You think you are to old?
Ray Lewis linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens and one of my favorite players of all time.. He is 37 years old and is going on his 16th season in the NFL. Lewis is a 13 time pro bowler, has won a superbowl, became a superbowl MVP, and he has been defensive player several times. And guess what, he has never lost a step! He still tackles as hard as he did when he came into the league. He runs from one end of the field to the other chasing down running backs and still one of the best linebackers in the league.. Most people would retire at that age because they cant do it anymore and cant hang with these younger guys but not Lewis. Why? Because Lewis never stops.. He never stops training and he never stops taking care of himself with nutrition.. He has a drive, a goal, and has love for football!
I watched an interview with Lewis and the interviewer asked, ” How can you still play like you are 25 still” not 100% sure those exact words but along those lines.. Lewis then broke it down for him.. Ray Lewis trains all year round, after the NFL season is over, he takes a few weeks off to rest and to be with his family. After those few weeks are up he is back in the gym, training hard but smart. He also went on with how he believes his body is a temple and treats it that way. He lives a healthy lifestyle with training and nutrition. He fuels his body with what he needs and doesn’t put crap in his body. This is how Lewis can play at the age of 37 and keep up with younger guys. His body is still young which lets his mind still feel young.. He has goal to win another superbowl and loves the sport of football which drives him everyday to wake up, train hard, eat right, and live a healthy lifestyle!
So just remember, if you are going to let age define you, let Ray Lewis be a reminder to you! Yes, he is an athlete and has been his whole life. But that doesn’t mean anything. If you set a goal and have the drive to reach that goal, you can do whatever you want no matter what age. You just have to take that first step towards it! Lastly, you can find these interviews with Ray Lewis on youtube.
