Athlete Comments & Reviews

“I love to keep going!”

“I have more time now with my work to do sport again, it’s the possibility to keep doing sport in a competitive way.”

“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.”

“Playing sport helps in daily life”

“I think competing is part of life. Life is all about competing, learning how to roll with the punches and get up and fight again for another day. And that’s what sports is all about.”
