“#Why athletes Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady are still winning<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

These athletes are beating their competitors \u2014 and Father Time.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, PGA Tournament champion Phil Mickelson became, at 50 years old, the oldest golfer to win a major. Tom Brady, 43, notched his seventh Super Bowl championship in February, breaking his own record as the oldest player to do so. That same month, Serena Williams, 39, made history at the Australian Open as the oldest active player to advance to a Grand Slam semifinal. <\/p>\n

Last weekend, Olympic gymnast Chellsie Memmel came out of retirement to compete at the US Classic \u2014 at the relatively geriatric age of 32.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, athletes definitely have different expectations surrounding career longevity,\u201d said Tim Grover, author of \u201cWinning: The Unforgiving Race to Greatness<\/a>.\u201d \u201cThey want to play longer.\u201d<\/p>\n

He credits this new wave of mature success to combination of mental training, nutrition and technological advancements that help manage bodily stress and mitigate injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s so many resources available\u00a0out there that allow us to gather this information on performance and incorporate it into working out, rest and nutrition, and massage therapy and muscle activation,\u201d said Grover, who has trained Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade and Russell Wilson. \u201cWe were just kind of playing with all of these pieces in the \u201980s and \u201990s. Now, every athlete has found their teams\u00a0who all have their specialities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brady is famous for his monastic TB12 method that shuns nightshade vegetables (tomatoes, eggplants, peppers) and puts pliability \u2014\u00a0working out with resistance bands and vibrating rollers to make muscles more soft and resilient \u2014\u00a0first. <\/p>\n

But what\u2019s good for the GOAT isn\u2019t always good for the gander. High-performance athletes have individualized programs that cater to their specific needs, deficiencies and strengths.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe program I had Kobe on was totally different from what I had MJ on and same for Dwyane Wade,\u201d said Grover. And that may mean they don\u2019t end up with a six-pack. \u201cGuys like Tom Brady and Phil don\u2019t have the shredded physique of what an athlete is supposed to look like, but the [body] parts they need to perform are so finely tuned.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wearable technology<\/a>, meanwhile, gives trainers and medical professionals the ability to evaluate a pro\u2019s wear and tear and injury risk at an increasingly sophisticated, granular level. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have more understanding to measure heart rate variability and strain and stress on the body,\u201d Dr. Michael Zacchilli, an orthopedic surgeon at Northwell Health, told The Post. \u201cWe can do that in a pretty precise manner.\u201d <\/p>\n

He added that, in decades past, athletes would play through muscle strains \u2014\u00a0but now they\u2019re more inclined to rest.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re also now more focused on nutrition \u2014\u00a0and less on partying \u2014\u00a0than in the days of William \u201cThe Refrigerator\u201d Perry, John Daly and Dennis Rodman.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe athletes of the past, they celebrated hard and they celebrated long,\u201d said Grover. \u201cAthletes today, they celebrate hard but not long. They enjoy their cigars and tequila, but they don\u2019t indulge on a regular basis.\u201d<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s not just the pros who are benefiting from all of this new biometric information. Zacchilli noted how the accessibility of wearables is driving the trend of enduring peak performance in the general<\/a> population as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe amount of active older adults is increasing drastically. The [finish-line] times at the New York City marathon for older age groups haven\u2019t plateaued yet. They are still going up,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dr. Manisha Parulekar, chief of geriatrics at Hackensack University Medical Center, said she was \u201celated\u201d when she saw Mickelson\u2019s historic victory and plans to use it to evangelize an active lifestyle for her patients.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat these athletes are telling us is that, if you do the right things earlier on, you have a chance of being healthy, active and independent for a longer period of time.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
