So What’s Next For The Thirty Somethings?

The Good old days!

I’ve recently experienced what I consider to be a life changing event, it may not be life threatening but it has made me think about things that I have not considered until now.

Football has been part of my life since I can remember, I’ve never been very good at it but I have enjoyed playing the sport and supported Liverpool from the age of 5. During a recent game I missed a tackle (not unusual) but in the process managed to tear the ligaments in my knee! As a result, I have been advised to give up the sport as I’m in my 30’s and therefore it may never repair itself as well as if I was younger, and could cause big problems in later life. It appears I have no choice.

So what next? My friends and colleagues often tell me that I am a creature of habit and so to change my routine on a Saturday afternoon is going to throw me but more-so, what to replace it with? I love following sport; watching Somerset play cricket, Exeter play rugby and my friends play for local sports clubs but watching doesn’t help me keep fit!

I am a fairly active and sociable chap and also see weekend sport as a good way to release the stresses of the working week. I guess the obvious come to mind; Golf, fishing, swimming, gym, cycling, running, the options are endless.

I haven’t made a decision nor do I intend to just yet and have to focus on my rehabilitation first and foremost. It has made me realise there are so many new opportunities out there for us thirty somethings as well as the twenty somethings, or fifty somethings and so to enjoy the next chapter of sporting activity whatever it maybe.
