Back to the ground after a long time
Don't want to miss the fun even though many recommends stop playing football
There is a saying that age is just a number, it all depends on our mindset and physical well being. With age, it's very easy to loose the mindset, if we do not maintain our physical state. Those who maintain often consider that as the biggest blessing and staying healthy after fifty is the most challenging task, unless you follow a strict discipline.
For me it's a little extra challenging as I switch over places - when I am with the kids at our apartment in the city, I have no place to play football, so I do normal exercise for more than one hour, running around the society, stretching, cycling and kicking the football for some time just to retain that power. Some people in our society even cautioned me to not to run at this age saying it may hurt my knees or back. They think they are doing a good job, but at times it demotivated me, so I consulted a very good Orthopedics doctor who after examining, said it's fine. Prevention is always better than cure, so following his guidance at regular intervals ensures my mental strength - at this age fear is our biggest enemy. In my entire life, he is the only doctor whom I respect like God, because of his high ethical commitment for patient well-being at the age of seventy five. May be I should show him and write a post on him at some point - he is quite an inspiration.
And now meet our team and the ambience - we have players from age 12 to 65 playing for one hour everyday with Monday off.
Surrounded by greenness all around, it's a blissful morning every day to play here, this time the cricket team were playing a match when we arrived but they promised to finish by our time - respect for elders is another big value that sports teaches us.
It was fun to watch their tennis ball match - we still like to play cricket, but unfortunately life does not permit that much time. But you have seen us celebrating an annual event to remember those good times - life was full of fun and free of stress even though we did not have money. Back then I often wondered why people get stressed - now I realize, you understand certain things only after certain age.
He is sixty five but never misses to come to the ground, inspiring us how to beat the age.
Our natural pavilion full of oxygen to watch the sports - that kid broke his hand while playing and taking rest but can't resist coming to the field and watch us play.
By seeing the ambience you can feel how inspiring it is to rush to the field every morning - it's like an adrenaline rush.
And nature gives us bonus at times - we get some natural fresh mushrooms during these rainy days.
Only for those, who know how to identify - never eat a mushroom that you are not sure about.
And we also get a free treatment for nerve related issue - show your palm to these little calf (if possible with some food), their tongue does wonders to cure any nerve related issue, do you know that ? Those are things of past for many.....
And for the first time I took the camera to the field and captured some niche shots, that will be a memoir for life time.

Good that you consulted a doctor first. We're aging and that's inevitable.
Playing soccer used to be one of my biggest hobbies. But I haven't played in a while, and now I feel too out of shape to play soccer. Maybe if I keep doing cardio, I'll be able to start playing again soon. The reason people are telling you to give up soccer may be the increase in heart attacks in recent years. In the past year, I’ve seen several reports in the news about people having heart attacks on soccer fields in Turkey. This never used to happen before. If you feel fine, I don’t think there will be any problems.
May be it has something to do with Covid vaccine ? I am not scared though, as long as I can, I will play.
I don't know it might be. As you and I said, as long as you feel good and feel able to play you can play, regards.

Indeed, most of us realize it in ur 40s. While we mature mentally in 40s, we begin to feel that we are past our prime in terms of physical health. That is why most people become conscious in their 40s.
Sir, take dates, flaxseed ans grams regulaly, that will aid your health in running, particularly the joints.
That's the real treasure, greenery+natural ground+natural fresh air.
Keep running, keep playing, and keep releasing happy hormones.
Thank you.
Jai Jagannath.
🙏🙏🙏
I need to add grams then, other two I take every day.
Yes, Sir, it works, and you can feel it. I have experimented with it.
Vaah sir ye age m bhi sports khelna kafi badhiya h stay fit and healthy, ground pr cricket khelne m toh kafi zayda maza aata h
Actually, as you mentioned, age is just a number. If we think that we are already old, we actually have to act from that age. Although many young men and women go to physical exercise centers as they reach adolescence, when they reach middle age, they forget about physical exercise forever, saying that they have to fulfill family responsibilities. This is when our physical strength decreases and diseases begin to occur. Since we have to pay attention to a good physical level from the age of 40, we should be careful to do some exercise. Usually, an easy exercise like jogging is beneficial for the whole body. We should pay more attention to doing an exercise that suits us.
Under such a situation, it is better for you to make a very strong decision and play football. But it is difficult to play football constantly. It feels amazing to see the positive thoughts of those who play with you. We should not think about age, but about what we can do.
Exactly..
People of different ages come together in the same stadium and play different games, which helps to develop interpersonal relationships. Meanwhile, the way older people play as hard as young people is a good example for those who are lazy.
Hello dear friend @sanjeevm, how are you?
Without a doubt, staying healthy is very important, especially if you're approaching 50. At that age, your job is to take care of your health.
You're doing very well to stay in shape by exercising, and playing soccer is an excellent way to stay physically and mentally fit.
How great that you're all playing soccer together. The field is truly beautiful and full of natural beauty.
Beautiful photographs. I appreciate you sharing this life experience.
Have a great day.

Since you already have your doctor's permission, what other people say doesn't matter. We need to exercise to keep fit, irrespective of age.
If your physic allow you to do it, it's good and also you have a lot of fun
It's true, stress comes only after a certain age...
And yes it's hard to find good doctors

These life moment can only be enjoyed in small town and cities. The elder generation set up up some level to i spire others to follow . I saw that in my childhood and now again experiencing in the steel city of India. Morning routine with physical workouts and games..who needs gym for building a body. Be natural
Ya, not at this age though, if we are fit, then that's good enough. Happiness in small towns are much better.
One thing I really appreciate about this whole thing is the way everyone, regardless of age, comes together to play and enjoy the game. The setting looks peaceful too
I acknowledge the importance of staying active and playing football, regardless of age, emphasizing that a positive mindset and physical well-being are key to maintaining health and vitality.
Hello Mr. @sanjeevm
It's great that you're participating with your friends playing soccer, and the best part is that they're people of all ages.
Soccer is a fun sport, and it's very healthy for staying in shape.
Have a beautiful day.
That line about fear being the biggest enemy at this age really hit me. You’re not just playing football — you’re inspiring everyone around you, regardless of age. The photos captured so much more than a game; they reflect community, passion, and that childlike joy we often forget.
Welcome back!
I congratulate you on your enthusiasm and passion indeed. It is a strange irony that I am still young, but I am sometimes too lazy to practice any kind of sport.
This truly confirms that age is just a number and that willpower plays a major role, no matter your age. My regards to you.
You should better change that very soon.
Yes I always try to change that. Thank you for your concern.
Wow! Your spirit is really inspiring 😀
Sometimes it is necessary that one engage in exercise like this to help stay fit and to help burn the calories also. Health is wealth
The doctor is the only one who can permit you to do that and I’m happy that you consulted your doctor first so carry on and have some fun
I just believe that people are not doctors. If your doctor gives you the go ahead, then ignore every other thing that anyone tells you
Play football and keep fit!
Excellent that he can enjoy playing with friends again. He also knew how to take advantage of all the benefits that nature offers. Ignore your neighbors. If you think you're fit enough to play, do it. Life is only one.

It's good that you have a doctor you can really trust because of his ethical standards. Not everyone follows such standards.

Yes, that's a blessings, I will write sometimes about him.
That field where they play looks incredible, plus the green vegetation makes it much more striking and they can all have fun together at the same time. They know their limitations and make the game what they want, just for fun.
As long as you play football responsibly and without wanting to give more than you can, I think you'll be fine, so you shouldn't worry about other people's opinions, only those who are truly important to you, my friend.
Friends, greenery and surroundings itself is a great ambience to make us more energetic. Its nice seeing the young and old in the playground. Life after 50 is definitely crucial and it's really motivating to see the steps you are taking to be energetic, after taking suggestion from an Orthopedic.
They say that age is just a number and just because someone is older doesn't mean they shouldn't try. I think it is very important to stay active even if that means that your performance is going to be less than the youngsters. For me, the most annoying thing is that I am much more breakable now but that is just normal... :)
Playing is really good, if feels really engaging and makes you extremely fit, It seems as if you're having a lot of fun. I'm also trying to get into any such activity as my institution is offering some sports activities. That will be really cool.
Anyhow, Have a good day:)
It was lovely going through your post.! Good to see such enthusiasm of yours!!
