Ray Glier is a veteran sportswriter for some of the country’s leading newspapers, including The New York Times, The Washington Post and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, where I had the pleasure of editing him and becoming his friend.

Now, Ray has branched out in the digital world, writing about older athletes in a newsletter he calls — yes, with a wink and a nod — GeezerJock.

I’ve also brought Ray on as a contributor to Prime Fit Content, where my subscribers are enjoying his contributions.

Ray knows how to find and tell amazing stories — sometimes about ordinary people, sometimes about special people, but always with an open heart, curiosity, and precision.

In a world where everybody’s a writer, Ray Glier is the real deal. And I’m delighted to share my recent conversation with him about sports, the compelling power of aging, and what makes a powerful story.
