Late to the ball : age. learn. fight. love. play tennis. win/ Gerald Marzorati. by Marzorati, Gerald Scribner c2016. Call #: 796.342092 M393L Subjects Mazorati, Gerald   Tennis players -- United States -- Biography   Authors -- United States -- Biography   Editors -- United States -- Biography   Sports for older people -- Anecdotes ISBN:  9781476737393 (hc) Edition:  1st Scribner hardcover ed. Description:  269 p. ; 24 cm. Summary:  "An award-winning author shares the inspiring and entertaining account of his pursuit to become a nationally competitive tennis player--at the age of sixty. Being a man or a woman in your early sixties is different than it was a generation or two ago, at least for the more fortunate of us. We aren't old yet. But we sense it coming: Careers are winding down, kids are gone, parents are dying (friends, too), and our bodies are no longer youthful or even middle-aged. Learning to play tennis in your fifties is no small feat, but becoming a serious, competitive tennis player at the age of sixty is a whole other matter. It requires training the body to defy age, and to methodically build ones game--the strokework, footwork, strategy, and mental toughness. Gerry Mazorati started playing the game seriously in his mid-fifties. He had the strong desire to lead an examined physical life, to push his body into the "encore" of middle age. In Late to the Ball, Mazorati writes vividly about the difficulties, frustrations, and the triumphs of his becoming a seriously good tennis player. He takes on his quest with complete vigor and absolute determination to see it through, providing a rich, vicarious experience involving the science of aging, his existential battle with time, and the beautiful, mysterious game of tennis. Late to the Ball is also captivating evidence that the rest of the Baby Boomer generation, now between middle age and old age, can find their own quest and do the same."--Jacket Holds:  0   Copy/Holding information No Item Information
