Second Half
Second Half is a special feature column on Sports & Opinion — a space for reflection, perspective and the stories that remind us sport is part of a bigger human journey.
Inspired by the philosophy that the second half of life — and of any contest — can be the most meaningful, this column explores themes of perseverance, faith, identity and what it truly means to compete, to struggle and to find purpose.
From athletes navigating the second chapters of their careers to the broader life lessons that sport teaches us, Second Half goes beyond the game to explore what sport means to the people who live it.
The best stories don’t always end at the final whistle.
