50 Years Between Victories Offers A Roadmap to Reignite the Athlete Within

Madison, Wisconsin, August 31, 2025: In a world that often celebrates youthful athleticism, a new book is turning that notion on its head. Proving it’s never too late to reclaim your strength, discipline, and competitive edge. 50 Years Between Victories: 8 Steps to Resuming an Athlete’s Lifestyle Later in Life is the empowering new guide for former amateur athletes and active individuals ready to make a comeback after injury, career, parenting, or simply time away.

Written for anyone who once trained, competed, or thrived in sports but lost touch with that version of themselves, 50 Years Between Victories defines a practical and inspiring path back to physical vitality no matter what your age.

“It’s not about reliving the glory days,” says Jim DeGoey. “It’s about reigniting your passion for movement, discipline, and confidence with the wisdom and perspective you didn’t have in your 20s.”

In eight focused chapters, the book offers a roadmap to:

• Rebuild athletic identity without ego or injury
• Train smarter with age-conscious methods
• Reconnect with community, competition, and recovery
• Set realistic goals that fuel long-term consistency

Whether you’re a former high school star, college athlete, or just someone who once lived for the thrill of sport, 50 Years Between Victories proves that the athlete never truly disappears. They simply need a new game plan.
