Mehän sovittiin, että kulut pysyy kurissa. Rauhoitu. Se on pirkkaa. Mukana arjes ja häis. Niin ala kuin yläkimmäis. Varmasti ehtaa ja laatua. Vain osana iltaa ja aamua. Eikä tartu paljon ees palua. Jos valinnat tarkasti harkitsee. Voit päästä pöytään jo valmiin. Se ota pirkkaa. Sä tarvitset. Edelleen pysytään kiskoilla. Edelleen pirkka. K-ruokakaupoista. Jo nelkyt vuotta.
Hello and welcome to the documentary from the BBC World Service. I'm Katie Smith. And I'd like to recommend the podcast that I host, Not By The Playbook, where we bring you inspirational stories from around the world, featuring interviews with people who are defying the odds. You can listen and subscribe to Not By The Playbook wherever you found this podcast. And in this episode, we explore the concept in sport and in life that it's never too late.
It's never too late to be what you might have been, so wrote the Victorian author George Eliot. And I think she would herself be inspired by the guests we've gathered together this week. Having searched the world for the best stories in sport, we're about to embark on an hour of radio that might force a rethink to what you can achieve.
Kaikki, jotka olivat epäileviä minua, eivät saaneet mielestäni tuota paikkaa. En jätä heitä mukaan. Olen todella vahva uskaltaja, ettei sinun voi välttämättä haittaa itseäsi ja ettei sinun voi välttämättä haittaa itseäsi. Ja se on paljon parempi paikka olla, se on varmasti. Enrollointiin ei ole loppupuoltajia. Ei ole million dollarin kontrakteja koulujen jälkeen. Mutta mitä löydät, on joku, joka näyttää itseään joka päivä.
To rip apart their hands and break their backs for the person who sits in front of you and the person who sits behind you and themselves. Those are the kind of people I need in my life. More from the world's strongest women Meg Robson-Austin and Roa Arshe Cooper on Not By The Playbook from the BBC World Service with me Katie Smith.

Chapter 2: What inspiring story does Mike Flynn share about playing college football at 59?
Ja aloitamme Teksassa. Ja huomattavasti Mike Flintin tarina. Tämä on niin yllättävää, että se lukee niin kuin hollywoodin elokuvan. Joten luulen, että he tekevät tämän hollywoodin elokuvan. Mikes on resilienssi. Ei kuitenkaan ongelmallinen koulutus, mutta hänen onnistunut onnistuminen.
Koska Mike tuli taas pelaamaan yliopistolle 59-vuotiaana. Tämä oli se eri joukko, joka tuli taas pelaamaan neljä vuotta aiemmin. Oli kyllä kaksi kertaa. Oli sama mies, mutta tosi erilaisia ihmisiä. Joukko, joka tuli taas pelaamaan, ja vanha, joka tuli taas pelaamaan, eivät olleet samaa työtä.
Mielestäni meidän täytyy mennä takaisin aluksi, koska mainitsit, että olit erilainen. Olin nuori ja mainitsit viiollisuutta ja taistelua. Kerro meille, miksi se oli ja kuka olit silloin. Isäni oli World War II-veteran. Puhuin paljon ihmisistä siitä,
It was my dad that put me on that path of violence. But looking back on my life, it was my mother and the things that she went through that I didn't find out until I was a little older that so inspired me in so many different ways.
Minun isäni aloitti boxeja, kun olin kuusi vuotta vanha. Hän kutsui boxeja. Olin melko varma siitä, mitä me teemme. Mutta se ei ollut niin paljon se fysiittinen treeni, jota hän antoi minulle, kuin se oli se mentaalinen treeni, jota hän antoi minulle.
Vuosia myöhemmin kutsuin sitä ajatukseksi. Isä kutsui sitä olevaksi valmiina. Olen tullut haastattelijana. West Texasissa on tärkeää ymmärtää kulttuurin, jossa on Refnex ja Oilfield, Cowboys ja futboli. Lopulta puolustuksessa
We won state championship on the team that inspired the movie Friday Night Lights. Then my freshman year, going into college, I was a star college player. I was team captain going into my senior year. But over the course of those years that I was there,
I had multiple fist fights off the field. Were they provoked? Were they started by you? It just happened to me, and it was that mindset I had. Anyway, finally I was kicked out. I got in a fight. They called the police, and the police called the president of the college. He told me, I've heard Mike Flint's name for the last time, you're gone.
What was that moment like for you? Well, it was devastating for me. You see, I was team captain. I was an all-conference linebacker. And after I was kicked out, they didn't even have a winning season. They went four, six and one. And I shouldered that.

Chapter 3: How did Meg Robson-Austin overcome chronic pain to become the World's Strongest Woman?
It will always be a work in progress, but there's very few days now, very few days where I'm like, no, I can't do this, this is rubbish kind of thing. Are you proud of yourself? I'm very proud of myself, and it's taken me a long time to have the courage to say that out loud, because especially as women, you get told you're arrogant, you shouldn't be shouting about your achievements, and we get told to stay in our boxes and stay in our lanes, but I'm really, really proud of what I've achieved, and I'm not afraid to say it anymore.
Well, here's to stepping out of our boxes, striding out of our lanes and seeing what we can achieve. Meg, thank you so much for your time. I love chatting to you. Thank you for having me. It's been great. Meg Robson-Austin, quite rightly proud of all she has fought to achieve.
Hei hei! Producentti Joel täällä vastauksessa tänä viikon aamuna. Vuonna 2022 Lester Wright rikkoi rakennuksen parhaimmillaan koko ajan 100 metrin aikana. Haluaisin tietää, mitä se rakennus on?
And for context, don't forget, Usain Bolt holds the current record for the 100 meters, at any age, at 9.58 seconds, sets in 2009, when he was just 22. Well, Lester, aged 100, set the record in an incredible 26 seconds. Just let that sink in. Lester Wright, aged 100, run the 100 meters in just 26 seconds. That's probably half the time I can do it in, and I'm half his age.
I'm Katie Smith and this is not by the playbook from the BBC World Service. Sometimes it can seem like it's too late, even before you get going. That the random chance of being born into specific circumstances can dictate large parts of your own life.
Arsha Cooper could easily have slipped into gang life and violence, but he carved a different path through sports. Not in itself unusual, but when you hear that Arsha's chosen sport was rowing, then you can start to understand how different his story really is.
We started with his early life. I grew up on the west side of Chicago in a city that had great sports like Chicago Bulls, the Chicago Cubs, the Chicago Bears. And you grew up believing as you go to school every day and pledge allegiance to the flag or take the US Constitution test that this is your city, this is your country, that you belong there.
ja olet amerikkalaisiltainen, ja sinulla on perusmahdollisuus kaikkiin asioihin, joita ihmiset toisella puolella vettä, jotka eivät näytä kuin minä, joilla on ehkä hieman enemmän kuin minä, ovat. Sitten olet vanhempi, ja olet aloittanut tämän elitarkastuksen, ja aloitat nähdä eroa maailmassa.
certain kids are allowed in stores that i'm not allowed to go into just because the color of my skin or where i'm from there are certain boat clubs that i couldn't step foot in because i couldn't afford it when you say this is your city and this is like like a public park
