Jeff Asay has spent the past 14 years competing in multiple sports at the Huntsman World Senior Games, including softball, basketball, volleyball, tennis, and pickleball; in fact, one year, he did all of them! Jeff served a church mission in England, where he learned to love cricket, and he was a basketball walk-on at Blue Mountain Community College. Jeff coached high school tennis for 10 years and balances athletic competition, business ownership, and an active lifestyle, which is essential for managing his Type 2 diabetes and maintaining both physical and mental health. Despite injuries over the years ranging from a ruptured ACL to a torn bicep tendon, he competes with enthusiasm and humor. Jeff is not the only family member who participates at our Games; his parents have volunteered in transportation for multiple years, and his mom has played pickleball for the last few. They all love the Games’ tradition of volunteering, competition, and connection.
