“There are people that say: why you keep doing that, why are you doing that at your age? Well, because we still can and it is never too late to start and learn new things. It’s exciting!”

“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.”

“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.”
