I peaked when I made 1st Team All State in Class B boys basketball my senior year. Been downhill ever since.
Thx but we’ve known this since 2/18/2008.

The older I get,
the better I was.

Yes, I’m past my peak. I didn’t realize it at the time because it wasn’t a high peak, but the slide down the backside of my peak is a long and steep drop.

I'm 71, so it's likely all downhill from here. Life is full of peaks and valleys and it's more how you handle the valleys in what determines how you've lived your life as far as I'm concerned. The peaks are easy. The valleys are what tests you.


You seem like a very wise person with great stories.

We’ll see. I think peak joy would be my wife and I seeing our son reach his goals...a joy I could not have manifested on my own. Leading every pitch up the Regular Fairview route (only 5.9+) was it…physically/mentally for me alone.

10th grade of high school or freshman year of college…not too sure, but I’ve definitely peaked.

Physical: I’m into my 50s, a shadow of what I once was.

Mental: still sharp as a tac.

Career: I’ve reached a level where I truly enjoy what I’m doing and am compensated for my efforts handsomely. My plan is to retire in a few years doing what I do now.

Financial: I live quite comfortably and can provide for all my family’s wants and needs in a manner most cannot.

These days it takes me all night long just to be able to do what I used to could do all night long...

Physical peak - Still getting better. More aches and pains than I used to have but I'm in the best shape of my life at 35 and still getting better.
Mental peak - I hope not, always room for improvement there.
Career peak - No, still slowly climbing the ladder.
Financial peak - Lord I hope not.

You can be in better shape at 37 than you were at 27 but your potential ceiling is lower.

True, I never came anywhere close to figuring out what my potential was 10 years ago. I have a much healthier lifestyle, diet, training, etc now than I used to.

Physical peak - strong as I have ever been
Mental peak - never better
Career peak - staying put until kids are out of the house then will ascend
Financial peak - making more than ever but no where near my peak
