Athlete Comments & Reviews
“Seeing the older athletes, I’m like, that’s what I want to do!”
“The inspiration watching those in their 70s/80s, still out there running, I’m like, that’s what I want to do. There’s just no giving up.”
“We love to visit new places!”
“Our players love playing basketball, but they also love travel so this is an opportunity to marry those things together.”
“I’m positive about life again!”
I’m really proud of myself I was able to get myself back into a place in sport where I was, and be positive about life again. At the age of 62 right now, I’m so blessed. Beyond, I mean, I get emotional.
