#523 Benefiting from Senior Sports - Featuring Dr. Kenton Brown

Send us a text

Dr. Kenton Brown, the older of two siblings, grew up during a time of war. While his father was a gifted athlete, he wasn't strongly encouraged to pursue sports. Ken played Little League baseball as a child, but his true passion for sports began with tennis, which he played extensively during his youth. He continued his tennis journey at the University of Notre Dame, but as he progressed through his studies, Ken shifted his focus to pre-med courses, while still staying active through intramural sports and jogging. Jogging became his preferred way to maintain fitness during his demanding medical training, all while managing family life with four children.

Throughout his career, Ken maintained his interest in racquet sports, as well as cycling, running, and swimming. After overcoming a challenging personal period, he joined a senior softball league, marking the start of a new athletic chapter. Since then, Ken has been inducted into the Texas Senior Softball Hall of Fame and has played on multiple championship teams. He also holds several sprinting records at our Games and senior world records. Now 81 and retired, Ken remains active through running, pickleball, and regular exercise.
