Masters Sprinter; Allan Tissenbaum has won 5 individual world
championships over the past 20 years. His biggest community achievements
have been in service to the greater community, through years of volunteer
coaching of athletes, of all levels and sports, and his medical volunteering in
foreign countries.
“Allan Tissenbaum is striding on that bridge every athlete with a competitive fiber must cross. He is 62 years old, a world champion in the 100 meters
in the World Masters in Finland last weekend, but he is approaching a peak age for a Masters track & field athlete."
How long does he keep up being worldly? Does he leave the sport entirely, or just throttle down and settle for the fun?
Tissenbaum is not just thinking about what's next. He's thinking about who's next. The question that lingers for Tissenbaum these days is this: Why is my bridge so crowded with athletes
ready to leave?” Excerpt from Geezer Jock, by Ray Glier. .
