Bruce Conner is faster now, at age 57, as a speed skater, than when he was on the national team as a teenager. After narrowly missing making the Olympic team in 1976 he hung up his skates. After 22 years he came back to the sport he loved to complete unfinished business and heal old wounds. Bruce has competed in the Olympic trials at age 19, 49, 53, and 57. As a masters athlete he holds numerous World Championships and world records. The commonly held belief about getting slower as we age, has been blown completely out of the water by Bruce, breaking down that barrier. “Getting better and going faster is more about intention and choices than age.”  Bruce Conner 2013	“Let age enhance your dreams, rather than define them”  		Bruce Conner 2008	When Bruce set upon the journey to make it back to the Olympic trials he opened the door to a journey that would heal old wounds from his past and uncover a rich full meaningful life beyond his wildest dreams.
