Athlete Comments & Reviews
“Sport gives you that united feeling”
“At some point sport doesn’t become team, it actually becomes family. It really is a united kind of feeling to come together to sweat, train and work hard for a goal and then be able to do that goal together creates that beautiful kind of team spirit and camaraderie that you can’t share in the office space or in daily life and that’s the beauty of what sport does.”
“I participate because I still can!”
“People say; why are you doing it, and I say: “because I can!””
“There are so many different athletes in age and nationality”
“This is a beautiful platform that the Masters Games has where these athletes can come from all different spectrums of life and come to participate in the Games.”
