“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.”

“Later in your years there is a beautiful opportunity to stay fit and it can help you with the workplace, it can help you with injuries and even in your nutrition. It’s really good for a person and what the Masters Games does it brings it to a whole new level, now we can travel and experience this with other people and see what that can do yor you in your latter years.”

“We get to experience different countries, different places you wouldn’t possibly go to visit if it wasn’t for a sport. It’s a nice way of experiencing a new city.”
