A word for athletes and warriors
This is from a Nike ad two decades ago. Still fabulous for Warriors at Newbury Park Martial Arts Center:
94 year old swimmers.
89 year old weightlifters.
99 year old marathoners.
The back of Sports Illustrated is full of them.
People who forgot to retire.
And never got old.
People who realized: It’s easier to keep going if you never stop. Get up. Get out. Build up muscle. Get rid of flab. Go back to school. Sell the TV. Master the curveball. Pound a bag. Rebuild an engine. Jump-start a career. Bench press four big plates. Dig for fossils. Bicycle across Canada. Save an endangered species-yourself. The only one who can tell you you can’t, is you. And you don’t have to listen.
