Professional athletes typically reach peak performance in their mid- to late-20s, some into their 30s. Most are retired by the time they’re 40.

As for everybody else, most, people give up competitive sports after high school or college.

Some are content to just watch from the sidelines.

They can grow older and more sedentary in the process.

And then there are those who seem to defy the passages of time …

They are sprinters …

and marathoners …

and ultramarathoners …

Ironmen …

… and even Iron Nuns.

They are in the water …
![Page 13: Bookproposal](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5564b64bd8b42a7e178b490c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
…training to set new records.

on the courts and fields
![Page 15: Bookproposal](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5564b64bd8b42a7e178b490c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
And in the gyms.
![Page 16: Bookproposal](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5564b64bd8b42a7e178b490c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Bodies buffed
![Page 17: Bookproposal](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5564b64bd8b42a7e178b490c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
and flexed …
![Page 18: Bookproposal](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5564b64bd8b42a7e178b490c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
… and pretty flexible.
![Page 19: Bookproposal](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5564b64bd8b42a7e178b490c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Some live to 105.
![Page 20: Bookproposal](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5564b64bd8b42a7e178b490c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
This is a book about their inspiring journey – their physical struggles and amazing accomplishments.
![Page 21: Bookproposal](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5564b64bd8b42a7e178b490c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Some of these older athletes have always been active, while others waited until later in life. Each has a story to tell.
![Page 22: Bookproposal](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5564b64bd8b42a7e178b490c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
By staying active and competing in sports, they are keeping their bodies firm and fit, their minds sharp and lucid.
![Page 23: Bookproposal](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5564b64bd8b42a7e178b490c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
And they’re collecting a few accolades along the way.
![Page 24: Bookproposal](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5564b64bd8b42a7e178b490c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
All are waging a quiet revolution.

And many more are expected to join in, as baby boomers – 76 million strong – challenge the concept of aging.
![Page 26: Bookproposal](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5564b64bd8b42a7e178b490c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
We have so much to learn from them …

. … because they are staying in the game.
