Aer my professional playing days, I learned that the joy of play doesn't go away when the paychecks stop either. ose days are oh so long ago now, but play remains a big part of my life.

Now there is a broader purpose to working out, beyond winning games on Sunday aernoons in the fall. My definition of play changed years ago.

We hope you enjoy this issue and that you find inspiration to play your way to a longer and healthier life.
