Age of Champions

A truly well-done and inspirational documentary!
I was fortunate enough to see this film a few months ago, and I was deeply moved. It was so inspiring to see so many people late in life so full of energy, optimism and positivity. It demonstrates without a doubt that we never stop growing and it is always time to set new goals and strive to meet and exceed them. The film is well-edited and scored, and it left me feeling full of joy (even if it made me feel like I need to really get my act together fitness wise if I'm going to be playing tennis at 100!). Good job guys! I'll be recommending it to all my friends both young and young at heart!

WATCH IT!
This is one of those films that makes your cheeks ache from smiling. At 42, I stopped complaining about feeling old and often conjure memories of these guys - the ladies kicking butt on the basketball court, the swimming brothers, the 100+ guy playing tennis every day! A swift kick of a reminder to shut up and get moving!

A refreshing documentary!
If you wish you could pole-vault and you're under the age of eighty, you have no excuse! These competitors in the National Senior Olympics prove that age is no obstacle to achieving your dreams. People as old as my grandparents, and many who are even older, are seriously involved in competitive sports. I'll admit I never would have believed there was a 100 year old tennis champion until I saw him in action. I was completely blown away, and had to seriously reconsider what (if anything!) I thought was "impossible." In today's youth obsessed culture, it's easy to forget the old adage that it's never too late to make a change in your life. I'm sure the elderly will find this film very uplifting, but viewers of any age will derive a lot of inspiration from Age of Champions. I certainly did.
