Description

Jackie Hope and her husband Ray went all in on Mountain Sports after a trip to Japan inspired them.  They were near 50 years of age and decided to go all in trying out and discovering this new passion. It didn't matter that Jackie had never considered herself an athlete, they just surrounded themselves with knowledge people and took it step by step.Takeaways:Look for people to surround yourself with that are defying the stereotype of what it means to get older.

As a former competitive athlete, I understand the importance of consistency when working to reach goals in all areas, while also dealing with these transitions of life.
