6 Ways For A Masters Athlete To Be a Model In Your Box

No…not that kind of model.  I mean a role model.  Just because you’re a masters athlete doesn’t mean you’ve been outcasted.  You’re still a valuable member of the box…even if you can’t keep up the young fire-breathers.   Who cares that you’re a few steps slower.  Here’s  a few ways to be a model:

1. Show up…consistently
2. Put forth maximum effort every time
3. Connect, relate and engage…come early / stay after
4.  Encourage, Encourage, Encourage
5. Don’t compare, be yourself…be proud of your efforts, this stuff is hard
6. Have fun!  Crack some jokes.  Be light hearted.
