92 year old soccer coach Maria Angelica Ramos is dwarfed by most of her players. But she is not let age distract her from her goal of turning the youngster on a junior squad in Lima, Peru, into full fledged football players.
I have been here for more than 40 years, but when I lived in Barranco I already had a team. I left that when I came here, so you can imagine how many years I’ve been in a sports.”
With her brusque style salty language and emphasis on discipline, she’s earned the affection of the young players who call her la vieja or the old lady.
Her coaching style has taken her Club to many championships and she says she does not intend to stop.
I’m going to keep going as long as God wants me to. I do not know but I think I’m going to die in some soccer pitch. But I am going to keep going with this.

92岁的足球教练玛丽亚 安吉莉卡 拉莫斯(Maria Angelica Ramos)比自己的大多数球员都要矮，但她年龄并不能阻止她为自己的目标努力。她的目标就是将秘鲁首都利马的一支少年足球队培养为可以征战四方的足球选手。
我做这个队的教练已经40多年了，但我刚到巴兰克的时候就已经有了一支自己的队伍。我离开了最初的那支队伍来到了这里。所以可以想象的到我从事体育行业已经有很多个年头了。
性格直率、说话不留情面、纪律严明的她赢得了年轻球员的喜爱，大家称她为玛妈。
她训练球员的风格如此，让她所在的俱乐部多次问鼎冠军，而且她说，她还不打算停下脚步。
我撸起袖子加油干，直到我上帝呼唤我离开。我不知道我离去的那天会是什么样子，或许就在足球场上吧。但无论如何，我会在这条路上一直走下去。
维吉尼亚 麦克劳林(Virginia McLaurin)需要外力的些许帮助才能转起篮球，但她依然可以跳舞。两年前，106岁的她还秀了一番舞姿。她曾和奥巴马在白宫跳过舞。本周，她即将迎来自己109岁的诞辰，在华盛顿的一所小学跟自己的球员们一起庆生。
能跟孩子们还有哈林篮球队在一起是我最开心的事。我真的发自内心的感到幸福。
三年了，每年的3月12日，麦克劳林和运动员们都会来学校跟学生们一起为她庆生。
