SPORTS: Life Lessons From an Olympian, a Hockey Coach, and a Middle-Aged Beginner

In this special episode, three writers share the hard-won wisdom they acquired running track, coaching hockey, and attending surf camp in Costa Rica. First, Olympic runner Alexi Pappas tells us what her career has taught her about self-reliance, mental health, embracing pain, and achieving her dreams. Next, John U. Bacon shares the surprising lessons he learned coaching the country's worst high school hockey team. And journalist Tom Vanderbilt makes a compelling case for being an amateur athlete at any age.
