Athlete Comments & Reviews
“We have so much fun and you share special moments together”
“You’re always among friends, and you have a lot of fun, and you cry together, you laugh together, you’re disappointed together.. But most of the time you just have fun.”
“I do many sports so I can choose what my body is capable of”
“You have to keep moving, I had a new start after my new hips at 60-61 so I’ve got another 15 years at least hopefully. Luckily I do a lot of sailing as well, and swimming. So there are other sports if I can’t play tennis any longer but I love to keep going for as long as possible.”
“Sport is a lifestyle for us”
“Sport is just a way of life for both of us. Couldn’t not do it. We’ll be back for more! Unfinished business.”
