5.0 out of 5 starsAging gracefully - with fire: Yes I Can!
By Grady Harp HALL OF FAMETOP 100 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on May 5, 2014
Format: DVD
This is one of those films that will bring a chuckle, a sense of envy, some pride, and a realization that but there for the grace.....Director Christopher Rufo has captured the special moments as athletes prepare for the 2009 National Senior Games: a 100-year old tennis player from Cape Cod, brothers from Washington, D.C., in their 80s who swim, a Texas widower who finds solace in training, and his rival, an 86-year-old champion in field events intent on the world's record in the pole vault for persons over 80. A women's basketball team from Louisiana is hair-dos and drawls off the court, but tigers on. We watch the athletes train, they talk about why they compete, family members and friends comment. One of the brothers undergoes cancer treatment. Then it's on to San Francisco to go for the gold. It is a fun film, inspiring, and humbling - all at the same wonderful time. Grady Harp, May 14

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat role models!
By The OC on July 23, 2013
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
I enjoyed this film just as everyone else has. If there is one thing that is good for both body and mind it is exercise - particularly exercise in sports that you find enjoyable. From what I've seen, the separation in physical and mental well being between those who exercise and those who don't really accelerates after age 60. The exercise does not have to be as competitive as that in the video but it does have to be demanding enough to maintain overall good health. I feel I'm stating the obvious here but it is also obvious that a high percentage of those over 60 don't want to give up their beer and TV watching etc.

Some questions arose in my mind re the competing athletes in the video. The interviews did not go into training methods. The impression is left that they train only by working on their sport. Do they also run or jog, lift weights, do calisthenics? I would have liked to hear a little more info on that. Do they watch their diets and weight? I saw a highly competitive gentleman who looked like his pole vault competition would have gone much better if he dropped 20 lbs. or so. Are they tempted to use "anti-aging" or performance enhancing drugs as some professional athletes have apparently done in recent years? I hope not. I admire then all greatly.

5.0 out of 5 starsNever give up!!
By Jerry Guild TOP 1000 REVIEWER on January 22, 2014
Format: DVD
This is a movie that should be watched by everyone ,young or old.It's all about people who have continued sport competition well into their later years.Although the people ( all real people) in the movie played these sports when they were younger,and played them well,they continued into their advanced years,all looking to win Championships in one form or another.Although it is not necessary to win such championships,it's the fact that such activities can be continued,long after most think they can,t,that's important..Hobbies and activities are a very important aspect that keeps one involved physically,mentally and socially.We don't all have to partake in strenuous activities such as these.There is no end of the things that people can get involved in all their lives or take up in later years,
How heavily involved really doesn't matter,just as long as the amount of effort you are willing or able to put into it is up to you.I am nearly 79 and have always been involved in hobbies and activities.I curled and bowled for many years.I was an active Rockhound and Birder for years.I loved playing Badminton,Snooker and Pool.I did a lot of traget shooting,play Bridge,did some Art,and a lot of Ice and Roller Skating and swimming,always loved Nature,and spending time outdoors and enjoying all aspects of nature,;and in all these activities made friends with people of all ages,many much older than myself at the time.I was really never very interested in heavy competition or contact sport,mainly because I always preferred to "make peace than war". Some people tend to stick with one activity exclusively and become very good at it;l,but I always seemed to move on after a while.About 25 years ago ,I started Birding,and for years did almost nothing else.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsA truly well-done and inspirational documentary!
By Tre Borden on July 4, 2013
Format: DVD
I was fortunate enough to see this film a few months ago, and I was deeply moved. It was so inspiring to see so many people late in life so full of energy, optimism and positivity. It demonstrates without a doubt that we never stop growing and it is always time to set new goals and strive to meet and exceed them. The film is well-edited and scored, and it left me feeling full of joy (even if it made me feel like I need to really get my act together fitness wise if I'm going to be playing tennis at 100!). Good job guys! I'll be recommending it to all my friends both young and young at heart!

5.0 out of 5 starsWATCH IT!
By rchicago on July 4, 2013
Format: DVD
This is one of those films that makes your cheeks ache from smiling. At 42, I stopped complaining about feeling old and often conjure memories of these guys - the ladies kicking butt on the basketball court, the swimming brothers, the 100+ guy playing tennis every day! A swift kick of a reminder to shut up and get moving!

5.0 out of 5 starsA Perfect Companion to Our Health & Wellness Program
By Kindle Customer on July 4, 2013
Format: DVD
When I first saw the message on facebook for the film Age of Champions, there was an immediate connection for me and I ordered the DVD.

Watching this film, I was so inspired by these seasoned athletes who have such great stories to tell and a competitive spirit that is nothing short of contagious. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to bring the film to a larger audience when our congregation decided to launch a healthy lifestyle program the first part of the year.

Holding a screening of the film Age of Champions was a perfect way for us to launch our new program and having both the film's director and producer attend and hold a Q & A session certainly added value. Laughter, tears and applause were all emotions expressed by the audience and everyone in attendance agreed the film was very well-done and many were motivated to make lifestyle changes immediately.

There are so many health benefits to being both physically and socially active and both are on full display in the film Age of Champions - one of our senior groups will be hosting a viewing party soon and over time we know this film will become a staple in our health ministry program outreach.

Thank you for your exceptional work and all of the good things Age of Champions inspires to bring to the health and well-being of our congregation for many years to come.
