Seasoned Athlete

This week, we talk to Margaret Olawoye, a retired teacher from Chicago, Illinois. She has played, among other sports, softball, racquetball, tennis, basketball, track and field and now pickleball – one of the fastest growing sports, particularly among the senior population. She's in the Chicago 16” softball hall of fame, a Senior Games athlete and a huge sports and fitness advocate. Margaret talks about how she got into sports in a time when organized sports weren't available to girls and tells us how she got into pickleball later in life. Plus, Margaret shares her "anything goes" perspective when it comes to trying a new sport.
