Postive mindset is Lazaro's key as soon as you think you are old you become

old.

In November 2009, Thompson cemented his place as the Grandfather of college football when he booted an extra point for the Austin College Kangaroos in a game against Division III power Trinity to win the game. Thompson, a 62-year-old graduate student at Austin, had been a backup kicker in high school, but he dusted off his kicking skills for the first time in four decades to make the comeback.

Moore kicked as a freshman at Jones County Junior College in 1968. At the end of the season he headed off to fight in the Vietnam War, and once his tour of duty was over Moore never managed to get back onto the gridiron. Until last fall, that is.

After getting laid off from his job in 2009, Moore moved to Mississippi to be back near his family and find work, In the meantime he alsso found he once again had the urge to kick. He bought kicking shoes, built a goal post in his yard, and started practicing. After a failed attempt to rejoin his old squad at Jones County, the 62-year-old kicker with 40-plus-yard range suited up for Holmes Community College for the 2010 season where he was one of the best kickers in the comp. This year—at age 63—Moore made the squad at Faulkner University in Montgomery, Alabama.

Mike Flynt

Back in 2007, Flynt told his pals that his biggest regret was getting kicked off of his college football team. When a friend challenged Flynt to do something about it, the 61-year-old Father sprang into action. After establishing that he still had remaining eligibility, Flynt set about rejoining the team at his alma mater, Division III Sul Ross State in Texas.

Flynt wasn’t your average 61-year-old ex-jock, either. He had spent his career working as a strength and conditioning coach at schools like Tennessee and Nebraska, so he’d stayed in shape. He ended up making the Sul Ross State squad as a linebacker where he didn't just hold his own he excelled as one of the strongest in the team. Flynt also won the bench Press competion in the gym.

Mike Flynt

At nearly 61, Hasenfus had almost four decades on his Springfield College teammates. He was their age when his promising baseball career came to a demoralizing end, cut short by an undiagnosed learning disability that left him barely able to read.

That loss had never left him, and he assumed it never would. But now he was back in college, diagnosed late in life with a severe form of dyslexia. And, somehow, he was back on the baseball diamond, driven to make good on a second chance.

“Not being able to play in college killed me,’’ he said. “I never played one inning, because I just couldn’t do the work. That always stuck with me.’’

Hasenfus flunked out of college as a teenager after three semesters and never guessed he would return. But after he lost his job managing a textile plant, Hasenfus decided to give it a second try, and last year enrolled in an adult bachelor’s degree program in human services at Springfield College and was not only good enough to make the team but was one of the best knuckle ball pitcher's in the competition by far even getting a try out with a Minor leauge team after college.

Felton Campbell

64 Year old Felton says people can blame genetics, but even if you are in your 20's and 30's you still need to put in the hard work and I put in all the hard work,' If a 20 or 30 year year old with good genetics and dosen't train and dosen't look after himself he is going to get fat, be unhealthy. But if a guy who's genetics are not as lucky dosen't mean you can't look as good as anyone, it all comes down to healthy eating and hard training.

Wendy Ida

Wendy Ida is a 65 years young internationally recognized Best Selling Author, Speaker, Life Transformation & Fitness Expert & TV Host. Her best-selling book, Take Back Your Life! My No Nonsense Approach to Health Fitness and Looking Good Naked also won the Indie literary book award.

Ramón Arano

63 Year old Ramón Arano was still Pitching professionally in Mexico in 2002 and from all reports he wasn't someone you took lightly.

Paul Risso

61 Year old Paul Risso made his debut at the Raton Osos Semi Pro Minor league team in 2013 and his first game only gave up one hit.

Saoul Mamby

Saoul Mamby, a professional boxer for decades, At age 61 in 2008, he traveled to the Cayman Islands and tussled with boxer Anthony Osbourne. Mamby may have lost the match, but took Osbourne all the way to the tenth round and won respect. Only time will tell if Mamby is done boxing for good.

Ned Overend

Ned Overend is the one we would pick to say that has really been the first one to beat the 60 barrier, still racing professionally and in Elite Mountain biking at age 61 and just competing but winning, Earlier last year at age 59 he won the National Fat bike championship in open against pro athletes half his age.

"Why should you decline performance just because you'reach a certain number, it's when you start thinking that way you will"

Williamtown RAAF squadron leader Phil Frawley proves that if you are still the best you are still the best and a number shouldn't change that. Frawley in his 60's received is one of the worlds oldest active fighter pilot's

Despite most people his age moving on from flying into an office job, Mr Frawley always knew he wanted to stay in the air

‘‘I pretty much love flying and really love instructing,’’ he said. ‘‘I realised early on in my career that I wasn’t cut out for administration or higher duties, it just wasn’t me. So I planned to continue flying for as long as possible.’’ Mr Frawley said just like at any age it was hard work staying in shape, but the Merewether man is a keen surfer and keeps himself active.

These Ladies in there 60's are proving and showing our mindset is changing and it's never to late to take up an extreme sport something society dosen't expect you to.

Philippe Dumas

I studied law but never practiced and instead worked in the movie business and advertising. Due to personal reasons I started a new job in April 2015. For the fun of it I decided to grow my beard thinking it would be a mess, but people said they liked it. This happened many times and so I realized maybe I should try being a model. I started being more careful with the way I dress and understood that maybe I had something. That is when I went to see agencies, and that's when my career began. I was almost 60 by then.

I really love what I am doing and get great pleasure from doing it. What else could I ask for? Maybe to work for a huge international campaign like Chanel or Dior. We all have dreams. And this buzz could help. Who knows.

Chef Babette

For real, the abs and arms of Chef Babette -- the co-owner of the vegan restaurant Stuff I Eat and a partner in the podcast How I'm Livin' with Chef Babette! -- are older than the invention of AstroTurf;

And she can do 65 push-ups. Like, in a row.

Admittedly, she hasn't always been such a powerhouse. It wasn't until she met her husband, Rondal Davis, in 1990 that she left a lifestyle of poor eating and inactivity behind. At the time she took up running and the vegan lifestyle, which helped clear up her lifelong ailments of eczema and asthma. Now she keeps active as the hands-on chef at her restaurant, and with regular runs on the beach and at the park where her husband took her for their first date. During the winter, she adds three weekly personal-training sessions to her schedule, focusing mostly on core and lower-body strength work.

Proof that clean living and an active lifestyle do a body good and that middle age is so young!

Mark Vazzana

at 65

Mark Vazzana, likewise, adopted a healthy lifestyle later in life. It wasn't until he was 45 years old that he decided to quit his 30-year smoking habit, join a gym, and start the Zone diet. While most people fear such massive change, his perspective was different: "I knew in order to quit smoking, I needed to change everything at the same time."

At 56, Vazzana realized he was having trouble maintaining the fitness he'd gained, and at the encouragement of a friend, he decided to try CrossFit, "90 seconds in, I knew I had found the Holy Grail of fitness and have been progressing ever since."

While he's recently cut back on some of the heavier lifting in favor of more bodyweight-focused WODs (that's workout of the day, for the uninitiated), his typical routine consists of three CrossFit WODs per week, some sprinting, and five hours of yoga and gymnastics in his backyard. That adds up to roughly eight hours of training per week, which may sound like a lot, but for a bod like that? It's really not so bad.

So what keeps him motivated? "Staying fit and healthy is important to me so I can take care of my family, run my tree service business, and hopefully inspire others to not let age discourage them."

I'd say he's doing a pretty good job.

Cheryl Cherry

If you're still not convinced that age is just a number, you haven't yet met Cheryl Cherry. This gold medal-winning cyclist from the National Senior Games did her best to stay active and healthy as a young adult she had to hang up her running shoes at only age 40 due to persistent knee pain that resulted in a knee replacement in 2005 at age 58.

It wasn't until 2011, at the age of 64, that she underwent her "great awakening" during a vacation on which she struggled to play with and pick up her infant grandson. It was then that she decided it was time to lose weight and get healthy.

She and her husband started a TRX strength-training routine at the encouragement of her son -- a TRX Master Trainer -- before branching out into road cycling. It took time, but Cheryl lost 50lbs, and after just four years of consistent hard work, she competed at the 2015 National Senior Games, where she took a gold medal in the 10K time trials and a silver in the 5K. She's also set numerous state records in Florida and South Carolina.

These days she plans her days around her workouts, which consist of high-mileage road cycling five days per week, high-intensity interval training two days, and cycling-specific weight training and functional cross-training, including TRX workouts using the suspension trainer and Rip Trainer, on three days. She wraps things up each day with foam rolling and stretching. If it sounds like a lot, it is -- her total training time takes two to four hours a day, six days a week. But at this point in her life, she wouldn't have it any other way: "I absolutely love feeling strong, healthy, and in the best condition of my life!"

Keith Daniels got into the best shape of his life at 69 with the mindset of believing he

can.

You may have never heard the name Skip Hall before, but you should know that he is the oldest man to ever participate in a professional mixed martial arts (MMA) event. At 64 years old, Hall finally in 2009 at 65 after a pretty succesful but short career.. Hall made his debut in MMA past his 60th birthday, Proving it;s never to late to follow your dreams of becoming a pro Athlete. Skip did attain moderate popularity in the sport, taking on a former in 2006. He lost the bout, but ended up with a career record of 5-3, with one match ending in a no contest.

Kay Glynn's been active her whole life, and this young lady loves cartwheels and walking on her hands -- two skills she incorporates into most of her warm-ups. When she decided to take track and field back up in her late 40s, all her dance training paid off in spades, ultimately serving as cross-training for track. Since then, she's racked up six gold medals in the Masters Games, including a new world record for her age group in 2011, when she pole vaulted an impressive 10ft, 1in.

Do you know how much strength it takes to pole vault at all?! A lot. It takes a lot of strength and skill to use a pole to propel yourself over a puddle, much less a 10ft-high bar. So it's a good thing Glynn has high-jump and pole-vault pits in her backyard

Her active life hasn't been without hiccups, though. Since she started her late-life track career, she's undergone total hip replacement surgery and rotator cuff surgery. You'd think these challenges would slow her down, but she's every bit as active as ever, training more than two hours a day, focusing mostly on running, flexibility, and track-specific workouts.

If you think life ends as you get older, Glynn has this to say, "My husband of 43 years and I laugh about the year I turned 50. I started pole vaulting and he bought a Harley -- we're still living happily ever after!"
