The Aging Athlete: Inspirational Interviews With Some Of The Fittest Survivors Of Elite Athleticism

What can we learn from former top athletes that is especially relevant for our health and lifestyles? Even though most athletes are essentially performance minded rather than maintenance and wellness minded, it's still a compelling revelation why 90 percent of them don't continue a program to try and retain some of their skills and conditioning. Learning from the 10 percent who do stay fit and healthy is where we can all benefit. "The Aging Athlete" chronicles the fitness and mindset of a group of retired and semi-retired athletes, of what's worked for them over the years since they stopped com-peting or serving in the armed forces. Some of the top athletes include Billy Mills -- 1964 10,000m race gold medalist once considered the most famous living Native American; Ken Shamrock -- former UFC heavyweight champion who was named the World's Most Dangerous Man; Sam "Bam" Cunningham who starred in the famous 1970 Civil Rights Football Game; and Billy Hayes of "Midnight Express" fame whose practice of yoga helped keep him sane during his five years of brutal imprisonment in Turkey before his memorable escape. 9780991182930 0991182936 336 BOOK NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=G2vHoAEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
