Phil Raschker, our Usain Bolt, again poster child for masters sports

A new website called SecondAct features Masters Hall of Famer Phil Raschker in a story on masters sports. See it here. I like SecondAct’s mantra: “Your first 40 years may have been successful. Your next 40 can be even better.” The article quotes Phil as saying: “At times I have stepped away from being competitive and gone into hibernation for a while. But when I don’t have the object of being able to compete, I find that I’m not quite living the lifestyle that I want to.” So she comes out of hibernation. The cool part of hibernation: We can choose to shed it. The SecondAct article celebrating masters sports comes the same week as a well-argued story by Amy Shipley in The Washington Post that our sport (with Usain Bolt’s help) is growing in popularity after years of stagnation. It’s all good. And when Usain turns 35 in 12 years, he has other worlds to conquer.
