Today’s Sprint interval session is led 73 year old pickleball player Andy Leighton. For those unfamiliar with Andy he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s 10 years ago and is the leader of Andy’s Army, which continues to grow and provide support with his mission of Pickleball over Parkinson’s. We discuss how his decision to choose movement and playing pickleball has positively impacted his life and disease process. He provides great insight into how pickleball challenges everything that Parkinson’s is trying to take away from him.
He describes the role that music plays in his life including his time playing French horn at National Airport in DC
His attitude towards life and competition is inspiring and can be a lesson for anyone going through any challenges. I hope you enjoy.
