year=2010 |access-date=2010-02-18 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100216142933/http://www.usskiteam.com/alpine/athletes/athlete?athleteId=1243 |archive-date=February 16, 2010 }}</ref> ===Double Silver (2002)=== During this season, Miller began regularly competing in downhill, making him a five-event skier on the World Cup circuit, although he was still considered a technical specialist. Miller won his first World Cup race on December 29, 2001, taking the [[giant slalom]] at [[Val-d'Isère]], and then followed it up the next day with another win in the slalom at [[Madonna di Campiglio]]. He would go on to win two more slalom races in January 2002, along with a pair of silver medals at the [[Alpine skiing at the 2002 Winter Olympics|2002 Winter Olympics]] in February, thus establishing himself as the top racer on the [[United States Ski Team|U.S. Ski Team]]. Miller won his first ever Olympic medal on February 13, in the [[Alpine skiing at the 2002 Winter Olympics – Men's combined|combined]] event. He was 15th after the downhill portion losing 2.44 seconds to [[Kjetil André Aamodt]]. He then put a remarkable second run of the slalom portion to finish second overall just 0.28 behind Aamodt. Later on Miller won a second silver medal, this time in the [[Alpine skiing at the 2002 Winter Olympics – Men's giant slalom|giant slalom]] where he lost only to [[Stephan Eberharter]] of Austria. Miller was on a verge of winning medals in all disciplines he had entered at the Olympics, while he was second after first run of the [[Alpine skiing at the 2002 Winter Olympics – Men's slalom|slalom]] race. At the starting gate before his final run Miller had already a huge advantage of 1.79 seconds over then leading [[Sébastien Amiez]]. Instead of having a careful run to secure at least another silver medal, Miller decided to push for a gold. The tactics resulted in a fall and missed gate, which caused him to finish far behind the medal positions.<ref name="2002 Olympics">{{cite web|url=http://www.sptimes.com/2002/02/24/Olympics/Miller__No_medal_and_.shtml|title=Miller: No medal and no regrets|publisher=St.Petersburg Times|date=February 22, 2002}}</ref> This was his final season on [[Fischer (company)|Fischer]] skis; he switched to [[Skis Rossignol|Rossignol]] following the season's completion. ===Becoming a World Cup Champion (2003–2005)=== Miller challenged for the [[2003 Alpine Skiing World Cup|2003 World Cup]] overall title but fell just short, finishing second to [[Stephan Eberharter]] of Austria. At the [[FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 2003|2003 World Championships]] in [[St. Moritz]], Switzerland, Miller won three medals: gold in [[giant slalom]] and combined, and silver in [[super-G]]. He also won two other giant slaloms during the season. In the [[2004 Alpine Skiing World Cup|2004]] season, Miller won World Cup titles in two disciplines: [[giant slalom]] and [[Alpine skiing combined|combined]], but placed fourth in the competition for the overall title. He won six World Cup races: three giant slaloms, two combineds and one slalom. After the season, Miller switched to [[Atomic Skis|Atomic skis]]. Miller won his first overall World Cup title in [[2005 Alpine Skiing World Cup|2005]], defeating Austrians [[Benjamin Raich]] and [[Hermann Maier]]. He made history early in the season by winning at least one race in each of the four standard World Cup disciplines: [[Slalom skiing|slalom]], [[giant slalom]], [[super-G]] and [[Downhill (ski competition)|downhill]]. In winning a slalom in [[Sestriere]] on December 13, he joined [[Marc Girardelli]] of Luxembourg, who had been the first man to accomplish this feat in [[1989 Alpine Skiing World Cup|1989]]. Miller accomplished the feat in less time than any previous ski racer, male or female; the victory was his sixth of the season after only ten races. At the [[FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 2005|2005 World Championships]] in [[Bormio]], Italy, he won two gold medals, in [[super-G]] and [[Downhill (ski competition)|downhill]]. In the downhill portion of the combined, he lost a ski 16 seconds into the race, but decided to continue down the course nevertheless at speeds up to 83 km/h on one ski, before sliding out near the bottom nearly two minutes later.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LatVt6F8whQ |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/LatVt6F8whQ |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live|title=Bode miller one ski 2005 |website=[[YouTube]] |date=April 12, 2009 |access-date=2012-08-16}}{{cbignore}}</ref> ===Disappointment (2006)=== [[File:JO B Miller.jpg|thumb|200px|alt=Bode Miller 2006 Olympics|Miller in the [[Alpine skiing at the 2006 Winter Olympics – Men's giant slalom|giant slalom]]<br />at the [[Alpine skiing at the 2006 Winter Olympics|2006 Winter Olympics]] in Italy]] {{BLP unsourced section|date=December 2024}} Despite the hype surrounding Miller prior to the [[Alpine skiing at the 2006 Winter Olympics|2006 Winter Olympics]], every one of Miller's five medal bids in the [[Turin]] Games fell short: he finished a disappointing 5th in the [[Alpine skiing at the 2006 Winter Olympics – Men's downhill|downhill]], was disqualified – while in first place at the time – during the second leg of the [[Alpine skiing at the 2006 Winter Olympics – Men's combined|combined]] event, failed to finish the [[Alpine skiing at the 2006 Winter Olympics – Men's super-G|super-G]], tied for 6th in the [[Alpine skiing at the 2006 Winter Olympics – Men's giant slalom|giant slalom]], and had another DNF after missing a gate in the first run of the [[Alpine skiing at the 2006 Winter Olympics – Men's slalom|slalom]]. Nevertheless, Miller won two races during the season (a giant slalom and a super-G) and placed third for the season's overall World Cup title. At the 2006 U.S. National Championships following the World Cup season, Miller won the downhill and giant slalom titles. He switched to [[Head (company)|Head]] skis following the season's completion. Miller had [[prolotherapy]] treatments, an alternative treatment that has shown no effect in clinical trials, to the ligaments in his knee or knees in February 2006, with other ski team members, Bryon Friedman and [[Summer Sanders|Eric Schlopy]]. ===Independent World Cup Champion (2007–2009)=== Miller had four first-place finishes (two downhills and two super-Gs) in the early going of the [[2007 Alpine Skiing World Cup#Men|2007 World Cup]]. For the season, Miller finished 4th overall and won the [[super-G]] title. On May 12, 2007, Miller announced that he was leaving the [[United States Ski Team|U.S. Ski Team]]. He followed the precedent set by slalom skier [[Kristina Koznick]], who left the U.S. Ski Team following the [[2000 Alpine Skiing World Cup|2000]] season and raced the next six years for the U.S. as an independent. In [[2008 Alpine Skiing World Cup|2008]] Miller clinched his second overall championship at the World Cup finals in [[Bormio]], Italy. He missed a chance to also win the season's downhill title when bad weather prevented the season's last race from being run. Miller got his first win of the season at the Stelvio downhill in Bormio in December. On January 13, he won for the second year in a row the legendary [[Lauberhorn|Wengen downhill]], matching [[Phil Mahre]] as the most successful American skier with 27 World Cup victories. On January 20, he broke this record by winning the [[Hahnenkamm, Kitzbühel|Hahnenkamm]] [[Alpine skiing combined|combined]] event at [[Kitzbühel]]. On January 27, he won the first super combined in his career in [[Chamonix]] and took the lead in the [[2008 Alpine Skiing World Cup#Men|World Cup standings]]. On February 3, he won the super combined in [[Val d'Isère]], France, and took the combined title. On March 1, Bode got his sixth win of the season at [[Kvitfjell]], Norway, cementing his lead in the overall standings and closing to 5 points on [[Didier Cuche]] in downhill. At the end of this impressive season he was crowned overall champion. Miller responded to his World Cup success in 2008 with the worst season of his professional career, leading some to speculate that he might be "burned out."<ref name="Globe">Tony Chamberlain, [http://www.boston.com/sports/other_sports/skiing/articles/2009/02/26/vonn_and_miller_taking_divergent_trails/ Vonn and Miller taking divergent trails], ''[[The Boston Globe]]'', February 26, 2009.</ref> Miller failed to win a race for the first time in eight years and had only two official podium finishes, both seconds in downhill, to show for his season.

He had already won two silver medals and was in line for a third when he missed a gate. Instead of stopping, he hiked back up the course to retry the gate and finish.<ref name="slalom">{{cite news|url=https://www.sfgate.com/sports/knapp/article/BODE-MILLER-He-s-the-biggest-bust-in-Olympic-2503372.php |title=BODE MILLER: He's the biggest bust in Olympic history |author=Gwen Knapp |newspaper=San Francisco Chronicle |date=February 26, 2006 |access-date=2010-02-15}}</ref> That performance established Miller's reputation as a competitor who cares more about the way he skis rather than winning medals. He admitted that after the race: {{blockquote|text=It's the Olympics, you know. If I had backed off and I came down in fifth place or sixth place, I think I would have been really disappointed. I was going for the win. If it was somewhere else, maybe I would have had the ability to hold back a little bit more. But I want to go out and race my best race in front of my home crowd.<ref name="2002 Olympics"/>}} ===2006 Olympics controversy=== The good feeling generated by Miller's 2002 Olympic performance was quickly dissipated in 2006. On the program ''[[60 Minutes]]'', in January 2006, Miller described the act of skiing "wasted" and compared it to lawlessly driving while intoxicated.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10727859/ |title=Skiing drunk 'not easy,' Bode says – Winter Olympics |publisher=MSNBC |date=January 10, 2006 |access-date=2011-12-03 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080119201445/http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10727859/ |archive-date=January 19, 2008 }}</ref> Throughout the Olympics, Miller said, "I'm just trying to ski in a way that's exciting for me." In an interview shortly after his last race, he said that it had "been an awesome two weeks," and that he "got to party and socialize at an Olympic level." After an unapologetic Miller interview with [[Tom Brokaw]], [[Bob Costas]] concluded in a primetime editorial that Miller might finally get what he wanted: to be unceremoniously forgotten. Miller received negative coverage in the American and international media; editorials focused on his attitude of simply not caring about the Olympics or about his performance. Many perceived his "party at an Olympic level" attitude as a violation of the "Olympic Spirit." When Nike's 2006 advertising campaign urged consumers to "Join Bode," ''[[The Washington Post]]'' sportswriter Sally Jenkins asked, "Where? At the bar?" in reference to his well-publicized nights on the town in [[Sestriere]].<ref>Jenkins, Sally. [https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02/25/AR2006022501546.html "Only Medal For Bode Is Fool's Gold"], ''[[The Washington Post]]'', February 25, 2006. Retrieved February 9, 2008.</ref> He was even called the "biggest bust in Olympic history" for his performance.<ref name="slalom" /> Some have argued that Miller's management and PR team were partly to blame for his crash-and-burn publicity, pointing out that they facilitated the media blitz in the months leading up to the Olympics. This overexposure was bound to backfire, given Miller's known uneven commitment to performing. Miller himself said: {{blockquote|text=[The Olympic hype] is going to be a tough thing for me to manage. My actions are not always consistent. I'm super-mellow and laid back, but I'm always thinking and running 100,000 scenarios through my head.

Ultimately, the publicity "had been happening for a year, and it was just too much."<ref name="gold" /> By contrast, in 2010, he noted that he was not so proud of the medals themselves but of the "absolutely amazing" feeling when "you ... magically ski at your absolute best."<ref name="gold" /> He ended the 2010 Olympic Games as the most successful American skier and athlete overall. Miller was nominated for the [[Associated Press]]' [[Male Athlete of the Year]] award for 2010, but finished second to [[Drew Brees]] of the [[New Orleans Saints]] [[American football|football]] team thanks to votes cast for [[Kobe Bryant]] of the [[Los Angeles Lakers]] [[basketball]] team who finished third. ===2014 Olympics emotions=== Miller's surprisingly dominating performance in training for the downhill race helped to create a hype among press and fans, with his teammate [[Marco Sullivan]] saying that it was "his race to lose" and rival [[Kjetil Jansrud]] describing Miller's performance in trainings as "epic".

He originally started off on [[K2 Sports|K2]] skis, then raced on [[Fischer (company)|Fischer]] through the 2002 season. He switched to [[Skis Rossignol|Rossignol]] for two seasons (2003 and 2004), then [[Atomic Skis|Atomic]] for the following two (2005 and 2006).

This allowed him more control of his training, equipment, staff, and sponsors. With fewer distractions, increased autonomy, and responsibility, Miller improved his focus and won his second overall title. However, the next season (2009) was the worst of his career after he crashed hard in the Beaver Creek Downhill, injuring his heel, and Miller folded Team America at the end of 2009. Miller departed the [[2009 Alpine Skiing World Cup|2009 season]] before its completion and rejoined the US Ski Team in October 2009. ==Other sports== [[File:Bodemiller1.JPG|thumb|upright|Miller while playing for the [[Nashua Pride]] in 2007]] In 2002, Miller won [[ESPN on ABC|ABC Sports]]' ''[[Superstars (American TV program)|Superstars]]'' competition, a televised event that pits athletes from different sports against one another in a series of athletic contests. In 2009, he competed in a ''[[Superstars (American TV program)|Superstars]]'' team competition, which paired an athlete with a celebrity. Miller was paired with [[Paige Hemmis]] and they finished in second place. On July 29, 2006, Miller signed a one-day contract to play baseball for the [[Nashua Pride]] (Canadian-American League). He went 0–2 with two strikeouts, however he did make an acrobatic catch in left field, which earned national attention by being featured by ESPN,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/minorlbb/news/story?id=2515765 |title=Miller goes from black diamond to baseball diamond – Minor Leagues – ESPN |publisher=[[ESPN]] |date=July 11, 2006 |access-date=2011-12-03}}</ref> among others.
