He found two future Olympic finalists standing in his own driveway — before either of them owned a pair of spikes. Alan Sims has spent 50 years in track and field: as a 9-year-old who fell in love with the sport by accident, a high school record holder, a coach who's sent over 500 athletes to college, and now a 60-year-old masters sprinter and long jumper still competing at a world-class level. In this episode, Alan talks about: — How a knee injury ended his own college career before it started — The driveway conversation that led to coaching an Olympic family — Why recovery matters more at 60 than it did at 20 — The visibility problem holding masters athletics back from real sponsorship and reach If you've ever wondered what it takes to stay in a sport for five decades — and still find new reasons to love it — this one's for you.
